I'm chiming in as a Walmart hater with impeccable grammar.

Count me in.

Well... they do cater to a certain segment of the population.

Does that mean the "certain segment" is in abundant supply in the Heights area?

[LTAWACS]

Im not sure... but I think there is enough of this certain segment for them to build one there.

[SilverJK]

My brain works to fast to slow down and worry about grammar. I'm sure I could find unnecessary' places to use apos'trophes to qualify my Walmart shopping abilities. If being a grammar nazi is your "thing" that you're about thats fine, but they're (hater haters with bad grammar) still entitled to their opinions on if the walmart should go there.

[LTAWACS]

wye kaint wee awl just git 'long?

[Marksmu]

some people just want to say something and dont care about grammar or spelling some people hate capitalizing words and some people hate punctuation while still others despise run on sentences with lots of mspelled wrds everywhre but me personally I dont care about any of those things as long as a walmart gets built and I can sit under the shade of beautiful brand new 2-3 caliper inch tree and bask in the glorious odors of taco cabana while I enjoy me some cheap queso

[JJxvi]

amen

[samagon]

Looks like punctuation is also a problem for Walmart shoppers.

Ending sentences with prepositions is also something you will have to put up with.

Wait, ending sentences with prepositions is something up with which you will have to put.

Good luck with that... if they haven't learned it before they dropped out of school... then they will never learn it.

So you live in Sugar Land?

here's the tree mitigation plan. it's on page 5 or 6. http://rudh.org/archives/341

The one tree on Yale closest to the bridge that was supposed to be saved was also bulldozed.

[JJxvi]

Is it just me or do Leonard and s3mh often show up at the same time?

Oh, the tree that was going to get knocked down when you finally convince the City to replace the Bridge of Death? Sorry to hear that.

If it's any consolation, there is someone available to help with mitigation...

Granted, he is a shrubber, not an arborist, but beggars can't be choosers, you know.

Yes, and I've also noticed that you never see both of them in the same photograph.

Also, you'll never see neither one of them eat. Ever.

I had to drive up to crosstimbers walmart yesterday to track down a battery operated fan (you wouldn't believe how hard these are to find). My only time available to drive that way was ~6PM. Yale St Walmart would have been so convenient. (for my annual walmart trip)

Could you not order this fan online?

[barracuda]

^ Might be difficult; Amazon only shows 10,224 results for 'battery fan'.

[samagon]

That and it's such a pain to pay shipping costs and then have to keep track of the costs and pay sales tax on it. Id rather just go to walmart and buy the fan.

[SilverJK]

not if I wanted to have it Friday night... last minute decision to go camping... but I'm glad that because I shopped at Walmart you just assume I'm too dumb to order something online instead of the more logical thought that I needed it quickly.

Shipping costs for 30 minute delivery could be astronomical, unless you're ordering a pizza or Chinese. You probably made the wise decision.

It does not have to be difficult. I'm sure it has a model number somewhere.

Just FYI - The tree plan for the Walmart has been changed quite a bit. There will be no street trees except for four 1.5-inch trees at Yale and the feeder - probably crepe myrtles. No trees at all on Yale or Koehler. Fewer trees on the Heights esplanade. They are mitigating all the caliper inches removed except for 6 inches (the four crepes) within the parking lots (and not on the edge to shade the sidewalks).

And we're paying for this via the 380. We're paying to remove $200K to $300K worth of live oaks and replace them with Walmart parking lot trees.

[RedScare]

Actually, it sounds like we are saving money by not planting the trees. Doing nothing generally doesn't cost anything. At least, that's been my experience.

This is why I don't go to walmart.

How to Celebrate Arbor Day

On the last Friday in April, go to Walmart and get you some trees, start digging.

[Leonard]

Redscare, we're going to pay for the parking lot trees. And for them bulldozing $200 - $300K worth of public trees.

fwki - April is a terrible month to plant trees in Houston. Do it in November.

[RedScare]

Well, great then. More shade trees. What's everyone complaining about? I thought we liked trees?
