In spite of all the claims that Walmart has no intention of building a supercenter up here, I would warn EVERYONE not to let your guard down - they have the nasty little habit of misdirection and outright lies.

One city in Ohio found that out the hard way. Walmart wanted to build a huge building, the city council began working on a size cap, and walmart abandoned the plan. THEN, when the city dropped it's idea of a size cap - thinking walmart was gone - WALMART rushed in and built before the city could do anything.

Want to know just how much space a supercenter would take up here in sturgeon bay? The composite photo on the left is to scale within aprox. 2 feet (meaning if you were to blow it up lifesize, there would only be slight size difference between cars in the lot & cars on the highway)

As you can see, a supercenter is HUGE! It dwarfs all the other so called "Bix Boxes" in both building size AND overall size - coming close to the size of cherry point mall!

McIntosh claims no plans for supercenter

In the Door County Advocate, Our excellent and totally honest (COUGH bullshit CUOGH) Mayor Dennis McIntosh Claimed that neither the land sounth of town had been annexed, nor that he has had any contact with Walmart outside of meeting with the local WM manager.

He held a press conference about it - yet no-one against walmart was allowed to attend (Christie Weber was refused, and I've heard of a couple others who tried to attend to report it on various news sites/blogs were turned away.

What do I say? DO NOT EXPECT HONESTY FROM MCINTOSH! I have known him since he was Capt. of the police dept, and I can tell you that he is far from honest. Others Who know him will tell you the same. A man with the initials of CK tried to speak to him, and Mayor McIntosh noticed CK and immediately turned and hurried away - as if he were afraid of answering questions. CK is only one of many who have noticed what could be called "Suspicious behavior" by our mayor.

HE IS HIDING SOMETHING.

Post subject: We're Back Online!

The
forum crashed. We've recovered. Walmart saw the crash as an opportunity
to take Walmartsucks.com. They've filed a dispute. This site may end up in the hands of Walmart shortly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know, I'm getting sick and tired of walmart pulling f***ing dirty tricks to get their way! I mean, if they can't get the forum by suing, then arrange a little accident and swoop in to try and take it while it's down from a hack!


In other news, CONCERNING DONALD TRUMP:
EXCERPT FROM http://donaldtrump.trumpuniversity.com/default.asp?item=154195

The Trump Brand

I know that the "Trump" name is a powerful one. Nearly every day I'm approached by one company or another wanting me to put that name on some product or service. They know that with the Trump stamp of approval comes immediate recognition and an expectation of quality and success.
I've worked hard to make sure the Trump name is found only on buildings of the highest caliber and products of the finest quality. I won't even consider giving my
approval to anything unless I know it's the top of the line because when people
see or hear "Trump," they expect the best. That's just basic marketing and good
business.

Yet on the very first episode of this season's "Apprentice", Trump actually had them selling memberships to SAM'S CLUB!!!!!!!!

Continuing the aerial theme, Trump assigned them the task of selling
Sam's Club Plus memberships with the aid of the Goodyear blimp.

Synergy had outsold Gold Rush 43 memberships to 40.

WTF????? I guess he's just like the majority of other rich p***s - stuff his pockets no matter what, and to h*** with the environment or people's lives.

VIVA LA RESISTANCE! (lol)

WELL...... I missed the meeting. (D'OH!) Fortunately, Several people I know went to it. From the initial report this morning, around half the auditorium was filled - including several members of the city council AND members of the county board.

Apparently, one of the council members was made to look like an idiot - the other left at some point not specified. And the county board members seem to be against the "big box" plan by the city. :D

If the tapes turned out, I'll post a transcript of the meeting up here by monday.

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs! (lol)

Door County Fair Enterprise, in addition to the petition, has also been offering FREE yard signs similar to the ones you see out during elections. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! Just traveling down Michigan Street, I counted 12 of them between 12th ave & 4th ave! There is ALSO going to be a meeting at the SB high school on thursday (March 9th) at 7pm. I hope to be allowed to tape it using a micro recorder, as well as get a general count of just how many people don't want the supercenter (I think the auditorium holds something like 300 seats - so it MIGHT be "standing room only")

And Walmart has taken to supplying bloggers with info to post on their blogs in support of walmart. THEY GOT BUSTED, lol! Below is a link to another blogger and his reaction to it (a must read - it'll have you laughing BIG TIME!)
