Impression of the word "Mervyn's" left on building after store closure in Merced

This is a picture from my hometown. This was at our local mall, called the Merced Mall. For my entire life there had been a Mervyn's department store here. But all Mervyn's stores went out of business in 2008. This picture was taken in 2009, it was shocking to see Mervyn's empty, especially since they kind of acted as anchor for an entire side of the Mall. The impression of the words was left, even after the sign was physically removed from the wall.
