Big first day at Bass Pro
 Story Chat Post Comment
Seven minutes after the doors opened Wednesday night at Prattville's Bass Pro Shops, fire officials closed the turnstiles because the sprawling 185,000-square-foot megastore had reached its capacity of about 3,100.

Yeah. Big news. The first Bass Pro Shop opened in the area.

Woo Hoo!

Thankfully, I'm about to get in my car and drive to Atlanta.

The excitement around here is just too much for me.

    I've heard those Bass Pro shops are pretty cool. Too bad you have to miss the grand opening. Darn. ;-)

    I know so little about Bass Pro shops but it somehow doesn't even look worth googling!

    Have a great trip!

    With hindsight, we really should have let all you southerners start your own backwards ass country.

    Hey now, don't knock the Bass Pro Shops...apparently there's one in Tennessee that has a pretty decent restaurant inside it, so says my mom.

    OMG, that is sooo Alabama. That's like in high school we had no tests the first day of hunting season because half of the school was absent.

    Why the hell did I move back here?
