City with a plan

Lord knows, not everyone agrees with my take on big-box retail chains vs. independent businesses, but the facts need to be addressed. The giant sucking sound you hear comes when the profits derived from your retail spending go flying out of town on the express jet.

See what one town is doing to prevent the negative impacts of big boxes. Sounds like visionary planning, to me.
