I think this idea is HORRID! I’m afraid we’d lose our fabric store, which is the only one anywhere near here. There’s already enough traffic there, I don’t want a WalMart!

Decatur-ites- please do everything possible to protest a WM so close to the nice neighborhoods near S. Plaza. If you want to drive down the values of Decatur, no better way than to opt for WM. If you doubt this, drive over to the WM in Tucker and sit in the parking lot for about 30-40 minutes. Note of the type of people these stores attract. Be careful not to inadvertently take someone’s parking space…they’ll curse you out while holding their three year old…better yet, stroll into the store (watch out for all the used diapers, chicken bones and auto oil cans littering the parking lot, …if you carry a purse, hang onto it…(lock your car doors…)…go inside…ahhh…listen to the sounds of low prices: children wailing in every nook and cranny of the store as parents hunt for “roll backs…” Why so much noise? These “parents” don’t believe in babysitters, naps or discipline.. hours….what a pleasant shopping experience. Read the crime stats for Tucker since WM opened its doors….trust me this is not something you want. Peace Be With YOU.

I find it depressing that in the many comments to this story no one has raised the objection to how Wal-Mart treats its employees. WM is known to underpay employees relative to its competition, crush unions, and has just escaped having to face a class-action lawsuit brought by its women employees by the Supreme Court. I never shop Wal-Mart because they are like a blight on our economy! They lower everyone’s standard of living so their share holders can benefit. I’m surprised the Decatur community has not protested WM moving in for just that reason.

Not in the neighborhood, but they’re building a Chipotle over by Northlake Mall where the Pizza Hut was.
