    I live 5 minutes from this. AMA I guess?

    The Memphis pyramid was a sports arena and concert venue in the past, eventually the city built another venue that wasn’t shaped stupid so it sat abandoned for a decade or so before bass pro bought it.

      Are the ducks really unlimited, or is that just economically until the limits of physical reality kick in?

        They have a duck accelerator inside that fuses antiducks and posiducks together as a source of unlimited power.

        I know you are just being silly, but to answer your question, the point of those groups (ducks unlimited, pheasants forever, whitetail whenever, turkeys tomorrow, raccoons all noons, etc) is to put money into conservation of those animals so that their populations stay great enough that they can be hunted.

        So yes, the goal is for the ducks to be unlimited.

      I saw Alanis Morissette there in 95’ish and the acoustics were terrible. Still a great concert though.

        It’s a real artist to be at the peak of popularity and play at a Bass Pro shop.

          It was not a Bass Pro Shop then. It was The Pyramid, concert venue / arena.

          I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant play there in the late 90’s. It was totally awesome, they played almost 3 hours of Led Zeppelin and Page/Plant songs. John Bonham’s son Jason was on drums.

        What about an Alanis Morrissette facts community called You Oughta Know?

        Yeah it was a terrible concert venue and sports arena other than being a novelty shape.

        Pretty much everyone in town loves the bass pro shop and we’re much happier to see it in use than abandoned like it was for so many years.

        Surprisingly no, not that I’m aware of. If they have, it hasn’t made the news.

        It’s quite steep and smooth in person, it would be very hard to climb. Probably impossible without ropes or mission impossible suction cups.
