Maybe Repukes will take down Wally World |

Here's a letter I got after a brief article I wrote about a new upscale Wal-Mart in Plano, Tex. If this ain't a Republican, I'll eat my hat.
This HIGH END STORE is the kind of store that we need in the Porter Ranch area of Northridge, CA 91326. It is on Rinaldi St. in Northridge.
Instead, you have a low down store that attracts all the lowest income people and draws them into a high income upscale neighborhood. It is horrible!!!
The neighbors do not like that aspect of your store. The aisles are crowded and dirty, the people are rude and impolite. It makes us not want to shop there.
Many of my friends now refuse to shop there because it is drawing all of the riff-raff into the store.
People who are earning $250,000.00 a year and up, do not want to shop with people who are on welfare! Sorry, but those are the facts of life. Just thought you might want to know.
A former Wal-Mart shopper.
Writing to me as if I were Wal-Mart is a tip-off that this person isn't smart enough to be allowed to vote.

Look buddy, you live in Northridge. That means you are bordered on one side by Canoga Park, on another side by Van Nuys. The "riff-raff" as you call them are the primary occupants of the San Fernando Valley in which you chose to live. If you don't like it, pack your shit and move out to Simi Valley, a nice, comfortable, predominantly white suburb with a reputation for not being overly friendly to "riff-raff."
The likely reason that you have a Wal-Mart near you is because the only other space big enough for a Wal-Mart in that area is occupied by the two malls that your kids waste their lives away at after school.
(This comes from someone who lived for several years in nearby Woodland Hills).

2. I don't care who shops in the stores |
|
it isn't that the stores are full of "riff raff" it's that the stores themselves are filthy, smelly, and the aisles are damn near impassable because of all the shit stacked in them. I used to go in there to buy hunting and fishing licenses because there was no alternative around here. Thak god that's changed. Now I don't go there at all (wife buys cat food there though).

4. Can I guess by your name you live in Tulare, CA? |
|
If so, most of my family hails from there, and currently lives in Visalia (with a few folks scattered down around Bakersfield).

6. Spent an awful lot of my youth there |
|
I was born in Paso Robles and farmed out to grandparents in TN when both parents entered the service in WWII. Moved back to Tulare Co. at age 10 and graduated from HS there. I still liev in the valley but further north.
