I grew up in a town of 2000 people and we had 2 chain grocery stores. I'm guessing a walmart would be robbed blind, especially with an explicit corporate no-kill policy.
- ojbyrne 18y agoThe theater part seems to be overdramatized: http://www.google.ca/movies?hl=en&near=detroit&dq=detroit+movie+times&ei=iqisSZy6FoOftwfIo6WKBg&sa=X&oi=showtimes&ct=title&cd=1 http://www.google.ca/movies?hl=en&near=detroit&dq=de...
- dcurtis 18y agoThere are two in Detroit. Warren, MI, where the next closest theater is, is half an hour away.
- ojbyrne 18y agoThat's the way it is in at least 75% of US cities. The "Donut-hole" phenomena is long standing. Just as an example, Detroit seems to have a comparable number of screens to Los Angeles proper: http://www.google.ca/movies?sc=1&hl=en&near=los+angeles&rl=1 http://www.google.ca/movies?sc=1&hl=en&near=los+ange... The multiplex is almost always at least somewhat suburban.
