Another strange adaptation of a strip mall. This one is anchored by a still-in-business and thriving grocery store, but almost all of the smaller space has been taken over by non-retail uses, most of it having to do with real-estate or financial services. It must be convenient to have so many banks, mortgage brokers, realtors, etc. all in the same place, but how often is it convenient? How often do people buy houses? Do the brokers benefit from people passing by on their way to the grocery store? "Honey, on your way back from the store, pick me up some of that Global Crossing stock; we're all out of toilet paper."
Suburban America has an almost total lack of public-facing office space. What office space there is is generally in grim 'office parks' and designed to be found only by the people who work there every day.
