Re-Using the "Big Box"

From Treehugger, an interesting report on how abandoned "big box" buildings are being re-used across the country. I've got mixed feelings on this one: it's great to see the communities coming up with creative ways of "recycling" these buildings, but, of course, they're abandoned in the first place so bix-boxers like Wal-Mart and Home-Depot can move into even bigger spaces...
