Goodbye Bass Pro; Hello, IKEA

I say now that Bass Pro is officially gone (and I don't believe that they were actually going to be here anyway) the Powers That Be should try to get an IKEA to replace it.

Their food is ok; we had it in Orlando. Once the novelty wears off after about two visits, it's nothing special. And it's awkward to go alone lol. The best thing is their crazy drinks....you can basically get whatever you want. Chocolate Coke is better than it sounds.

Some of them (or other dinners) have car show nights, have those, and then, Also since this is catering to cars have a Drive In.......... Yes you could have food roller skated out to you at the drive, how awesome would that be??????

And Pittsburgh's too much of a hike to make it worthwhile. The other ideas you guys have floated are great too but who are we kidding...Canalside will look like Main Place Mall, Main St, the Casino location, etc forever thanks largely in part to NIMBYs.
