Thanks for the URLs, y’all.

Is ANYBODY for Wal-mart? It’s difficult for me to comprehend.

Well, I had an article on it in Clackablog, which you can find by Googling it.

It would probably be cheaper than a neutron bomb, if your aim was to completely destroy entrepeneurial retail in downtown Milwaukie.

That _is_ what PDC’s all about, right?

My understanding is that Wal-Mart has purchased the old Goodwill site and plan to erect a store there. While this is possible, and even probably true, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense because the existing infrastructure could not possibly sustain a Wal-Mart. Still, there's already active opposition: http://www.nosellwoodwalmart.com/ It doesn't seem like the best place to me, either.
