H st NW Wal-Mart closes

Submitted by Luke on Mon, 04/10/2023 - 18:13

On the 31st of March, the Wal-Mart on H st NW in DC closed their doors, part of a series of store closings by this infamous chain. No reason was given for closing the DC store, but Wal-Mart credited shoplifters with forcing them to pull all the way out of Portland, WA. Wal-Mart never succeeded in forcing the nearby Giant Food at 3ed and H st NE to close. Years ago, any Wal-Mart that did not "Capture 100%" of nearby retail was deemed a failure and targetted for closing.

Donald Trump's surrender and arraignment on 34 felony counts drew duelling protests to NYC, but anti-Trump protesters had the edge. Marjorie Taylor Greene was supposed to be the star of the pro-Trump protest but she had to abandon her attempt to appear and run for it (with a massive security escort) when anti-Trump protesters swarmed her attempt to enter the area.
