As a Northside resident, I live very closely to the
Kohl's on N. Sherman.  That store was newly built
about 1.5 years ago and was a large factor in getting
the entire Sherman Plaza mall revitalized.  The new
Kohls sits right across from apartments whose
residents may not have access to a car and serves as
an invaluable convenience for them.  I took great
interest that none of the Kohl's in "upscale" areas of
town were being closed - just those that seem to be in
areas labelled "lower-income" or "working-class".  

Besides Copp's stance on non-union labor, what does
this say about them that they are essentially poking a
finger in the eye of north and east siders?  The
message seems to be that we, collectively, don't
create enough profit for them.  Hope you can get to
our great store on Hwy 30 though...

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that we have any
recourse via a city commission to question these
closings.  Ah, capitalism....
