Apparently, people around the Newport-ish area who are sick of driving fifteen minutes to a Target are getting their wish: a Target store is opening at the beginning of March next to the Newport Kroger. I AM GOING TO DRIVE BY IT A WHOLE LOT.
Maybe I’ll BUY THE ESS OUT OF SOME SHEETS, OR SOME CURTAINS. You know they have SCREEN PRINTED TEE-SHIRTS AND A LIMITED GROCERY SELECTION, TOO?
You can even find ELECTRONICS, BICYCLES, AND THOSE CONDOMS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND LIKED.
Okay. I can feign enthusiasm for consumerism for only so long.
You like target?

I think people’s dislike of this store has less to do with Target itself and more to do with the shady actions taken by Newport — like demolishing an entire historic neighborhood to make way for the store.

The impending opening of Target in Newport is yet another reason for me to mount a machine gun on the hood of my car! The Kroger traffic has already upped my level of road rage to near dangerous levels! And now drivers, crazed with a need for Target, will be added to the mix! AAAaaaarrrrgggg!
