Title: Store Wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town
Director: Micha Peled
Release Date: 2002
Run Time: 56 mins.

“Wal-Mart opens a new megastore every two business days and has expanded on average into one new country every year. A truly global company, Wal-Mart has redefined the shopping experience for the American consumer. Every day a new megastore opens somewhere in America. But in Ashland, Virginia (population 7,200), a group of citizens takes on the world's largest retailer along with the town's establishment. STORE WARS follows the controversy that tears the town apart, examining in the process the impact of big-box stores on small town America. STORE WARS follows the events in Ashland from the first public hearing that galvanizes residents' opposition until the town council takes a final vote one year later. Arguments for the store include increased tax revenues, low prices for shoppers and new jobs. Those adamantly opposed, including local business owners and transplants who came to Ashland for its quality of life, feel the store will destroy the small-town atmosphere, increase traffic and provide only low-end minimum-wage jobs. Hot debates ensue in churches, on sidewalks and in the local coffee shop.”

Screening Date: June 11th, 2008
Where: Downtown Latte, 44 S. St. Clair St. Toledo
Time: 6 -8 pm

News--Justice for Danny Brown

2008-04-07T07:42:00.000-07:00

The purpose of this post is to spread link love to two of Toledo's Favorite bloggers and shed light on an unfortunate injustice at the helm in our local courts.

Here is a glimpse of the debate as ripped from this History Mike Blog Post

Danny Brown, who was wrongly convicted in 1982 of a rape-murder and who spent 19 years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. DNA evidence later exonerated Danny, and he walked out of a Toledo courtroom in 2001 with the right to a new trial.

Yet, Danny has not yet recieved his day in court. We need to increase the public clamor for Danny Brown to finally have his day.

Lisa Renee's Glass City Jungle reports today that:

"Part of that reason is probably related to the lack of media attention and pressure on the Lucas County Prosecutor’s office…if you are inclined to do just a bit more...[call and pressure]...(419) 213-4700 is the phone number listed for the office of Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates."

Of sit-coms, dramas and reality shows which do you prefer?

Family Oriented or Sopranos Style?

Do you have TiVo or DVR?

American Gladiators, UFC, or WWE?

Favorite actor or actress?

If you could kick one actor or actresses a$$ who would it be?

Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton?

Andy Dick or Jimmy Kimmel?

Would you watch a tv show if it was made by Toledoans?

We got some great and varied responses. If you want to answer the questions feel free to do so. If you are local and want to stop by our studio, feel free to e-mail me at the gmail account.

Here are some pictures from the demolition as Toledo builds the new arena. Here is a Blade article that highlights some current info about the project. At first we saw the Subway demolished,

Then we started with this guy:

These are pretty good:

Feel free to send comments about the new arena or share your thoughts about what kind of events you would like to see. I am wondering if the arena plan will have parking or if we will use existing lots around the area. They are destroying a lot of the parking that was over in the area.

Salvatore Schiciano-- Long Week, well worth it.

2007-09-16T09:34:00.000-07:00

I paid Sal to come in and take a few shots, photo shots! Our oil master in residence Sal Schiciano stopped in to have his mug taken. He is a great artist and worked real hard to organize the happenings at The Secor during Artomatic. I finally caught him today while he was cleaning and made him come down. You can check out at least five of Sal's pieces at Churchill's Market in Maumee. There was a great article in this week's Toledo Free Press about Walt Churchill and his family's passion for art. Mr. Churchill will premier Sal's work from September 16th-29th as part of an ongoing commitment to showcase local artists.
