    Peoria or i should say east Peoria is supposedly getting a BASS PRO SHOPS! I need a part time job! I got a email today from a friend, who got it from a friend saying there are bids being taking for a 100,000 sq. ft. store!

    It was in our local paper last year. BPS was scouting different cities and settled on Peoria. Rumor is true.

    BPS has had Execs out at least 3 times now scouting the area etc. I'm sure it will happen but who knows when.

    It is, but it read in the newspaper article that they were going to put more roads in and around it to ease the traffic.

    Figures, I get a job out of state with very little Bass (Utah) and they finally bring a BPS within reach, instead of burning a whole day to get to Chicago or STL.

    That would be great...there is also a Scheel's Sporting Goods to be opened July 2011 outside of Springfield. Never been to one but it is supposed to be huge.
