A couple years back, the Birchwood Shopping Center went thru a pretty comprehensive remodel. But they left a remaining segment of its original facade. My best theory: since this wall doesn't face Virginia Beach Blvd, they didn't want to invest in re-doing it. And I appreciate it. It's a remnant of its old '7os form. (This is the back wall facing Lampl, where Revco used to be.)

The whole complex used to have these ridged walls, with the '7os ball lights. It reminds me of its 8os Outlet Mall days.
