Wal-Mart price talks stall for York Road couple
Howard and Mary Vanney of 1210 York Road hold out for fair compensation as negotiations with Wal-Mart persist. Realtor Neil Oussoren, linked to Wal-Mart and Diversified Properties, visits repeatedly from last August, offers are rejected, and a broader 17 acre site, including two historic buildings, faces eventual razing per Straban Township authorities. The Vannoys reflect on decades of memories and convenient location near Village Green Nursing Center as the dispute continues into 1989 and early 1990.
