When formerly rural areas are threatened by the encroachment of urban areas. Happens when people move and commute further and further away from the city, soon to be followed by strip malls, Walmart, cookie-cutter housing developments and SUVS driven by soccer moms and corporate fatcats. Some people complain that it also causes higher taxes, higher crime and pollution.
Urban sprawl happens near every city of reasonable size but occurs the fastest in the Sun Belt. Urban sprawl is addressed in the song "They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot."

Get the urban sprawl mug.1. Wallyworld.
2. two words: corporate terrorism. This Benadict Arnold corporation hates anything to do with competition and American capitalism. It imports products from China (ironically Communist) and Mexico to sell them at a low price, putting out of business some American corporations like Ohio-based Huffy bicycles.
3. The epitome of whitetrash America and you almost have to be such to shop there (their stores in the southwest have nothing but dirty Hispanic men wearing wife-beater shirts who shop there).
4. It gives capitalism a bad name and is responsible for the demise of jobs outsourced to Mexico. It bullies smaller businesses across America by invading the suburbs and establishing predatory prices to put the smaller, older business out of commission.
5. Practices 21st Century endentured servitude and treats its employees like disposable goods. It makes billions but pays its employees a slave wage. Many of them have sued the company to get any insurance benefits. The company refuses to let its employees unionize, although it wouldnt do any good anyway.
6. Their stores have like 30 checkout lanes but to save a dime, will only open half of them, creating ungodly long lines.
7. Their stores are dirty. Their shopping carts are usually broken and wander meanderously through the parking lot but you can’t find any in the store.
8. Hires the worst people: Their employees are unhelpfull, unprofessional, uneducated and lack professional skills. They don’t even speak English in the workplace and are probably here illegally. You almost have to be a minority to work there, thanks to affirmative action. Not surprisingly it hires illegal immigrants to clean its stores. It hires only people in wheelchairs to greet you as you enter and then questions you as you leave to make sure you’re not stealing.

What a company. Walmart is disgusting and I have to shower when I get home from their stores. They should be reported to the department of Labor. They might as well have a sign outside that says, "NOW HIRING. PLEASE INQUIRE INSIDE. WHITES AND AMERICANS NEED NOT APPLY."

Get the Walmart mug.The National Broadcasting Company and a subsidiary of General Electric. Its declining ratings have led to job cuts at the corporate level and the cancelling of many of its programs.
NBC sucks. I can't stand it.

Get the lobbyist mug.One of the lowest forms of life on Earth. An incompetent, milquetoast loser. A father who refuses to be a man and take responsibility for caring for his children. If he’s divorced, he refuses to pay child support. In the meantime, his children and wife become resentful toward him.
The justice system and prosecuting attorneys are right in wanting to incarcerate any deadbeat dad. They should be locked up with the key thrown away until they take responsibility for the children they have brought into this world.

Get the deadbeat dad mug.A derogatory term to refer to the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. This nickname is not entirely without merit, however. Although it's a comfortable, Midwest city with a steadily-growing economy, a growing population and an increase in ammenities, it is perceived as being Dullsville to the Coastal cities. It is easy to see why. It lies in the middle of nowhere--in the flat Corn Belt with no mountains, no rivers or even navigable ones, no culture, no lightlife, no high-density developement, no greenspace, no opportunites to get out and enjoy nature, not a huge number of suburbs, no high-tech jobs and abysmal public transportation. Rumor has it that Indy is talking of creating lightrail in the future, but don't count on it. Too many people in the area are too antiquated and narrowminded to accept changing anything.
Indianapolis is making valiant efforts to reinvent itself and has received national recognition for many of its developments. But it has a long way to go before being considered a hip place and a world-class city that it calls itself, for some reason. Yes, it has made improvements but may never shake off its image. You can't help your geography.

Indianoplace gets a bat rap from outsiders who don't know that the city actually has more pros than cons.
