You do realize there is a Bass Pro in the Montgomery area, right....Nope I guess not. And TN (that's Tennessee)

Really, wow....You are amazing at Geography....

Not sure what you are even trying to say here.....but continue with your BS...

Please provide the city you are talking about...with a current up to date link....

Just trying to refocus on my original post that you took to other areas.

I was referring to the size of the new Bass Pro in relation to others that people from Alabama would be most likely to shop. And it included two that are almost equally distant from Montgomery. Spanish Fort and Destin.

Perhaps you don't understand the dynamics of overlapping market areas. There is one right there in the Madison County area. Many people drive from Fayetteville Tn. to shop in Madison County. They may be in another state, but they are also in the Madison County market area.

Something about my original post drew your negative attention and I regret that. And all because I am interested in the fact that Bass Pro is finally coming to Decatur.

Then you should understand the proximity of Destin to Dothan and how it's shopping options could have an effect on the people living there.

He quite literally JUST SAID that people In Dothan may choose to patronize the Bass Pro in Destin over the one in Prattville. Do you realize that Prattville is Montgomery area or are you just not paying attention?

It is quite obvious that he is talking about Mobile. I'm guessing you want to fight over whether Huntsville's metro is bigger then Mobile's. If that's the case just come out and say It rather then be coy.

Your reading comp is atrocious. Or this Is just some sort of passive aggressive attack on someone who is just adding on topic commentary to an open forum.

Since hairs are being split...according to City Data's stats, Montgomery is the second largest city in the state, followed by Mobile and then Huntsville.

There is a difference between largest city and largest metro. Montgomery is definitely not the 2nd largest metro area in the state. There is legitimate debate whether Huntsville or Mobile is second, depending on what counties are included/excluded. Huntsville is second as of now, but the thinking is that Baldwin gets added back to Mobile if I'm not mistaken or some other technicality about which counties should be included where.

I responded to what you wrote, you don't like what I wrote, don't write what you did...pretty simple.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, because I answer your questions with snide ass remarks, such as you did to me, I don't know something....

And please, tell me what Madison County you are talking about? I want to be sure...because the Madison County I live in does NOT have a Bass Pro....

Maybe the people around you are just used to you putting them down on a daily basis....and they just ignore all your remarks....

Your post absolutely drew 100% of my attention because of your snide remarks, all from my 2 word response...you thought you had to put me in my place, tell me about geography and other things that had ZERO to do with my response...

So, again, maybe you should re-read your responses before posting them, or if they are directed at me, you will continue to get the same type/style remarks thrown right back at you....

No one knows if you are bad. But you do sound angry.
(and maybe my English syntax is not working well for the internet)
