    Just the image of Walmart on Union Square makes me shudder. We should not make that happen. I think this retail zoning could be an ideal solution for this neighbourhood. Tired of seeing small stores replaced by chain drugstores and bank branches. By the way Fishes Eddy now has "Chase not coming soon sale""Not going out of business sale". I just went in and bought some mug cups to show my support:)
