I'd like to find some food for a nice tasty dinner, some cool shoes, a knife sharpener, some cool clothes and some home decor.
Why can't I get all of this stuff in one awesome location? I love the process of shopping and getting new things, but I hate malls and I hate driving to multiple stores. I'd like to get home before 8, but if I hit all these places, that's how long I'll be out.
This is a lame rant, but it'd be really cool if someone came out with a legit one-stop shopping department store with actually cool things in it. Something like an Urban Outfitters meets Trader Joe's meets REI or something.
You need a Bass Pro
Ugh.
elaborate
It's a hillbilly hell hole...being from Springburg, all I hear about from my out of town friends, "Do you go to Bass Pro alot?"
Ummm...no. That's like me asking someone from St. Louis if they go to the arch alot. Of course not...
Interestingly, Bass Pro is the number one tourist attraction in Missouri...not the Arch, not Six Flags, not some place in Branson. Bass freaking Pro.

I could maybe buy this a couple years ago when it was still the only store but now that they have opened others I doubt it is true. I'd bet Branson has passed it at the very least.
Out of the things he listed you could only find a knife sharpener and maybe some cool home decor there. No way will you find some cool shoes, clothes, or decent food there.
I haven't really shopped for shoes there, but they have some decent clothes there. Certainly stuff that's up to par with Urban Outfitters.
They also have pretty good food in their grocery department.
Basically my point was, if you're looking for a "upper middle class, young, hip, on-the-go professional person's Wal-Mart", that's Target.
Agreed. Super Target is the shiznozzle...
Target is ok for quick fixes, but it's really just Wal Mart with some taste.

Well you're just one needy m'er f'er, aren't you.
And to think I wanted to be matched with you on gHarmony. [-(

Look it up...if it's wrong my MGT professor has some splaining to do...of course, that was 4 years ago.
