What we can do to stop Wal-Mart

First, don't give up. Pressure the developer, Adam Fishman from Fairmount Properties.
He will be in town for lunch on Thursday at a Blacksburg Alliance event at the Inn. It's open to the public at $50 per person. If we had any brave souls willing to ask him some questions about why he hasn't been forthcoming regarding his plans and make it clear that we are a very very tenacious bunch). If we could picket the inn that would be so good!
