Having grown up and then returning to Idylwood, the Walmart is a welcome change from the trashy hotels, check cashing places and that dump of an apartment complex (Maxwell Rd). If anything should be protested by the neighborhood it should be the apartments that back up to Sylvan Rd. which have been a source of drunken shooting, robberies in the neighborhood, and who knows what else over decades. These apartments have been an eyesore since they where built 30+ years ago, yet the city never does anything to improve or remove places like this - The people of Idylwood would be better served focusing their attention on removing the trash and be happy that Walmart is coming in and cleaning up the mess Oshaman's left when they went belly up. The wayside/I-45 area could become a gem of an area beyond Idylwood with a little care and pride from the people who live and work around it.
