I'm still curious if they're going to try out that "upscale" concept they were going to do before Carlsbad turned them down. This has to be the most upscale neighborhood Walmart has ever gone into. The folks in the million-dollar homes in Encinitas Ranch will be able to walk to Wal-Mart for coffee and a paper!
Who received the Walmart development flyer in the mail? What a snow job. Too bad Walmart didn't sent the flyer out before the lease was signed. Mayor Stocks better watch his health insurance business for new competition. Walmart could be going into the same business.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the Walmart store has their own firefighting capabilities, because EFD can't put out a simple house fire. Oh I forgot...the fire was really hot.
ReplyDeleteStocks, Bond and Gaspar are happy about the Walmart. Mr. Bond said that he was really glad it was going in because his wife loves to shop and she won't spend as much money at Wallmart as she use to at the Home Expo. Mayor Stocks said commercial was commercial and Walmart was just like Home Expo and that the traffic will take care of itself. Gaspar stated that if you don't like it don't go there. What was not made public to the public was that someone can appeal the issuance of a remodel permit within 7 to 10 days of issuing the permit(s). That might/should have triggered a traffic study and that traffic study would have brought to light the future Walmart. I'm lucky I don't live anywhere near the intersection and have no need to use it but I sincerely hope that something will be able to be done about the probable increase in traffic for all the people that do have to use that intersection..
ReplyDeleteI want our community to petition Walmart to offer health insurance at a discount to what Jerome Stocks can issue, and I would like them to set up a Physical Therapy unit since people want other choices besides Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy. I am speaking of course as a person who supports free enterprise and consumer choice. Kristin Gaspar says that customers are what put businesses out of business, and I think that we need lower-priced competition in Encinitas.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was not convinced when Jerome Stocks claimed to be 'humbled' that he was elected mayor. He has rigged it so that he is either mayor or deputy mayor every time that he has run. It is the same bull where he and Gaspar claim that Stocks was voted Chairman of the Board for SANDAG in a unanimous vote. There was 1 applicant!!!
Did Muir come out of retirment to supervise the fight to 'save' the Crest house fire? Burnt to the ground - just like the city budget supporting the likes of his pension and perks.
ReplyDeleteSince the mayor feels perfectly free to yell at citizens or call them liars from the council dais when they bravely come forth to speak in oppisition to something he supports, I, too, don't believe his humbled to be mayor speech. What I do believe, after reading about his reaction to the Art Banners and watching Channel 10 news ( Monday, Dec. 19,2011), is that he is afraid of ghosts.

ReplyDeleteAny man who is afraid of a dead woman is a bit light in the loafers, wouldn't you say?
