There used to be a place on Taylor Blvd not far from Churchill Downs, that I used to patronize back when I worked at the track. I don't know why he closed down, but it seems to me the South End could probably use a good bait & tackle shop. And racetrackers do love to fish. Just my 2 cents.
that was Fentress tackle, classic place till Senior passed and one son with too many problems drank it to the gutter, I often wondered what happened to Mattie after leaving Fisherman's General Store, the old store had every reel part possible, components (sp) for rod making, rod repair, lantern repair, a fishermans true heaven, one small store we so much character, "Walter had it all" will always cherish the trips to shanty hollow to bluegill fish!
