We have a Super K-Mart, 2 Super Walmarts, a Big Kmart, and a Target. The new Super Walmart (#2) is being built right next door to the Big Kmart, so I think it's only a short time before we have: Super K-Mart, 2 Super Walmarts, and a Target. Although the Super K-Mart will be inbetween the two Wal-Marts so maybe they will go down too in more time. Currently the Super Walmart is always so crowded so this will definitely help (and the new walmart is not far from my house so that's good...although the other one isn't far either.)
We have 234,403 people in the city according to Wikipedia, but the way the area (referred to as the 7 cities) is set up is kind of like the European Union. They're all really close together and people travel between them like it's nothing. (Example: We have two malls in my city, but it's nothing to go to Chesapeake or Virginia Beach to go to the mall or movies or dinner etc.) The closeness is amplified by the fact that I live in Norfolk, but "South Norfolk" is a community in Chesapeake and "West Norfolk" is a community in Portsmouth. In the all of them, there's a population of 1.6 million making it the 4th largest metro area in the SE US, and the largest between DC and Atlanta.
It sucks because of all the "urban" people and poverty and crowds and stuff, but I guess the fact that we have stuff that's accesible is good.
