I swear, this place looks like it could take off like a Ha'tak from Stargate.

    undeniable proof that bass pro shop is what eventually grows into the tyrell corporation

    Wow, never seen this angle before. Pretty obvious that the head used to be something else, like a lion or a jackal, and then at some point a pharaoh went, fuck your ancient religion, I am your god now, here's me face.

    My hometown's calling card, lol. That's a really great photo.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Pyramid for those who are unfamiliar, it's an interesting building.

    We still build pyramids? Unexpected.

    If you want to know more, 99% Invisible did a podcast episode on the history of the building:

    Is this the headquarters of Illuminati?

    It's an outdoors shop. I'll somewhat grudgingly admit that I like what Bass Pro has done with the place, it's an interesting visit if you're in town and like outdoorsy stuff. It's better than what it used to be, which is abandoned. I am disappointed that they didn't put a giant square conference table in the top for arch-villain quarterly meetings though; if I were planning world domination I don't think I could resist doing it in the zenith of a pyramid.

    I visited it when I passed through. I wouldn't visit the city just to see it, but I've got to say it's definitely worth the stop if anyone is in the area and hasn't seen it before. I'm not into hunting and fishing, so I can't speak to the quality or value of the gear for sale. I can, however, say that seeing fishing boats for sale, floating at the dock in a pond, inside a store beside regular retail-style merchandise racks, all beneath the distant pyramidal ceiling is a unique experience. The glass elevator ride to the top and the view of the city was worth the ticket price, at least once. Would recommend.

    Edit: Admittedly they sell various other outdoor gear as well that I would have been qualified to have an opinion on, but I was a bit distracted and not actually browsing the inventory.
