Jose Guitron, owner of Jerry’s diner and El Aguila Real in Lakeview, has made a routine of swinging by the U.S. Bank branch across the street from the diner every couple of days to deposit cash and pay bills.
But starting this week, Guitron’s bank runs may take at least two hours to accomplish. That’s because the local U.S. Bank branch in the small southern Oregon town will close on Tuesday. After that, he’ll be facing at least an hour drive, one way, to visit a U.S. Bank branch in Klamath Falls or Alturas, California.
