Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
All of a sudden, there was this huge 300 pound gorilla sitting on my sofa, smoking a cigarette and kicking my cat, and saying 'we want to be in your community on our terms'...
The 300 pound gorilla wanted to invade author Al Norman's hometown of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Wal-Mart was willing to spend lots of money and resources to make sure it got its way.
But Al and a small band of concerned activists put on a longshot campaign and managed to slay the powerful Goliath in their town.
Now, Al Norman wants to enlist you in the ongoing fight to preserve hometown business and hometown values.
About the Author
Al Norman is a Sprawl-Buster. As a leader in the grassroots movement that's fighting to save hometown America, Al has traveled to 29 states over the past six years, at the invitation of citizen's groups looking to save their hometowns. He has helped stop more than 30 Wal-Marts, several Home Depots and other roadwide sprawl.
These days, Al is blusy traveling around the country, directing the anti-sprawl fight over his website, www.sprawl-busters.com and publishing the monthly Sprawl-Busters Alert. Al has become a flash-pont for the managed growth movement because of his direct, colorful way of confronting the big retail conglomerates that are defacing hometown America.
