Those minibike things are completely ridiculous btw, although I've only really ridden one on gravel so I didn't get the full experience of going way too fast on pavement on a thing inches from the road

Eduardo Castro Wright, Walmart's Vice Chairman, stated in 2009 that Walmart stood to increase its sales between $80 and $100 billion by reaching its national average market share in urban markets. New York City, as the largest consumer market in the U.S., likely represents the largest portion of this growth strategy.

They got good prices on Wranglers though. And the quality of their goods is way above Kmart. Now that's a store with some garbage.
― smelly's wife (rustic italian flatbread), Thursday, 22 September 2011 01:07 (twelve years ago) link
haha it's all the same garbage, kmart is just marginally more defensible

Saw Sofia Vergara shilling her product that's sold at K-mart (don't remember what it was) on TV last night, kind of felt sad for her.

Chicago kept Wal-Mart out for a long time, and I think we only have one right now, in a poor neighborhood way way out on the edge of town, but they're moving in. One is probably going to occupy the space where Borders used to be, which is 1 block from my apartment - I'll be able to see it from my balcony (balconette). It's going to be a challenge to not shop there, since the other grocery options are a way overpriced, crappy independent grocer and Trader Joe's. If I still live there, I wonder how long I'll hold out.

Oh wow.
On my bus ride to work this morning I was thinking how Presidential Towers are a blight on the westerly skyline. I hate those buildings, and now they have a Wal-Mart in them.

the air in the burbs isn't always great either. every summer now i get so angry every time there's an air quality index warning in the maryland burbs saying i shouldn't take my son outside to play.
― some dude, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
some dude, Maryland has been subject to those air quality index warnings ever since they came into existence. At least for as long as I can remember.
In many, many cases suburban air is worse than the nearby cities. I'll be moving out to Cumberland or something. Peace.

not super, lived in and seen a good part of europe but never been to east asia/africa/south america. mostly just cause I've never had a lot of money to burn, feel like travel is the best thing you can do if you it.
