Reading the editorials would make one believe no one in Waxhaw is in favor of the Wal-Mart. I believe those who support the store are actually a silent majority.

It would have been a better commentary if you would have delivered a more unbiased viewpoint. Ignoring the facts as you did just pours more fuel on the fire! Move Walmart a mile north or east or west, and you'd have a good argument.

I agree with you, Waxhaw Rocks! This is definitely not the location for such an obtrusive store! The noise and light pollution alone will kill the ambience of Waxhaw. There are enough Wal-Mart's in close proximity for us to drive if we have to. For those residents who are looking forward to Wal-Mart because they want a closer place for prescriptions because they think CVS is overpriced - what about mail-order prescriptions. You won't have to drive anywhere to pick them up.

Hey idiot. This guy wrote this as an editorial. It's meant to be biased.
