Walmart Adventure


We tried to go to a Walmart to pick up a couple of things.  The GPS can find them for us, but can’t tell us what the neighbourhood is like!  We had driven through a number of ethnic communities, especially Korean, but by the time we got to the Mall, it was predominately black.  As we turned into parking lot we saw about 10 police cars and the first few warning bells started to sound, as we drove our rather large truck around the very crowded parking lot, the bells got a bit louder, when a rather large black women came around the back of her car, radiating attitude as only a “fierce” black woman can, the bells were telling us to go home!  On the way out of the parking lot we saw a sign in the neighborhood stating that “Cruising not allowed.  Cruising means going past the same point twice within six hours.”  If they need to have signs out to stop cars from driving around looking for ‘drive by’ opportunities, then perhaps this was not the neighbourhood for this little white family in their big white truck!
