WALMART GIVETH...AND BROWNSVILLE TAKES IT AWAY

(Ed.'s Note: Now, that's real incentive. The photo above was sent tyo us by Jerry McHale's Baker Boys who were on the hunt for specials at the Walmart on Boca Chica and FM 802. That store is closing as is another and the corporation is consolidating its stores in Brownsville. To liquidate its remainig investory, the store had everything marked to 50 percent. What the bargain-shopping shamuses didn't count on was the diligent parking officer from the Cioty of Brownsville parking division who pounced upon the bargain seekers who had left thier cars parked alongside the building in the fire zone. Whatever savings they got probably ended up in that department's budget which just recently got a boost from increasing the fines for parking from $5 to $10. Parking in a fire zone is probably a bit more. Rememebr shoppers, today is Yellow Tag Day.)
