Wal-Mart comes to Davis Square

[ron_newman]

No, not the store, but one of their empty shopping carts. In the past week I've seen it in two different places on Day Street, and now next to the bike racks in Seven Hills Park behind the Holland Street T entrance.

I have no idea how it got here, since the closest Wal-Mart store is 9 miles away in Lynn.

(1) I wouldn't mind a Wal-Mart closer than Lynn, but I can't think of where you'd put one without ruining traffic in Somerville. Maybe if you detonated the Foodmaster way up on Broadway.

(2) I'd like a 15-minute short film following the journey of that shopping cart from Lynn to here, a la The Red Balloon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048980/).
