Score one for the litte guys! In Owen Sound we have this wonderful little food shop on mani street. It's been around for awhile. It's name is Marketside. Seems like Wal-Mart (the giant) wants to get more into fresh, more locally grown produce... and I guess that's not a totally bad thing.... although, do they have to get into everything. Pretty soon they'll be selling cars, escort services, and weapons of mass destruction, too, I suppose. In any event they already have begun to use the name "Marketside" in the States, and they had plans to do the same in Canada. Well, it turns out that our local little shop contacted them and in a nutshell the whole matter was settled out of court and Wal-Mart backed down..... maybe they can call this department in their store "Market-Mart".... has a nice rap sound to it, don't you think?
