WalMart in LA's Chinatown
I am surprised some local community groups kept on fighting the WalMart in LA's Chinatown, even after it had opened. Looks like Walmart is going to stay in LA's Chinatown for a while.
My 2 cents, this was more about local politics, than about the residents. Most residents are very happy to have lower prices and higher quality goods. Walmart is not forcing local residents to use their store. In the Rowland Heights area we have a huge Walmart, and lots of Chinese stores in the area. This way residents get the best of both worlds, and have a choice on where they want to shop.
On a personal note, when I go into the Rowland Heights Walmart, I often seem to get a headache. I am not sure if it's the lighting, the video at checkout, or the store feels claustrophobic to me. I don't have this problem in target.
