During the first Atlas, I had Nighthawks nesting on the roof of Wheaton Plaza -- you could go into Hecht's on a summer evening and hear them peenting. Now both the nighthawks and Hecht's are gone and it is not Wheaton Plaza anymore (excep to those who live in the area) but a supposedly upscale name -- "Westfield Shoppington Wheaton." Yeah.
