What's this buzz I'm hearing about Wal-Mart thinking about building a distribution center somewhere in or near Lincoln? I wonder if this is a rumor generated by folks infuriated by Seng's antics regarding the proposed Wal-Mart at 84th and Adams in order to try to sway public opinion in Wal-Mart's favor. Or perhaps Wal-Mart itself started the rumor. Or maybe -- just maybe -- the rumor has a grain of truth to it. If true, it would be great news for Lincoln. A Wal-Mart distribution center would mean probably a couple hundred jobs directly related to the facility, plus potentially hundreds more in related industries, such as trucking.
If you were Wal-Mart, where would you put such a facility? Airpark? West O? North 70th Street? Or, gulp, Waverly?

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
I think outside of lincoln in an area with fewer laws. Kind of why waverly has been a little lucky lately.
It is funny cuz I am a liberal without a party and I have no problem with wall mart. My crazy liberal friends hate me for it. Where else can you watch meth addicts run around at 4 AM while drunk.
Put it in Lincoln’s industrial park ... Waverly.
