From the Walton (I’m guessing Florida) Tribune:

Here in Monroe, where buying anything to feed pop culture addictions is difficult, both of the book stores dotting downtown closed. Broad Street Books supplied me with more than a few used books at cheap prices, while the Man in the Moon Bookstore was an excellent place to get a few kids books.

Yet, all too often, when I walked in to browse or just shoot the breeze with the owners, I was the only customer in the store. And while I buy more books than is probably healthy, I can’t support any business all on my own.

So, once again, despite all the pleas to buy local and support downtown businesses, I’m forced to shop at Wal-Mart if I want to buy a book, Blu-ray or CD because, guess what? No one downtown sells those things.

Just another friendly reminder: People who shop at Walmart aren’t always happy about it.
