Wallyworld takes one on the chin.
They were trying to build a supercenter near my home. Everyone one opposed this. While Walmart says they have never withdrawn a proposed store due to opposition and say this one was withdrawn due to "enviromental concerns" that is only a facesaving comment on their part.
We beat 'em.

There is an interesting article in Buisness Week on Walmart this week. Not very flattering.
