Virginia Beach October landscape with substation.

This was an exemplar of "what it looks like to have a large vacant lot in the 'old part' of Virginia Beach."

In Virginia Beach, Virginia, on October 10th, 2023, was a view toward Dominion Energy's Atlantic Substation from the north side of Virginia Beach Boulevard (U.S. 58 Business Spur), east of Arctic Avenue.

Per Google Streetview, the foreground expanse was formerly occupied by an Exxon station. Per my review of Google Earth historical satellite imagery, it was demolished sometime between November 2021 and April 2023.
