F Wal*Mart

Wal-Mart gave up their fight to put a store in the neighborhood. They faced fierce community opposition, and I am glad to see them give up. Of course, this whole thing is still Chuck Perry's fault: he promised no big box stores in his development and then went out and courted the devil. I hope he doesn't try the same thing with some other big store. If he does all of the neighborhood signs will have to be changed to No Target, No KMart, No Albertsons, or something of the like. Now something like a Wild Oats might make good sense especially if it were flanked by Mondo Vino II and a nice bar.
