Don't know if this has alredy been posted, but Sunday at 6pm WILL-TV will
broadcast "Store Wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town."
I haven't seen it, but here's the program description:
"Store Wars follows the one-year conflict that polarizes Ashland, Va.,
population 7,200 when Wal-Mart decides it wants to build a megastore on the
edge of town. The enusing debate pits neighbor against neighbor in a battle
as protracted and bitter as those fought in the Old West between ranchers
and farmers over land-use issues. The struggle between conflicting versions
of the American dream has on one side those who want to preserve their
seemingly idyllic small-town way of life versus those who believe in the
positive economic benefits Wal-Mart promises."
