Our Wal-Mart doesn't get enough of my attention to compare, but we have at least 4 sizable weekly farmer's markets in this town of 100,000 people: one at the courthouse, one at the local grocer (though not *every* weekend), one at the old Steele's on Drake & Shields, and one near the ACE Hardware on Harmony.

Alas..

Only good thing about walmart
