Subject: RE: BS: Supermarkets destroying Communities
I'm no marketing genius, but I'll take a stab. Considering that I've seen all types of cars from beat-up hoopties to brand new Escalades in the Wal-Mart parking lot, I'm going to guess their target market is anyone who wants to buy all their stuff in one place and spend less money on it. That's pretty broad. I see all kinds of people when I go there, including people who could easily afford to shop somewhere else but choose not to. And believe me, in the Nashville/Franklin/Brentwood/Murfreesboro quadrangle, there is absolutely no shortage of places to shop. (At one time, Murfreesboro, TN had the largest Wal-Mart Superstore in the country. That's probably changed since then.)

Diana, I am given to understand that the shaving fashion began in the 1920s with the flapper girls, since they were pretty much the first women to show their bare legs and arms (and armpits) in public. I could be wrong about that.

As far as the election is concerned, I imagine the undecided could go either way.

(Thanks Martin.) :-)
