On the right is the Virginia Square shopping center where there was a food store, drug store, and fashion store. The Virginia Square shopping center was around in the 1950s.
On the left is the same place in 2011. It is now the FDIC building and a Giant supermarket. The Giant is in approximately 60 years ago.
