Bonnie Zinanti in her letter on a new Wal-Mart seemed to indicate what I have been feeling all along about people who are opposed to Wal-Mart's going into their communities: There is an elitist, snobbish attitude out there from people who think they are too good for Wal-Mart, or that somehow a new Wal-Mart store would promote Arkansas rednecks or, heaven forbid, west-siders coming into their areas. The truth is Wal-Mart does more for economic development in a city than a Major League sports franchise.
