re: #455 allegro

See, there’s another thing… with the elimination of small businesses we have to drive distances for stuff that used to be close by. It blows.

It’s a big wide wonderful world we live in… not everyone can or ever could drive just a short distance for whatever they wanted. The reverse of what you are saying is true too… with the addition of Walmart type stores, the distances someone has to drive to get to that Walmart is offset by the fact that now they can find what they are looking for in one place… normally the distance they had to go to get just ONE sort of item.
