Posted here Wednesday, April 07, 2004 at 10:21:24 AM     Update on walmart, and the tendency for super retail to replace the reconomy. In this case a hint at successful counter measures. WAL-MART UPDATE....Wal-Mart's plans to open 40 Supercenters in Southern California got off to a slow start yesterday: voters in Inglewood (former home of the Lakers) told them to get lost. By a huge margin they voted down an initiative that would have allowed Wal-Mart to open a "colossal retail and grocery center" without an environmental review or public hearings. Hey, why would anyone object to that? http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/mt/mt-tb.cgi/2579   ********
