I haven't seen Tim Allen's sitcom, but I bet when word gets around that his fictional store, is a picture, of the real store, they will get more lookey-loos. My husband is a fisherman, and when he goes to the Bass Pro Shop, I just tag along, to look at all the stuffed wild life, and the real fish, in the store's man-made creek. That store is a mall in itself--I don't know how it survives, financially--but, if the recent relevation, by your attentive reader, helps business--great!
I haven't been to Bass Pro Shops yet, but the first night of the sitcom I was pretty sure that was Outdoor Man's stand-in. Nice to know I was right! And Shirley makes it sound pretty interesting inside -- maybe I'll stop by there just for curiosity's sake. I guess there must be enough "outdoor men" in RC and environs to keep the store going!
[I've visited the store two or three times just to gawk. It's an experience. The adjoining restaurant, Islamorada, is worth trying, if that helps make the drive worthwhile. I believe it was a Restaurant of the Week here. -- DA]
