Wilderness battlefield vs WalMart

[Embalmer]

its like the casino they were gonna build in Gettysburg. After a long few year fight, the developer got fed up and left... Those areas shouldnt be paved over now. 50 years ago not many people cared, and now look at the likes of maryes heights in Fredericksburg, once a huge open field where 1000's fell, now all suberbia. Bunkerhill here in Boston, slopes where the british were felled by the truckloads, all projects ect.... Once these historic resources are paved over, they are lost forever... There are plenty of places for walmart to go, other than that perticular spot.

A few years ago Gettysberg forced a fairly new auto dealership to close and they razed it to restore part of the battlefield. Good things can happen.
I beleive that I read that in Civil War Times or a similar magazine.
