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
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".
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.
