I thought this was pretty interesting. It shows the spread of Walmart across the country. Some things I noted, first how there were no colonies or stores that were far away from an area that was already covered, it just spread. Also you can notice some definite borders it resisted crossing for whatever reason. NC has one, and there is a SE diagonal line before the mid Atlantic. Also how late it was before any showed up here (I can barely remember the Walmart on 73 opening).
