From The San DIego Union-Tribune:
About three dozen protesters defied a morning downpour Thursday to demonstrate against construction of a Wal-Mart in central Carlsbad.
The group waved signs encouraging motorists to honk if they opposed the giant retailer’s intentions to build on the northwest corner of El Camino Real and College Boulevard.
Rob Abbott, a leader of the group opposing a Wal-Mart, said the reasons for the opposition are many.“I think the real reason we’re opposed is it doesn’t fit the makeup of Carlsbad,” said Abbott, who lives in Terraces at Sunny Creek, across College Boulevard from Wal-Mart’s property.
Give ’em hell, Rob. And let us know when the next protest is.
