It's hard living where the wild things roam in your backyard. Oh, and we have an REI too though it's really more for the yuppie, tree lovin', bunny hugger type of spandex wannabe outdoorsman.

Now, that wasn't nice.
I didn't mention you by name!
Yep. I remember going into Fred Bakers store when it was on the corner of 23rd and McArthur and he didn't have no dead animals hanging offa the wall. Or like our Cabela's an airplane suspended from the ceiling. What Fred did have was good prices, real good prices. And if you needed a hamburger there was a Big Ed's just a couple of doors down. Fred was not into a lot of gimmicks like they have now.
Funny thread hijack; people that want sell the store something will call and ask for Fred. My usual response to these sales guys, who haven't done their homework is; "Let me go dig him up." That is followed by a pregnant pause and then a click.
I remember those days too
coming to a Yukon near you........according to local lore
I still miss the tall goofy prick. We had a lot of good conversations. Everytime I headed out for Alaska he'd always say "Let me show ya this. It'll be good for the those bears". I proudly showed an older eskimo man in Barrow the 45-70 I'd bought from Fred for polar bear protection. He looked it over and handed it back and just shook his head. He said "That big bullet will ruin too much meat". Then he handed me his 22 Hornet and just grinned. The next time I was in Fred Baker Firearms I asked Fred to show me a 22 Hornet.
As for Cabela's I really haven't seen any good deals. Lotta fluff but high priced stuff.
Why should they get a tax incentive? This is the part I don't understand.
They will bring in a bunch of sales tax revenues and more people to the metro. It will add jobs as well. The list is pretty long as to why they would give them a tax break.
