There are plans in the works for a Wal-Mart store (or as grandpa calls it: Walmarts) at 3636 North Broadway; about 4 blocks from our beloved Wrigley Field. The word on the street is that this will be a "Wal-Mart Express" which is basically a smaller version of their typical big A-- stores in the suburbs. From my limited research, these things basically sound like Walgreens (groceries, office supplies, a pharmacy). And, as luck would have it, there's already a Walgreens two doors away.
There goes the neighborhood.
