I love these stores. Visiting is an event unto itself.
Downtown Memphis though.
Store will not survive the Memfrica culture that surrounds it.
I dunno. I’ve lived in Shelby County and surrounding area nearly all my life, and I’ve never been a fan of downtown. BUT - when AutoZone built the Redbirds AAA Baseball park, (Opened 15 years ago, yesterday) things began to turn around a bit. And it keeps getting better.
Lots of good places to eat, see concerts, etc. Downtown Memphis is amazingly better than it used to be. I thought the Bass Pro Shop was the stupidest idea ever, and the contract negotiations went on so long, I was sure they would back out. But they didn’t.
If downtown Memphis can appeal to THIS life-long cynic, it really has a chance. I’ll be going to Bass Pro very soon.
Good info. Haven’t been to Memphis in probably 15 years. Had friends who lived in White Haven MS and we ran up to ‘the City’
