Walmart Store #1864


I saw this jacket in a litter pool back on June 4th.  It was stuck under a bunch of debris and just far enough out that I couldn't reach it.  With lower water levels I was finally able to grab it today and also get a backpack that was wrapped around some tree branches.  That's a Refrigiwear brand jacket from Walmart store #1864. That's the superstore in Brooklyn Park about 10 miles north of downtown.  Was this jacket owned by a former Walmart employee? I don't know who else would embroider the store number on their clothing. Wonder what happened to that employee. I don't think it ended well. Walmart #1864 is right next door to Shingle Creek which zigs and zags its way for about 15 miles before it gets to the Mississippi River.  I'm not familiar with this creek but it seems somewhat unlikely that it could have traveled that far before becoming tangled in something but who knows.  The power of water! By the way there was a nice large plastic bag waiting for me on the beach right before I got to this spot.
