Wal-Mart: Opening Soon?

I've read that the Wal-Mart in Quinsigamond Village was supposed to open sometime in March, and I've even heard the date of March 17, 20X thrown around, but having driven by the area, it looks more like it'll be April 20X at this point.

Some folks will remember the amount of opposition the proposed Wal-Mart received-- Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price , Worcester Activist.

But the funniest post has to be by Mark who spent 49-hours in a Wal-Mart.

I guess when we see the Wal-Mart signage go up, we'll know the opening is right around the corner or maybe the City Councilors will have to meet to make sure the signage isn't too large? Hmmmmm.

Rosary Trial: What a waste of Money

In the "Rosary" case it's amazing that our federal government would even waste our money to try this case, but the hearing did take place and the defendants were fined $250.00.

Now, I don't know about you, but don't you think it cost more than $250.00 for the police officers that had to drive to the Federal Court House to arrest them, the paper work and electricity used to prepare the court documents and the "time" it cost Judge Timothy S. Hillma to preside over the case? I'm not advocating for charging the defendants more money, I'm just pointing out the waste of money that it was to even try this case. The folks were simply...praying.
