People are up in arms about the proposal (that seemingly is a done deal) for a new mega walmart.

I'm curious as to why.

In Muskego, the closest Walmart is New Berlin or Mukwanago.

It costs gas to drive all the way to those stores... and with the traffic on Mooreland, especially after the addition of that stupid and unnecessary turnabout, and the construction of another.

With Gas prices reaching $3.85 and higher today... wouldn't a Walmart in Muskego be more convienent?

I also saw a woman tell the news.. "I don't want that in my back yard."

Yeah, ok but... its not in your back yard.

Its in the Back yard of Kohl's department store, and across the street from what will be a new GE plant... and kittycorner from the Gingerbread house.

I admit, I grocery shop at Walmart. When I spend $50 there... I get

Frozen Pizza
Bread
banana split flavored Icecream sandwitches (YUM YUM YUM)
Cheese
Ceral
Boneless/skinless chicken breast
2 cases of Soda
Water
Milk
Fat free pudding
Chips
Tomato Sauce
Tomato Paste
Home made pizza mix (I love pizza. lol)
Soup
peanut Butter
Jelly (strawberry. Even tho I'm allergic I love it.)

When my mom spends $50 at Pick N Save (which I heard they recently renovated) she's lucky if she gets bread, milk, soda, chips, a newspaper and toilet paper. I hear Muskego Sentry is just as expensive.

So you save on gas, and you get more bang for your buck grocery wise... especially with the price of groceries going up because of the "oil shortage." Or whatever they're accusing it on this week.

The only main concern is congestion from Traffic... but that was a concern when the Kohls went in. Didn't see much extra traffic from that.

And come on. Muskego has a walgreens, then they built another one barely 2 miles away, and I hear they're building another one on Woods. Muskego needs 3 walgreens... but Walmart is a big no no?

So I'm curious as to why residents do not want this?

I'm not saying anything against those who don't... I'm just curious as to why.
