Unedited story idea from a reader:
hello. my name is barbara mitchell and i think it would be interesting to find out what the impact would be to our economy if (when -- ed.) a wal-mart opens in austin. i feel our community is looking at it purely as consumers. i have read a few different articles and they all indicate wal-mart has a drastic affect on the decline of small businesses in the communities they enter. i don't think our community realizes the overall effect that will have on each member. just an idea for a story line many people in town would be interested in. thanks for your time.
