Picaresque Slautes Vista del Norte

EL Picador and the Picaresque send out mad props and kudos to our neighbors to the east at Vista del Norte, and all of the others who are fighting the proposed Walmart Pooperstore on Osuna. Through perseverance and some very clever politicking (gotta love adding the balloon landing zone angle) they appear to have put the heavyweight on the ropes. Even Marty's gotten into the act, smelling political blood on the water, with a proposal to have the city of Albuquerque buy the land out from under Walmart!

At last, an apparent success for the little guy. So take heart, all of you Starbuck-buckers, fire-station malcontents and those of you tilting Quixote-style at sell towers. The behemoth can be landed with a single well-aimed harpoon. Keep up the good fight.

And that fight enters a very important round at Los Ranchos village hall the second Wednesday in April, when Larry and the gang gather to gut--er, amend--the VC zone. Be there to make your voice heard!
