Is Memphis a Smart City?

Memphis isn’t such a smart city. The council and government are trying to find a vendor to rent out the Pyramid. Memphis has been given good options and they have been given bad ones. Bass Pro Shop has offered to take that spot and turn it into a much larger retail store of theres They are not behind there decision. There are better ideas that fit the profile. Bass Pro is no kind of attraction to the world. Memphis should build for America and not just for them meaning the 12 people who decide. When he tour Memphis, and people come to Memphis, they see the Pyramid as a place of luxury and expense. Memphis was offered full paid construction and to turn the Pyramid into an amusement Park. The amusement park is something that would expense and add enjoyment to our community. Honestly, I rarely know anyone who shops that Bass pro. It’s a retail store and they can find any reason to close down. Memphis should try to use their smarts and give people a chance. I hope that the Memphis official will pick the correct one for US. We are the ones who funded the Pyramid in the beginning. In fact they should let the people of Memphis vote. I would be glad to go down into the polls and vote for our city. The Memphis Pyramid is a legend and we should pick something to benefit the community and people of Memphis. 246 words

I agree with you. I wrote in my blog about the big fish business signed the deal and how I do not want some fishing equipment in the Pyramid when they can go and find an empty building, clean it out, and start from there. To me, like you said, I do not know anyone that goes and buy fishing gear that business chain. They should completly find something that suits the family entertainment, if not, something that will help the community. Its just a wast of time.

I totally agree with you. Bass Pro is just not what ought to be THE thing that visitors first see when they drive over the bridge.

I agree with you.I was actually talking to my mom about how they could use the buliding for something that is better than a fishing place.It just goes to show that Memphis has some growing up to do.

I agree with you that some politicians are not that smart in Memphis and make a lot of questionable decisions. However, that does not mean that everybody in Memphis is dumn. Wendy would say,"hey, watch your broad generalizations." *smile*
