John,
Yes, I know what you are referring to and I will bet that there is a
Wal-Mart near by today. I guess Wal-Mart is the new "small town"
America. No, make that simply America. Just think, today's kids will
grow up think that Wal-Mart is where it is all happening. I wonder if
Wal-Mart will be around when they are our age? Will they think back
nostalgically about their childhood days spent at Wal-Mart?
Remember when Sears Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward and A&P were big
conglomerates? I guess Sears (without Roebuck!) still qualifies.
