Kelso on the Northcross Walmart Protest

Austin American-Statesman funnyman John Kelso had some comments about the weekend protest against Walmart moving into the Northcross Mall near Hillcrest:

On Saturday morning, 2,500 people showed up to form a human chain on the streets around Northcross to tell Wal-Mart to bug out. Ironically, this is probably the most people ever to show up around Northcross Mall, an indoor skating rink surrounded by some largely neglected shops, including one called Space Available.
If you live in the vicinity, what's your opinion of Walmart's move to Northcross? I've heard both sides in church socials, but most of the people I talk to are looking forward to the development.
