Our local WalMart actually posted a letter that said their fabric department would not be closing. We have only the WalMart plus two quilt shops within 90 miles of here. And with the quilt shops asking $8+ a yd for their fabric, it makes it really hard to buy decent fabric at a decent price.
The town is working hard to get a Super WalMart in here. Supposedly they will break ground in January. I have mixed thoughts about that. It would be nice to give the local grocery stores some competition as they seem very high to me (Albertsons and Stater Brothers only). But since Mervyns closed, we have no other place to buy clothes except a small K-Mart.
I hope they have a gas station as we are still paying $2.19 a gallon. :evil:
