Bring on the competition...Could only be good for the prices...I'm a little afraid what it might do to the little guy though.

BASS PRO IN BUFFALO

I personally think it's going to flop.There's no place to park or put all those boats they have outside.But, the state GAVE them $67 million to come here.My taxes are going up,sales tax is going to be 9.25% in Erie co and WE GAVE away $67 million to have them come to Buffalo and open in a neglected building with no parking in a city that no one will go to after dark.Well,good luck because I think they will need it.Buffalo died because of bad polititians and high taxes.This is not going to solve the woe's of this area.JUst my opinion.

At least Buffalo snatched $67million that  probrably would have been wasted in New York City anyway. :-D  

Then comes Joel Giambra and his 1% sales tax increase. It might do the county some good after he pays the state back the $67 mil. :lol:

All kidding aside I hope it does work out for the city. It needs some type of draw. Hopefully they'll do it up right and draw in people who would otherwise just bypass Buffalo.
