I feel ya Garden Knowm...Well said.

sam walton, founder of walmart, now deceased, actually did visit his stores and work back in the day...In fact he was for the american co's selling to him in bulk and making it available to all in one place...
Nothing like the corporate BIGBOXMART monster that now consumes small towns.
Fact...from groundbreaking to Doors Open for business; A walmart is opened in 3-4 months. I was told last fall, by a Walmart building Sub-contractor....that 700 walmarts are being built in a town near you in the next 2 years...
