You may recall I might have remarked about some land in the Sandfly area of town that the residents in the area fought to prevent from being developed. At first, Target wanted the land but backed out of the land after residents took them to court. After that, Wal-Mart decided it would build a supercenter at the same property. Again, the residents went to court but they were fighting Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart had the resources to fight the residents back and fought until the residents could no longer fight the fight of their choice.

Well, this week, the Wal-Mart in Sandfly opened. I went there this morning to buy my father a new spark plug for the lawn mower. I must say the exterior of the store is quite aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It fits in nicely with the enviroment, instead of screaming "I'M A WAL-MART! SHOP AT ME!" The inside of the it, however, looks like a Super Wal-Mart. It wasn't bad looking at all. It was nice and clean, which was a big bonus. It was nothing like the Chatham Plaza HellMart is replaced. I just hope it won't ever become dirty like the HellMart was. HellMart was a nasty Wal-Mart and I would not be surprised if Sam Walton would be turning in his grave if he knew the condition of that Wal-Mart.

And here is an audio post for those interested in my voice.
