Rambling here, but the point is that Walmart does not equal destruction of a city, here at least it functions very well.

What is Cubs?
Do you have another discount store? (Kmart, Target or a similar local store)
Do you have a department store? (Walmart is not a true department store.)
Do you have a variety store?
Do you have stores that sell clothing?
Do you have stores that sell CDs?
I'm sorry, but "Walmart didn't hurt us, we have 2 of them and lots of Krogers!" is in the top 5 of really silly statements I've heard where Walmart is concerned.
