Perhaps I am in the minority, but I refuse to shop in any establishment that clearly cares less about its context and the surrounding neighborhood. I'm sure my lost dollars won't cause WalMart to go out of business, but why not TRY to lure me in and others like me by showing a little respect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-9993225239284347422011-10-29T17:17:02.022-04:002011-10-29T17:17:02.022-04:00Be pissed at the Chevy dealership.

I am not a huge fan of Walmart - but time and time again developers are crucified for building or changing something that once was historic, but is now so dilapidated and un-salvageable that it can't be saved. Why weren't the HPRB and other historic preservationist protesting and screaming and crying when the Chevy dealership destroyed the car barn in the first place? Don't be mad at the reinvention - be mad at neglect.Ace in DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-43107696244027709902011-10-28T20:06:52.937-04:002011-10-28T20:06:52.937-04:00Walmart can afford to do better than that.

If it wants to be a good neighbor, Walmart could produce some nice architecture, not something that belongs on Rockville Pike. Maybe keep the "historic" walls if you can't build something better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
