New stores? Not so fast…
August 3, 2008
Looks like plans to put stores in Wasilla, AK and Manhattan (?) aren’t sitting all that well. There’s typical noise from the AK town about noise, congestion, and such, but the main beef seems to be about lack of honest information.
Interesting post here about the value of a big-box store on the “UWS” vs. the push for more public transportation and alternatives to cars. How is a Manhattanite gonna get a gross of TP home on a Vespa?
Over on the other side of the country, the proposed Costco on the Upper West Side of Manhattan has Mayor Bloomberg’s OK. Others are crying foul about risks to local grocery stores.
The new store underway in Peterborough, Ontario has received over 1,000 job applications.
