[@jamesdb7115]

Bass Pro in Bristol use to have the Fish Bowl bowling ally attached. It was detailed but may not be that detailed as it is in Memphis (but hey you go all out in the pyramid), now Bristol's Bowl is now Cabellas line of outdoor gear

[@Landmasters]

I was fixing to move to Memphis to fly a drone for security purposes, but I was looking to settle down in Arkansas a short distance from the border. Then I saw that that bridge you highlighted was shut down, I saw the absurd traffic outside of peak hours at the bridge to the South and realized I'd be playing with fire on drive time, especially if god help me a crash happened on the southern bridge. That being said...that pyramid does look really cool. I'd definitely check it out had I followed through on that relocation.

In case your wondering yes he was at bass pro in Memphis I've passed by it too. And he caught a glimpse of the Mississippi river bridge on i40 he couldn't use that bridge due to cracks on it it should be running again next month. I hope. But I wonder what way did you take I think you took majority of the way I've taken when to both Indiana and more recently Nashville which your heading too. I sure wish to see it again myself.

My Sophmore chemistry teacher was a big outdoor guy and would always talk about fishing, hunting and his guns. I always had it written down to ask him if he’s been here and I never got the chance to ask him. He retired too, so now I’ll just assume he’s been here since then.
