Gackle folks do a ot of shopping in Jamestown. There is a new super Walmart opening in June and I imagine its lure will intoxicating for some. I think we need to do some similar calculating so people really understand that they might not be saving money and in the long run are hurting the local economy. And its only going to get more costly. I liked this post and the Bismarck Tribune article link. Gackle folks do a ot of shopping in Jamestown.

I know we are not driving as much as we did last year. The elderly in the small communities are the ones that suffer as they don't drive - especially out of town. Good Luck!
