I don't really know never been to Walmart!

All I know what I hear from Paul Harvey how congenial the staff often he reports on how one of the Walmart people gone beyond the mart as an employee!

All I know Moscow on the Hudson won't allow Walmart on the island!

What destoryed the neighborhood was shopping malls that started in the late 50's

There is something called

Regional Government and Land Control it all started with the NWO who got into each city and had city planners and those lovely little towns that was quaint was destoryed how they had redesigned the parking and meters made it dificult for community Sat days visits and the Malls were so huge to be congenial except for the teens who liked it they could drop out of sight and not be bothered!

What I had a dream about was the way food tasted before the 1970's

these Kerry type invaded middle America and hit our dinner with pre made prep food all.

Years ago there was always a whole Roast turkey, beef, and ham. Home made home fries mash, Fr fries, bake goods, deserts etc.

When you had breakfast there was no hankering afterwards for something because our foods at that time were not hightly processed.

I was thinking of Stouffers as one of many good eateries, they had great veg dishes like augratin potatos, Fried zucini, Okra, the meats were always tasty etc

Care to share your lost taste bud?

And now PBS has a John Kerry, knee pad wearing, bend over and take it puff piece on..

I am one of the fortunate ones that lives in a market (Cincinnati) that will show the Sinclair Broadcasting documentary of JFK's real story.

Resty, some quaint little towns might have been destroyed by Wal Mart, but mine is not. Wal Mart built their store in a field that used to be a dairy farm. Soon, other stores were cropping up around them ie a dry cleaners, donut shop and dollar store.

Some downtown merchants, who had been price gouging for years because THEY were the only place to shop, did go out of business. The ones who did not, offered services that Wal Mart could not provide, like delivery and personal services.

And my downtown is gearing up to be the cultural, musical, historical and antique suppliers of the area.

Ain't business competition great?

Resty, people in small towns talk to each other anywhere they happen to meet. We do not need a quaint small town square to converse with each other, really. We actually talk while shopping. LOL

On my local radio talk show today, there was an ad that said "while I was talking to my friend in Wal Mart, I told her about a new subdivision that was so nice".

Yeah, that is so true - it's really the so-called city planners who played such a large role too. And, the malls which started a long time ago... Growing up in a city where there were no malls or big box stores, prices were reasonable and the produce/meat/seafood fresh, everyone knew each other by name and could walk places, people took care of their elderly neighbors, and so on, my opinion is that box-less neighborhoods function pretty well. Whenever I lived in small towns, I made sure they were box-less. If people want to work and shop there like obviously millions do, that is great for them, but I personally don't.
