How many miles away is the one that already exists south of this site at Moorland & National? Five? (maybe?) Why can't we attract a different business. Unfortunately, Corporate America and their greed are already getting away with paying us "Walmart" wages but I think a different type of shopping experience would do us all a little good;   more ›
