Item 1: Save Altadena will host “Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price” tomorrow, Sat. July 21, at the Coffee Gallery Backstage, 2029 N. Lake Ave., 10:15 AM (yes, in the morning). Seating is limited — please call 626-798-6236 to save your spot.
Item 2: Altadena town councilman Brent Musson has some thoughts and questions about Walmart, opposition, and support in an article on his website, “Understanding the ‘Save Altadena’ movement.” Read more here.
Item 3: The mighty Steve Scauzillo at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune contributes some thoughts about Walmart, too. There was a big movement against a Walmart in Rosemead, which went in anyway — and the deleterious effects that supposedly come with Walmart haven’t materialized yet. In fact, Scauzillo thinks Walmart is better than Amazon because it pumps sales taxes into the community. What do you think? Give it a read.
