More traffic over the horizon here

I just started looking at the local news for my home town here, St. Charles,
MO. We are growing so fast here I can't keep up; we are now the 2nd fastest
growing county in the nation... our traffic is almost as bad as downtown St.
Louis, & now I see that it's going to get worse. St. Louis Mills, a HUGE
mall just minutes away, is getting one of the awesome new Cabelas stores to
compete with our existing BPS. Furthermore, the mall is adding the
restaurants & hotels, etc., to accommodate it all. Oh well...

Bob - you should count your blessings that you'll have a BPS and a Cabalas
close to you .I've got a" DICKS" that has got almost as much fishing
merchandise as my local carry out .I should be so lucky.On the bright side
my hometown population is around 18K more or less

Sometimes I miss the conveniences of the city, but not for very long.
The other day I had to wait for two cars to pass at our one main
intersection here...I knew both drivers, we all waved.

I've never been in a Cabelas, or Bass Pro Shop...I don't even know where
the closest one is. I get what I need at any one of the local tackle
shops, well actually I get alot of it from the kid.

I can be on the lake in 10 minutes, no fees, no crowd.

My fishing license cost me $5, that includes hunting too, but I don't
hunt .

I havn't been asked for I.D. when cashing a check here in the past 8
years (I've been here 8 years and a month).

The only draw back....I have to drive to the next county to buy a six
pack of MGD.

Ken - the Dick's in my area isn't quite Cabelas or BPS, but they do have an
extensive tackle selection.

Same here Warren. There are 3 Dick's Sporting stores within an hour of
me. They each have a decent sized fishing section, and often have
overlapping merch in that what one store is out of, one of the other 2
likely has. They carry Power Pro, and a lot of other stuff that I use.
For salt and fresh water.

We have a BPS here in NC, but it's several hours away, near Charlotte.
If I have to drive to Charlotte, I'd rather wait on UPS. It's a nice
store, sure, but for everyday stuff...not worth the drive. I try to
make it there once a calander year if they're lucky.
