In Reply to: WAL-MART closing stores posted by jm. on January 15, 2016 at 18:54:09:

They put a new store here in '95, they destroyed a complete farm, the house, barns, silo and one nice field adjacent. The town restricted them to not making it a super center then. 10 years later its back on the table, they want another 70 acres about 200' from the western portion of of 20 acre pond we own. They proposed a super center there, and said we need to build this to serve you better. In the existing store the stock on the shelves was less than ample to make people buy into this, so you can easily see what they do. Make the store look bad, then push to build another one. This would abound the little league field via its parking lot. Great and given the things that go on in these parking lots, interstate truckers parking, street thugs from the nearby city that are bused in, yeah, thats what you want around your kids at the little league field. My long time friend farmed some hidden/oddball fields in there too. The town initially made a mistake with its decision way back when, because you knew they were coming back. The resistance for the new site just down the road was enough to make them retro-fit the existing Walmart. That was always an issue, closure and new abandoned buildings. We already had one grocery store, it was built when I was a kid, another field destroyed, but at least we got almost 30 years out of the store. Now this corridor is bustling, that building was converted to a car dealership. Funny how now I can remember before all of this, nothing but farm land, and you had to go a lot further to get to any retail stores, all of those were small business's even the grocery stores, can still smell those grocery stores too, things sure were different.
