GRESHAM IS REOPENING AFTER BEING
LOOTED.
MICHELLE: THE WALMART
NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET DID NOT WALK
AWAY FROM THE GRESHAM
NEIGHBORHOOD.
INSTEAD, IT CAME RIGHT BACK.
>> THEY WERE DOING GOOD BUSINESS
HERE.
MICHELLE: SCOOPING UP HAND
SANITIZER, CLEANING PRODUCTS.
>> WE NEED WALMART.
PEOPLE HAVE TO GET MEDICINE.
MICHELLE: THIS STORY WAS LOOTED
AND DAMAGED, LEAVING THE AREA A
FOOD DESERT ONCE AGAIN.
THE 17TH WARD ALDERMAN SAYS THE
POLICE GOT HIM WHAT HE NEEDED
FROM THE BEGINNING.
>> THEY GOT ME THE RESOURCES I
NEEDED QUICKLY WHEN THEY STARTED
LOOTING SO THAT IT WASN'T TORN
UP SO BAD OR BURNED DOWN LIKE
THEY WERE DOING SOME OTHER
STORES.
MICHELLE: WALMART HAS COMMITTED
TO REOPENING ALL OF ITS DAMAGED
STORES BY THE END OF THE MONTH.
TODAY, TWO OTHER LOCATIONS IN
THE KENWOOD AND HER MOST
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BACK UP AND
RUNNING.
>> IT IS WONDERFUL.
WE PUT IN HARD WORK.
WE MISSED OUR CUSTOMERS.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THEM IN A LONG
TIME, SO IT FEELS GREAT TO HAVE
THEM BACK AND SEE OUR COMMUNITY
COME BACK TOGETHER.
>> I'M JUST THANKFUL THEY
REBUILT THE STORE AND GOT IT
GOING AS QUICKLY AS THEY DID
