<\/a><\/p>\n

In my childhood, this little strip in front of Richland Mall<\/i> was the first (or first I knew of) location for Ambassador Animal Hospital<\/i>, which later moved down Forest Drive east of Trenholm. Our dog always seemed to know when the car was headed in that direction. She would always act a bit off there, and I vividly recall the one and only time that she snatched a fly from the air and ate it was in the Ambassador lobby.<\/p>\n

Since then the strip has been through a major overhaul, possibly at the same time the old Richland Mall<\/i> went to the enclosed \"Fashion\" incarnation though I could be wrong about that.<\/p>\n

I know that Wild Birds Unlimited<\/i> was there for quite a while, but I never had the need to go in. I noticed the other day that the building was vacant, and a google search reveals that WBU has moved to the Piggly Wiggly<\/i> plaza by Cardinal Newman<\/i>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 6 March 2010<\/b> -- Here's the new location in Forest Park<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 8 June 2010<\/b> -- Looks like some work is being done on the old location:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 22 June 2022<\/b>: Adding map icon and updating tags. Also note that they have moved from Forest Park as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n
