But you have to explain why Walmart is a done deal and the denials are false.
Mainstream media: "According to a person familiar with the negotiations..."
VV: "According to us..."
Victoria Buzz: "Apparently the place was destroyed by fire"

maybe you need to name a source even if that source is "a source intimately familiar with the arrangements/deal".

Does it make you feel better to read “several sources, who wished to remain anonymous but confirmed their familiarity with the lease arrangements, say...”It honestly adds nothing of value.
It's not about making me feel better; it's journalism 101. It's literally in the first chapter of the CP Stylebook.
If you have a scoop, you need to tell where it comes from so readers can evaluate it for themselves. Doesn't matter if they're on record, off record, on background, you have to give context, and it usually takes the form of "According to....".
I'm trying to help you.

i tend to agree. it just looks odd otherwise.
you can't just say a car crashed on bay street today. you have to either say you were there to see it or someone else presented the information to you. you can say trump ordered a strike on that terrorist guy that's been widely reported. but speciality information we need the source.

I'm curious if there's any plans for some kind of parking expansion (I think the roof is only partial parking although I never go up there) the parking lot was already pretty full during the holidays, even back by the empty Sears building. On weekends it can get pretty full too and I imagine a Walmart would make that worse.

I wonder if Walmart going into the old Sears space will help the mall with attracting smaller tenants to fill the various empty spaces (at my last count, eleven in the new wing). As I see it the mall will get a big boost in traffic thanks to Walmart, and mall stores may want to get in position to pick up some of that traffic coming and going.

I’m seeing quite a few people unhappy with Walmart at Hillside, or suggesting their expansion is proof there is growing divide between the haves and the have nots...
I'm not sure Walmart caters to a significantly different clientele today than Sears did in its heyday. Also, last I checked, no one is being forced to shop there. If someone doesn't like what Walmart stands for, they are free to patronize whatever mom-and-pop establishment or upscale boutique empties their wallet while soothing their soul.

A multi-level parking structure where the old Sears garden centre was situated would make a lot of sense.

An increase in customer traffic to that end of the mall pretty much has to be a benefit to the existing and future tenants.
