Big-Box Protection Program
Not all Leslieville locals are hell-bent against Wal-Mart. We’d give you their real names, but then we’d have to kill you By Amy Grigg
“I LOVE WAL-MART. It’s bad for the environment and bad for the economy, but it saves me money and I don’t give a crap.”
“I WANT TO SCREAM ‘I love Wal-Mart’ at the top of my lungs, but I never would. My house is flanked by ‘No Big Box’ signs.”
“I DON'T SEE anything wrong with it. With retail so readily available, my property value could go up. It makes the area more appealing.”
“ANYTHING IS BETTER than the big pile of rubble that takes up half of Eastern Avenue. It could be a brothel, it could be a Wal-Mart.”
