This thread pertains to Alden, not Lancaster. Stick to the point. Secondly, Wal-Mart once again seeks a rezone, not caring one bit about environmental impacts, an impact to the aquifer that is used for drinking water and/or the quality of life to the residents that will be affected in Wal-Mart's back yard.Most of us think about that before we buy our homes. Apparently the people with WalMarts being built in their backyards thought that the large vacant lot on Transit Road (or wherever) was a nature preserve.
As for Clarence....umm...there is a WalMart in Clarence, already. You should take a ride down there some day.
And then, the project sponsor's attorney threatens that Wal-Mart would pursue a lawsuit should they not get the rezone approval. So much for fair competition and "if you don’t want us we won't come."
Good pickup on the Clarence location. If you look in the phone directory, the 5033 Transit location is listed as being both both Clarence and Williamsville. You know quite well that I meant in a different part of town where a rezone and all kinds of special use permits and variances would be required.

Are you serious? That example bears no reply.Never once considering how Wal-Mart has allowed those of minum means to provide new products for their families. Without the need of going to the Salvation Army and getting hand-me-downs or second hand toys.
Regardless, the initial posting was about an individual besmirching another town. And, we all can't have Rising's omniscience on where to build our homes and to be so naive to trust town officials, comprehensive plans and zoning codes.
According to Rising and his ilk, “We should have known better.” Hey, that’s what Supervisor Giza and his minions tell us.
