Two Times The Fun
 |
| The draft EIRs for both the North and South Wal-Marts
have been posted to the City of Chico web site. I'm looking forward to seeing one of the most successful corporations in the world come to loggerheads with some of our most vocal neighbors. I think it's ridiculous when people use Wal-Mart as the vessel for all things evil in the world. But I don't care whether they expand and/or add a new location. Chico doesn't need Wal-Mart (1 or 2), but we didn't need a Trader Joe's, Old Navy, or Best Buy either. Most business is not about "need" it's about "want". Since I don't have a dog in this fight I'm considering the entertainment value this issue presents. Mostly I'm just intrigued by the happy little drama that will unfold at city hall. I expect we'll see some ranting and raving, and maybe a couple of legal threats. Good times, good times. |
