[at-l] Wall Martfabric department closing

[Kevin Kirby]

Wal-Mart needs to go bankrupt. They deserve what ever bad things happen to them. If I had it my way, they would have been bankrupt a long time ago.

prosperity.

What are they going to put in it's place? Another department that has
clothing that doesn't sell like the other existing clothing departments?
