[Winona Online Democracy] These posts reminded me of a recent trip to Albert Lea. I happened to walk through a mall that had had a Wal-Mart as an anchor store. The Wal-Mart was closed and there were a few local merchants and one retail chain (Jo-Ann Fabrics) trying to make it there. The whole mall was run down and really smoke-filled from a restuarant. It was very sad. I don't know if it was due to a new super Wal-Mart built elsewhere in town or just the economic depression in that area, but it certainly wasn't evidence of all the promises we seem to be hearing about what Wal-Mart can bring!!!
