What To Do With The Pyramid?

Memphis is still trying to decide what to do with the Pyramid downtown. One blogger said it looked like Bass Pro Shop will be moving in the Pyramid. If this is so I will not be too happy. I do not understand what Memphis will get out of having a huge Bass Pro Shop. It might attract some tourists but only those into hunting, fishing, or anything else to do with the outdoors. I think many people are like me in that we like the outdoors and might visit the shop once or twice if that, but really we would get no joy out of having one here. There is a Bass Pro shop in Memphis and I don’t understand why they would want another one, especially downtown. I see Bass Pro Shop as somewhere you go every once in a while to get supplies for an outdoor activity, not somewhere that people will want to go back multiple times.

Even though it might not be the best option, I still think having a theme park would be way better than a Bass Pro Shop. Many people would go to a theme park, even tourists. I feel Memphis would make a lot more money from a theme park and local Memphians will be able to have something different to enjoy.
