Urban Walmarts coming to a city near you...

I'm hoping this means healthy, affordable produce for low income neighborhoods that currently rely on corner stores full of processed foods for their groceries.

"As part of its new "urban strategy," the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., is looking to open two dozen stores in the Bay Area... Wal-Mart's move reflects an "enormous paradigm shift" among consumers, away, in this economy, "from what they want to have, to what they have to have." Top of the list is food - reasonably priced, fresh and within walking distance."
