Checked out the new neighborhood Walmart grocery store, today.

14. When we lived in the Big City, we had that luxury too,

....and we were proud to boast about never going in a WalMart.

Since we moved to rural America, the choices are:
*Super WalMart,

*a 170 mile round trip drive to a city,

*nothing.

We choose "nothing" as much as possible,
but sometimes it is unavoidable.

WalMart has destroyed small town America.
The only businesses that are still open on Small Town Mainstreet are:

*Rent to Own

*Pawn Shops

*"Antique" "Boutiques" (Junk Stores)

*Beauty Salons

Very sad.

A dollar spent at WalMart (minus the very small percentage paid out in slave wages) leaves town immediately, and goes into the pockets of out-of-town owners & investors.

A Dollar spent at a locally owned business gets spent in town over and over again,
until it hits a WalMart.
