They wanted to put one in Watertown about 10 years ago. It was shot down because...

1. Traffic concerns

2. Target and HD are about a mile up the road and it would impact their business.

3. They're a crime magnet.

4a) Residents thought it would ruin the character of the neighborhood..

4b) Residents didn't like Walmart because they're Walmart and they do WalMart things

Personally, I have nothing against them and would have welcomed them, but I'm also not pissed they got run out of town.
