other divers 'family' goods. The huge lovely store at Dundee Mich seems to do a land rush biz, but we've stopped there in mid-week and it's nearly deserted. The gun section does really well, altho8ugh they have a 'botique' room for anything remotely vintage -- and priced accordingly. We knew the first opening manager, and he was strictly 'out doors' oriented. When the other categories started showing up, I noted his departure. He did not like the direction the stores were going.

Well.............life changes...I still miss Herter's Catalogs, if for nothing else than the flamboyant descriptions and tales.

I guess we can miss Cabelas, eventually, as well.

When Cabelas was family owned, they were great! (reply)

I have been dreading this since the announcement was made that Cabela's was on the block. I have always favored them over Bass Pro.

Here's the news link... (reply)

Liked them better than Basspro but now Basspro has snuffed the competition.

I think it's already done. (reply)

Bass Pro is buying Cabelas? Makes no difference to me, either is too far away for casual purchases.
