Wal-Mart - Small Town Variant



Description: A small-town Wal-Mart.
Potential in SimCity 4: Every small town in the South needs a small Wal-Mart.
More Info on the Subject: Not much to say, really. These were the "original" Wal-Marts, the ones Sam Walton built his empire on. Regrettably, many have fallen by the wayside. They are getting updated outside (like the picture below shows) or in, if not getting abandoned outright for larger Supercenter buildings.
Location in RL: Caldwell, Texas. Similar examples include Navasota, as well countless other smaller locations like in this country.
Building Exists?: There are plenty examples like this, but many have "tan-ized".
BAT Progress?: Collected measurements, drew a few shapes, abandoned shortly thereafter. Still on the "to-do" list.
Wikipedia: Walmart
Official Website: Walmartstores.com
Current Equivalent: Someone tried to make something similar to this a few years back. It looks ugly.

Variation: Can come in tan (recently repainted to be so) and dark brown. May or may not add the logo (added even later)
Bing View: None. But I did take a picture last January.

  1. The flag is at half-staff in this picture because it was taken shortly after the Flagstaff shootings.
