I like Walmart . . . sure, I could go to local merchants in town, but I'd pay twice as much.

The town where I'm originally from (an hour away from me now) has a Walmart, local merchants, and that's it. No restaurants, nothing . . . it hasn't changed since that Walmart came there 20 years ago!

The local merchants put a stop to every business that trys to come there. Don't know how they do it, but they do. And my hometown hasn't changed at all. It's a dead town.

Change IS GOOD . . . I left there because there was nothing there.

Glimmer of hope: My hometown is in the process of getting a Lowe's . . . which the local lumbar companies are fighting!
