I drove by it yesterday and wondered about the weird bowling pin shape.

Where in the screenshot does it say “Critical Area”, I can’t find it.
It's on that little red sign, the image is just so compressed it's impossible to read
On the blurry little sign in front of it. I didn't take a photo, just noted the address and looked it up on Google Maps, so it's illegible here, but you can read it if you pull up the address and zoom.
The little red sign on the fence says "Critical Area - Keep Out". It's not very clear in the screenshot, but you can see it on streetview; the coordinates are 35.033706, -81.925449 ; it's labelled "US Government - FAA building".
