Judging by the symbol above the door, Greendale Community College has opened a satellite campus in our neighborhood. Or perhaps it's the Asterisk Luxury* Apartments.
I bet no one here is old enough to know this but me, at least not at first-hand, but on "Ben Casey", the exceedingly popular doctor drama of the early 60s, the opening sequence showed a vertical row of symbols being chalked on a blackboard, while Sam Jaffe's most High-Lama-esque voice slowly intoned their meanings. "Man... Woman... Birth... Death... Infinity". Your new neighbors have "Birth" over their entrance. College of Midwifery, maybe? Home for Wayward Girls?

Is it new construction, or a rehab?

Old building, new paint job. Because somebody saw that symbol and thought, "This should be brown."

I saw that first hand too. Can't remember the symbol for death 'though. [looks] Ah. A + sign. Or a crucifix?
My guess is the 'phone co. put that on the bldg.
It's a Wal-Mart.
or perhaps Kurt Vonnegut lived there?
Good one, Zombie.
And Scott?
