Does anyone know the status of The Dalles getting a Super Wal-Mart? I hope it is still a go.

From what I understand, this is the reason for the round abouts they have planned for the west end of town. Those will be a nightmare for bus drivers who are trying to safely get the children to and from school. Also, the reason for the city taking property from commercial property owners on w second street. Some of these people are retired individuals who are living on the income they make from these properties and the offer given for these properties is a joke. They should at least be offered an amount that would justify giving up their income that is stustaining their independant living abilities. Don't mistake me, I am all for Walmart Superstore but not if getting it is going to destroy our neighbors ability to be independant in retirement.

for stacey, do not be stupid. the property was bought out of receivership from northwest aluminum who is now bankrupt. as far as traffic goes, there is no houses at all over there it is all commercial property, no houses no schools, no school bus, no children. If you live in portland and not the dalles shut up.
