doesa walmart shopping center

[UTVols2]

The Smith's I thought did pretty good in their sales, they got paid pretty well IMO. It would be hard for me to turn down the money they were given for a couple of doublewides and a few acres.

It is a matter of public record, you can go to the courthouse and see what the purchase price was for the roughly 7 acres of land and the two improvements that sat on them. I would have taken it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I knew the Smiths (grew up going to church at Esserville FWB) back when all this went down and I really only heard them lamenting about losing the land for sentimental reasons--not so much that they were getting lowballed on price in any shape/form/fashion.

I know that's your field now, so I really dunno the price and I was employed where I was getting inside info, so I do know what was the originally planned. It got bungled up at some point because Ernie was outta town and Fred made a decision on his own. I think they were wanting to be in the land swap because Jim had a deal with Pals for the land where you turn into the Bank and Fred didn't like it cause some how the City wasn't gaining anything.
It should've been handled better, hopefully before Ernie retire's he gets something done with the old shopping center, but as long as walmart keeps paying the lease and saying no to certain business it' will be vacant.

That is very true and Wally World ain't gonna give up that lease unless it is for someone who is no threat to them whatsoever. I do agree that things could have been handled a little diffrently but they rushed everything to make sure the City didn't lose Wal-Mart because they had a couple other places in Wise they also could have gone and were pursuing them until the City offered the land for free to Wally World

Well that part was actually misleading. The Craft guy that was store Mgr before went to bat for Norton and said he wasn't gonna let them take it out of the city. He was loyal and fought them on it and he won but cost him the job, he said they were never serious about going up near the new Lowes area it was just bluff on that part.

I could dream but I won't.
Pretty sure it is the new home for the Chinese place where the Holiday Inn is.
