Wal-Mart vs. community, this time, right here in
League CityDispleasure began a week ago, when a large sign announcing the future site of a Wal-Mart SuperCenter went up on the corner of the Interstate 45 feeder road and FM 646.
I just don't think I can muster much sympathy for the Smiths' plight. I'm sure anyone that would buy a 3,800 S.F. house at Victory Lakes are the kind of folks that don't want to be bothered with the chattel coming and going from the Wal-Mart, but they really don't have much control with what happens to the real estate outside of their gated community.
Since then, the Smiths have been contemplating moving.
Don't let the city limits hit ya where the good lord split ya.
“We’re not against Wal-Mart,” Richard Smith said. “We’re against a Wal-Mart in a residential area.”
Why don't they say what they
really mean: "We're against Wal-Mart
clientele in
our neighborhood."
