Vermont Listed as Most Endangered Place

According to this report, the entire state of Vermont has been placed on the 2004 Most Endangered Places List because a nonprofit preservation group doesn't want Wal-Mart doing business in the state. Mr. Richard Moe, president of the preservation group, said that Wal-Mart stores would cause Vermont's "special magic" to vanish.

It's assumed that prior to making the decision to list an entire state as historic, Mr. Moe consulted privately with Mr. Larry and Mr. Curly.
