I haven&#8217;t been a subscriber for long, but I was interested to see what shiny bits might churn through their channels.&nbsp; And then came the article today on Wal-Mart&#8217;s commitment to the revitalization of community spaces&#8211;a clear, surprising reversal against their record for building indoor, suburban sprawl-marts filled wall to wall with discount goods.&nbsp; The article makes its name in the April newsletter from PPS, and I find the issue&#8217;s theme, &quot;faked spaces,&quot; to be intriguing.&nbsp; It suggests&#8211;rightly, I think&#8211;the <i>appearance of<\/i> a drastic turn away from the tyranny of naked suburban commercialism: Wal-Mart&#8217;s legacy of profiteering.&nbsp;<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a short blurb from the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&quot;[Wal-mart is] tired of being on the wrong side of the<br \/>\n  community-building equation,&quot; he added, noting that he believes the<br \/>\n  firm&#8217;s bottom line can take a back seat to broader community [regional] goals.<br \/>\n  &quot;We think we can take that to the shareholders and make a convincing case that a stronger local economy will be better for our stores in the long<br \/>\n  run,&quot; Glass said. (first inset mine)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m curious about what this will look like.&nbsp; I wonder how it figures<br \/>\ninto Wal-Mart&#8217;s profit formula.&nbsp; Will we see town squares made over with a<br \/>\nsweeping infestation of so many mini Wal-Marts?&nbsp; Will we need shopping<br \/>\ncarts to load up there and there and there and across the block, at the Wal-Mart<br \/>\nover there?&nbsp; I sure don&#8217;t want to rain on this promise, yet; I look forward<br \/>\nto experiencing Wal-Mart&#8217;s reinvestment in vital community centers. But we can&#8217;t<br \/>\nblame anyone for being skeptical of this plan, this reversal of the retailer&#8217;s<br \/>\nlegacy.&nbsp; It&#8217;ll be undone when?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It reminds me of an exchange I enjoyed last fall with a student who was<br \/>\nstationed at Mountain Home AFB in Mountain Home, Idaho.&nbsp; He wrote&#8211;for<br \/>\nintro to humanities (the segment on industry, labor and consumerism)&#8211;about the<br \/>\ndeep-felt resentment openly shared among many of the locals in Mountain Home<br \/>\nsince the Wal-Mart installation embargoed the base from the once-lively city<br \/>\nsquare.&nbsp; According to the student, Wal-Mart was the subject of<br \/>\nwhole-community scorn, but the people took jobs there and shopped there because<br \/>\nthe market became dependant on the superstore.&nbsp; I look forward to the new<br \/>\nmodel.&nbsp; Of course, as little as I know about commercial real estate, I wonder whether the vacant big boxes of America will be empty for long. Doubtful that they&#8217;ll be torn down, remade green.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and one more thing.  Guess I should re-think yesterday&#8217;s rant, since I just picked up on the role of<br \/>\n&quot;slide shows&quot; in the appeal:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Kent said he was surprised but pleased that his speech had created such an<br \/>\n  immediate impact. &quot;Frankly I expected a hostile reaction,&quot; he<br \/>\n  admitted, &quot;but the <a class=\"footnote\" onmouseover=\"window.status=' '; return true\" href=\"javascript:alert('PowerPoint');\" title=\"What?\">slide show<\/a> depicting small, public markets<br \/>\n  around the world seemed to win them over, especially the shots of couples<br \/>\n  kissing over various varieties of fresh vegetables.
