Walter Reed, a few blocks north of the old Chevy dealer, is leaving for new digs in Bethesda and a few hundred local jobs are leaving with it. The area is already blighted. Blockbuster closed their franchise across the street because no one returned the CDs, but WalMart is willing to begin an enterprise that might employ a few people and provide shopping convenience for the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>But here are the unions stopping what may be the best thing to happen to the people living there.
