Thanks for the addition. This is in line with what I hear out here all of the time. I know that the kids are being prepped to go to school after high school so that they can qualify for good factory jobs.
this outta be fun to check out for sure on Monday.
For the last couple of months, word on the street was that Walmart would tear down the old Winn Dixie in Kings Mountain & build a Walmart Express. That was half right. It will be a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
