An interesting article only tangentially related to Wal-Mart:
The reality seems to be that even if everyone buys nine-packs of toilet paper at Wal-Mart, gets fancy clothes at a department store owned by the May Co., and saves money in Bank of America, they still live quite different lives in different parts of the country.The article also uses the stupid red-state / blue-state divide; it's stupid because I live in a red state (Virginia voted red 54 to 45), but in a city (Alexandria) that voted blue 67-33. The nearest two Wal-Marts are also in a "blue" county...
Non of this has absolutely anything to do with retail identity in the local region.
