Just last week I was in the very nice and large fabric department in my WalMart. My friend, who used to work there asked the (very nice, friendly always there) employee when the remodel was to take place. She said it was slated for June/July of this year and so, as my heart pounded, I asked if there was talk of doing away with the fabric department. The employee said, "I don't know, I've heard both stories".
UH. I sure hope not.
