FYI, PLENTY of reason's not to like Wal Mart. Would like to be able to avoid them more myself. But in fairness they do allot in this area. Art's Center's, Museum's (look up Chrystal Bridges), LOTS of MUP they are largely paying for in the area, and much more. Hardly the case everywhere, but they (Wal Mart, Walton Family< and some high ranking people) do deserve credit for these things here. Why I have almost a dozen bike shops to visit.
