Was just at the little strip mall at the corner of 13 Mile and Woodward today. Yes,
it has seen better days. It used to be fully occupied with a store I remember as
JCPenney's anchoring it. Parking used to be a bear. Now it is easy to find a spot.
It's not in a death spiral yet and its parking lot is full for one weekend in August
at least. I think as far as shopping it has been superceded by the new shopping
area somewhat to the north and east that is right by the new Birmingham train
station.
