If you've ever thought, 'Man, Corporate America is just too laissez faire and isn't deeply entrenched enough in my life!' we came across an idea we think you'll love: designs for what it would look like if Target took over a community. At this point, it's a purely academic exercise (i.e. Target was in no way involved in this). It's pretty, if entirely unsettling, a la Stepford Wives. At any rate, we'd vastly prefer Target Town to Wal-Mart Way. [Curbed LA]
