Reed Braden : →http://gaytheist.wordpress.comWal-Mart apparently adopted its business plan from the Greek Hydra--or possibly Internet pop-up advertisements. As soon as you think it's dead and gone, it comes back in full force and rears its ugly heads once more.
There is a Wal-Mart right next to Clearbrook on 220. If Wal-Mart so badly wants a Supercenter over here it should extend the store it already has within walking distance of the proposed building site.
This is absolutely ridiculous.

Gary Adkins : →http://myspace.com/rkn2metalReed. The walmart that is already on 220 is not owned by them. It is a leased building. I own a route & I have to deliver to that one.This new one will have a better grocery section. So therefore I will sell a lot more plus it ups the value of my route so to others it is a blessing. That route will help take care of my house & get my kids through college.
