You must live in a very small town. I've got Wally World, Target, Fred Meyer, Sears, etc., all within easy driving distance.
I bet it is union agitators....the California unions are going to picket the openings of the Oakland and Palmdale Walmart Supercenters at the end of the month.
Naw, I live in the middle of nowhere. The nearest supercenter is around 25 miles away but I usually go to another one which is 35 miles in the other direction as it is also close to where my Father is in a nursing home and I can make two visits in one trip.
