  <title>508 #6: Beer, guns, and Wal-Mart</title>
  <description>&lt;strong&gt;508&lt;/strong&gt; is a show about Worcester.&#13;
&#13;
This week, Mike is joined by &lt;a href="http://www.wccatv.com/snowghost"&gt;Bruce Russell&lt;/a&gt; and&lt;a href="http://www.radioball.net"&gt;Brendan Melican&lt;/a&gt;.&#13;
&#13;
The &lt;a href="http://radioball.net/index.php/2007/10/23/all-good-ideas-start-in-a-bar/"&gt;mayoral forum&lt;/a&gt; at the Dive Bar went great, though many were dissatisfied with the candidates' answers. Brendan recaps his &lt;a href="http://radioball.net/index.php/2007/10/24/public-relations-and-a-giant-load-of-bs/"&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; about the rhetoric Worcester State College officials are using to argue that their security should be armed. Opposition to a Worcester Wal-Mart &lt;a href="http://telegram.com/article/20071025/NEWS/710250672/1008/NEWS02"&gt;has ended&lt;/a&gt;; Wal-Mart itself is &lt;a href="http://telegram.com/article/20071024/NEWS/710240324/1002/BUSINESS"&gt;slowing down the spread&lt;/a&gt; of SuperCenters. Sarah Loy returns to court Monday for a hearing regarding a &lt;a href="http://www.pieandcoffee.org/2007/10/14/cirignano-2/"&gt;criminal complaint against her&lt;/a&gt;. Bruce plugs his cable access show, and Mike and Brendan praise the Dive Bar.</description>
