The sad part of all of this is what I call "The Wal Mart" mentality. Most
small towns in downstate Illinois that clamoured for a Wal Mart (and gave
huge tax incentives) immediately lost numerous small retailers. Now, If
Wally world doesn't carried, you aren't going to find it. Ignore price.
Quality is and should be the only guage.
