Northcross WalMart

Uck Uck Uck

WalMart is trying to come to our neighborhood - we just got this fancy shmancy flyer inthe mail today which is absolutely ridiculous. I can only hope that this means they are actually encountering problems, and realizing how badly the neighborhood DOES NOT WANT WALMART. My main objection, personally, is that the location they are proposing is no-where near a highway, which means the semis are running up and down the local roads 24 hrs a day/7 days a week. Additionally, there have been studies which prove that crime goes up when WalMart goes in, and that cities end up having to increase their police forces to accomodate the increased crime. If people want to shop at WalMart, that is your own choice, but I really hope that everyone reading this will join in the boycott of WalMart until they are no longer a part of the Northcross Redevelopment. Lincoln Properties needs to look elsewhere for tenants, because we certainly don't want what they are offering.
