Will Chi’s S. Side Chatham neighborhood — “Pill Hill” for its many physician residents — get a Wal-Mart or won’t it? Where do consumers come into the labor-union-solidarity picture anyhow?
Arnita Mock Harris, [a] resident, said she and her mother travel to Evergreen Park and Lansing to shop at Wal-Mart and would rather shop in the city if they could.
“We don’t shop in our neighborhood,” said Harris. “The prices are too high. We go to the suburbs.”
It wouldn’t be the first time black shoppers had to go suburban to find prices, not to mention goods. But in this case, it’s unions that would be sending them there.
