That was just my experience. Wally killed off a lot of business in this town.
We all seem to be talking around each other. I cherish the past. The idea of talking to the person who made the food you put on your table, handing them money and a handshake is old fashioned, but my biggest kick lately has been going to orchards to get my apples, the famer's market for produce, a local craft show to buy my basket. Wal-Mart is just not the same.

I remember in my old neighborhood (a northeastern city) a separate store for fruit/vegetables, another one for meats, grocery delivery boys etc. I hear you. Actually the big-box hardware stores (HD, Lowe's) killed off more small business in my neck of the woods. We did have a Woolworth's that closed 8-10 years ago; that place looked straight out of the 50s!
