It’s like walking into a parallel dimension made up of camouflage and taxidermy. The thing has a huge waterway running through the whole shop that contains live catfish, ducks and (in one section) alligators. The largest free standing elevator in the us is in this pyramid. It contains a bowling alley, hotel and restaurant. They have a huge aquarium that scuba divers go into to feed the fish and have keeper talks in. The pyramid actually predates the bass pro. If I’m not mistaken it used to hold a museum. It’s such a central part of Memphis’s skyline that it’s on our postcards. And it’s been turned into a Bass Pro Shop. Like, the more I talk about it the more I agree with my roommate that a glittering glass pyramid on the horizon that is actually a Bass Pro Shop sounds like one of those overly long Night Vale bits that turns into an ad.The Pyramid used to be an amphitheater. When I was a kid, I saw Janet Jackson, N*SYNC, and hilariously, Sisqo, LFO, and Eve6 here. However, the Pyramid was the biggest waste of city money because, as it turns out, a fucking pyramid is awful for acoustics! It also had direct competition with The Coliseum amphitheater, ironically. Anyways, it was pretty short lived and while it was inactive, it was passed around as various things. The King Tut traveling museum showcase came to it, which was cool as all hell, but other than the occasional flea market and temporary skating rink, it was abandoned. What would happen with the Pyramid was always a hot topic of debate in Memphis. Bass Pro had been gunning for it for a while, but people were really opposed to it for Obvious Reasons. The Pyramid was such an icon on Memphis’ skyline at this point that they didn’t want it to be a huge retail outlet. There were plans to turn it into a theme park of some sort, or maybe an aquarium, but what it came down to was money. Bass Pro had the money and Memphis kind of has a shit government when it comes to things like arts, public works, and culture lmaoanyways, yeah. its a fucking bass pro shop. it has the tallest free-standing elevator in the world and has a steam punk bar on top. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Archaeologists of the future are going to have a field day with this. anybody else worried that we live in hell?They have really good fudge and gator bites thtere my dad bougjt me a pocket knife from there anybody else worried that we live in hell?heaven -- source link
