That's a lot of Walt Marts!

Walt-Mart stores in the US. It is said that in the US every person lives 30 miles or less away from a Walt Mart. Looking at the maps, it looks like that is true.

Um, it's Wal-Mart, not Walt-Mart.

And... so?

There are lots of Wal(t)-Marts in the US? Really?

Next you'll tell me that coffee has caffiene. Wait, what? Why? IF I WANTED DECAF I WOULD HAVE SAID THAT! Hang on, I think I have to fire my assistant.

Yeah, there's at least 4 Wal-Marts in Peoria, IL and 1 in Grinnell, IA that aren't listed. Let alone any of the others within 50 miles of each town.

I wonder if every person lives 30 miles or less of away from a job.

No, no, no! There is a shockingly even distribution, nation-wide, of men (and in some cases women) named "Walt Mart".

This is their story.

When you go to flag a post, there's no "fantastically bad" option. So I settled for "offensive content." I am personally offended by this post's shittiness.

I know at least one place where the hypothesis is wrong. I lived in Saranac Lake, NY last year. There are three Wal-mart's within driving distance, but they are each over 30 miles away. Attempts by Wal-mart to build in Saranac Lake last year were thwarted by the village council.

There's a floating Wal-Mart off the coast of Florida near St Petersburg!

talk about missing the obvious ...

What is this Walt-Marts everyone is talking about?

I'd be pretty pleased if the Wal-Mart corp went insane and planted an even hex-grid of 30-mile-equidistant stores across the whole of MT, though.

And by please I mostly mean horrified, I guess.

I had no idea I lived 30 miles from a Google map flag. They're everywhere!

Is this the pile-on thread? Didn't we just have a Walt mart thread?
