In response to Kari Dequine's report on NOLA.com, "Belle Chasse residents wary of proposed Wal-Mart development," reader latrick5o4 had this to say:
Developers are proposing a shopping center anchored by Walmart on 33 acres of at the corner of Woodland Highway and Louisiana Highway 23, adjacent to the Springwood Estates subdivision. "I live in Belle Chasse and I would like to welcome Wal-Mart into the community. It would create jobs and revenue for Belle Chasse. I really hate it when I have to cross the intercoastal bridge canal just to go buy groceries from Winn Dixie or Rouses mainly because that stupid bridge is always up. If the bridge never goes up there would never be any traffic. Nevertheless, if there is a Wal-Mart in Belle Chasse, it would improve traffic because not everyone is trying to cross the bridge to go buy groceries. Balestra is much more expensive than the other grocery stores. Moreover, there canned goods are old and dusty. I'm just tired of reading everyone upset about Wal-Mart when they as well shop at Wal-Mart because it is cheaper."
