yep supposed to be finished in 2013. finally bass pro will have some competition.

Glad to hear it - they have a lot more fishing gear in store (and better deals) than they do in their catalog or even online - IMO. Now, I can hit Bass Pro and Cabela's both - make a day of it.

Would like to see more choices in Evansville.
