'nother one down

CAHOKIA HEIGHTS, Ill. – While surrounding stores have closed, the Cahokia Heights Walmart has stood tall for 40 years. However, after not meeting the store’s corporate financial expectations, it’s closing its doors for good on April 21.

  2. These jackasses haven't a clue that it's because they vote liberal. They can find the stranges things to piss an moan about but refuse to accept the source. Which is them.

  3. Next we're going to hear how systemic racism is at fault for creating all of these 'food deserts' (that only seem to pop up in all blacque inner-city neighborhoods in blue-controlled hives for some weird reason?)
    I think the government should just deliver Popeyes to every single registered democrat... I mean voter in the city!
    Its not like its THEIR fault the environment they live in is the way it is. Some white man 275 years ago whipped their great great great great great great great great (they breed fast) great great grandfather for stealing. So you see, its really not Shauntavius' fault. The whyte man is to blame.

  5. Alll part of the plan. They will back fill the closed stores with state run stores using state run digital currency from their welfare check.

  7. Mayor's a real piece of work. He's going to go PICKET or call for "sit-downs" to keep the store open. Yep- make it even harder to make a sale to keep the store open. After 40 years of success, store can't make a profit. Wonder why?? Theft?

  8. Some people say poverty causes crime when the reality is that crime causes poverty.

  9. Go on line and look up the abandonded Parks College campus in Cahokia. Once upon time considered one of the best Engineering Schools in the country and called "The Harvard of the Air" now sits in ruins. St. Louis University consolidated it into the main campus and I don't really blame them. You can't attract college students to Cahokia. https://nextstl.com/2019/01/parks-air-college-past-present-future/

  10. Gee, why are people so upset about Walmart closing? Now Mom and Pop can open up little stores just like in the good old days before evil Walmart made them all close.

    1. Swing and a miss, pal.
      Every employer in their right mind puts that dictate to their employees.

  12. With a crime rate of 45 per one thousand residents, Cahokia has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 22.

    1. I lived on campus at Parks back in the 80's and even then pizza delivery guys wouldn't get out of the car after dark - we had to go meet them. Stopped by a couple of years ago while in St. Louis and I wouldn't get out of the car. What a disaster. Especially in light of the fact that my Parks education and Engineering degree have served me well in a long career in Aerospace. Cahokia always had Parks going for it and it lost it.

  14. Businesses closing? Protesters screaming “ACAB” and “Defund the po-po!” Huh, who didn’t see that coming? The citizens might want to have a chat with the local vibrants. SPOILER ALERT: it’s them.
