[Vision2020] downtown: Moscow/Pullman Hwy. Mall?

[Melissa Hendrickson]

The Pullman Super Walmart is going in across from Safeway, not just 
across the border on the Moscow/Pullman Highway.  So it will not be as 
convenient as you might think to simply stop shopping at Winco and 
start shopping at the Super Walmart.
