Is Memphis Making (Another) Massive Mistake With Its Pyramid?
A giant Bass Pro Shops outlet is set to move into the infamous landmark. But the city could be on the hook for millions if the deal falls apart.
"Quite frankly, what revenue-producing, tax-producing activities would be well suited to be located in a pyramid?"
Such a churlish question from Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton, Jr.! Pyramids make excellent seats of administrative power, long-term storage solutions for environmentally hazardous sarcophagi, and transit terminals to other metaphysical dimensions. A pyramid's potential for producing sustainable dark energy alone should never be discounted. Surely, Mayor Wharton and The New York Times know this much.
