The Wal-Mart-to-Union-Square rumor is kaput, with a spokesman telling the Post the emptying Circuit City and Virgin spaces "were never under consideration," but the company is "still interested" in breaking into NYC. Wal-Mart's scouts have been "roaming the area around 620 Sixth Avenue," the Ladies' Mile building with T.J. Maxx and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Obligatory anti-Wal-Mart quotage: "We don't need Wal-Mart to take advantage of an economic crisis to sneak into New York and drive down standards and wages." [NYPost, previously]
