Another town, another regular Wal-Mart closing to become a Supercenter.
People in the crowd asked Williams if the city has concerns about the impact Wal-Mart will have on downtown businesses. Williams said the city has already lost business to the big name stores in Carbondale, starting with JCPenney's moving to Carbondale in the 1970's."The city of Murphysboro has already been decimated," he said. "I can't blame that all on Wal-Mart. It's the people who have walked away from those businesses."
