An election now allows stores to sell beer & wine. The Kroger just outside the border improved its selection, anticipating competition. And it added a beer & wine bar–something the Heights stores can’t match. The nearest WalMart is not far; it was highly controversial, although it didn’t replace anything of architectural value. I’m one of those Target snobs, but I think there’s a McDonald’s inside. The attached center includes some more interesting food chains, a Cost Plus & a Sprouts–so it’s a useful addition. Houston has no zoning; it could be worse. ---

There are two Walmarts in Honolulu. The one downtown has no restaurant inside, but the one on Keeaumoku Street has a branch of the local [L&L Hawaiian Barbecue](https://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com/) chain. I love L&L but refuse to eat at the one in Walmart, because they perversely have higher prices than the other branches, not to mention a smaller menu.
