you can say what you want about it being pretentious to know and care about it but I think it's cool that it's a cultural artifact that is surviving into the 21st century by virtue of being a good design

it used to be the big arena where the college and pro-bball teams played in memphis, based off memphis' namesake in ancient egypt. then the city built a bigger, more expensive stadium, and the pyramid was abandoned, to the point that people were calling it cursed.

for some reason they had a hard time finding a tenant for a giant, crumbling, cursed pyramid overlooking the mississippi, so expectations for redevelopment were continually lowered until we got the bass pro shops theme park we have today

I have no tattoos but gently caress it, this design looks cool and I'm gonna consider getting it for myself for my birthday as my first tat. That's my only motivation: looks cool and was found on an ancient dead body which is cool backstory

Hahaha you just prompted me to google some pictures and it's like a loving shrine to performative masculinity and spending money.

Going there is a day out for the family for a lot of people, isn't it? It's one of those landmarks, an attraction, a tourist trap?

It's a general outdoor goods store, they sell bicycles, guns, bows, tents, water purifiers, ropes, pittons, woodcutting axes, clothing for various outdoors type endeavors, you name it

I am fond of those kind of stores

It's a theme park except if the entirety of the theme park was the gift shop.

So am I. I'm just not used to them having front that's more suited to a super high end hotel, or theme park or something similar.

Does it have a hotel? Please tell me it has a hotel.

It's such a pure expression of capitalism, its entire purpose is to suck the money out of people at the expense of any actual culture that it once embodied that it loops back around to become a pure expression of what American culture is now.

When you think about it it's essentially just a department store with different theming/branding

It could be argued that a mall or department store is also a symbol of American excess but they're dying and so are big retail outdoors stores like those so you won't have to be annoyed by their existence for long

The upper floors are a hotel. Also you can say what you want about Bass Pro Shops but if I'm near one I'm going in to see the giant aquarium.
