Same here in rural SC. I drove into Aiken the other day and you’d never know about COVID-19 (except for the few folks wearing masks) and the riots. No stores boarded up or closing early.
It’s really great living in a small town.
Glad my family and I had our Chicago experience in 2000: Cubs, Taste of Chicago, Billy Goat Tavern, Sears Tower, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science & Industry.
Begs? Has she taken a KNEE to acknowledge Walmart deserves an apology for the devastation it incurred? That Lemur can KMA.
FWIW, last weekend saw 27 people killed and 92 others shot and wounded in Chicago.......Sooner or later they have to run out of thugs.
“She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago.”
why? just so the rebuilt stores can be abandoned by the police again and looted and burned down again?
Theyve been closing ours early once this looting started. Close at 5 pm sharp.
Corporate decision, nothing to do with Texas. What about HEB?
That was my thought also. What changed?
Let Chicago return to its original environment. That’s what the commie celebrities are shouting for.

With the Left insisting that the personal is political, we are forced to know more about him than we ever wanted to know.
The big cities need a new, improved Ghetto Walmart: a store with plenty of guards, steel bars around products and projectile resistant glass around clerks. ...and maybe some very durable paint that is a mix of all colors (O.D. green), so messes won’t show as much. ...and parking lots with plenty of barriers, big speed bumps and turns.
If the mayor does not use the stores’ security video footage to identify and arrest the looters, then she is not serious about wanting the stores to stay in the city.
Not that long ago, Chicongo was fighting tooth and nail to keep Wal-Mart out.
Hopefully they all said, “ SEE YA”
She said she pleaded with them to not abandon Chicago.
While at the same time not doing a damn thing about looters.
Good luck with that there mayor.
