A group of people have started the SAVE VOORHEES campaign. They want to save it from having a big box Wal-Mart by the Echelon Mall. Not long after the mall owners put up their new plans for their signs in the now empty Sam Goody the people for SAVE VOORHEES were out on Somerdale road waving their ANTI-Wal Mart signs. Dan K reported seeing a huge sign on Somerdale Road.
The group is meeting tonight to try to get together conerned citizens. They have posted a pictures of the location of the location of the potential Wal-mart. They seem to be horrified how close it is to their schools and homes! They also voiced their fear of trucks. No mention on the other stores returning to the mall or joining the mall. Just all slamming Wal-Mart.
The drop dead date is slated for April 6th, and it's doubtful PREIT could pull out if they wanted to at this point. It certainly won't be the quiet evening they had hoped for. It could even get ugly since the decision is likely to be reached. I find little support for the Wal-Mart by the people of Voorhees. Perhaps they have the mayor or some politicians in their pocket, but its looking like the Echelon Mall's feeding tube will be pulled next week. Hopefully, no one be driving trucks to the meeting.
Check out the people of Voorhees, speaking out.
