I can't remember where Walmart was on my Orange Park part of town but I know I'd go to San Jose? because it was nicer. I rarely did that though unless we were "looking all over town" for something. I didn't grocery shop there. Here I'm in WAlmart severAl times a week. It's less than two miles away. Kenya G.
