I agree trader. I don't think that bass pro should be given land, tax incentives yes but property no. A couple of years Bass Pro was courting Selma (I think it was Selma) right off of 20 on the way to Vandiver and as I remember it was a long drawn out deal and I never heard if it did or didnt happen. I would love to have a bass pro, but like you dont think that they would last. You see many of them off of Interstates and I doubt that the Floence traffic would support their bottom line. In my opinion Florence needs to supply the traffic and Bass Pro needs to make them stop. I travel also and our area is kind of screwed up to get in and out of, I dont think anyone will head east off of 65 to buy some new camo. I doubt bass pro would bring any real boom to the community probably a couple of 100K jobs, a few 70K and a lot of 20K (bulk of the people couldnt live off of the wage) I am all for it but dont think it will last.
