I was in dire need to kill some time before my street hockey game in the West End Kroger parking…read morelot, so I stopped at Cabela's near the horrid, maniac-filled South Ridge shopping center. At first, I had high hopes, but as soon as I pulled in, my pupils were confused by the parking lot's green stop signs. Every single stop I've ever seen elsewhere is the same color as my head after putting Rectal Rocket Fuel hot sauce on my crisps, so I didn't even stop. Green means go away! After that confusing ordeal, I walked inside and was greeted by a respectful young lad who was desperate for me to sign up for the store's rewards program. The gentlemen behind me budged at least, so the employee got his commission for the day. The GM won't be seeing my email on the monthly sign-ups report that he'll probably send to the regional fatcat. This slice of my pie is mine. Everything here is so expensive. The one walleye in the fish tank told me he doesn't even get an employee discount on the live bait. To make matters worse, I couldn't find a hockey stick for the game later either. They have a nice selection of Rugers in the Gun Library, though. I didn't buy anything, so I took a leak at the loo, admired the nice variety of outdoor cooking equipment and kayaks, and left. I'll be back when Planet Fitness turns back into Toys R Us.

Cabela's for the win. My son is 15 years-old and when I saw the littles lining up to get their…read morepictures taken with Santa, it reminded me of when mine was that tiny, too. I snuck over and asked the ladies if it was okay if my teen could get his picture taken, too. They were so kind. They told me people of all ages 0 to 70+ get their pictures with Santa. They have a lot of adults. It took some convincing, but I told my son this would be the best present ever. It was great. The packages were reasonable. The girls said I could take as many pictures and videos that I want. Santa was a real sport about it. The pictures turned out better than I ever imagined. You get a free 4x6 even if you don't buy a package. They took multiple poses of my son, so I bought a package for one pose and got freebies of the others. They also send you holiday videos with each pose for free. Hands down, this was the best place we'd ever went to for Santa pics. We went yesterday around 1 after my son's orthopedic surgeon appt (he plays football for Riverside and got injured this year). There was virtually no crowd at this time. Highly recommend!

Each certificate was carefully placed in a document protector as well. I'm very happy with the quality of my certificates and customer service provided. Thank you SG USN ret

YES! We wanted something interesting to do on our annual drive down to our Florida coast vacation…read more We simply added a day and zigged out to Kentucky for a little outdoor adventure. First tip - get there early so you can explore the general area. We had a little time, so we hiked to Balanced Rock for some great views and some photo ops. "Gorge Underground" is an abandoned limestone mine (where they accidentally struck water and flooded it beyond use). Luckily, it's great for a kayaking adventure! Our guides were super nice and very informative. With one in front, and one bringing up the rear, you were free to wander (just a little) versus single-file through a boring tour. The experiences is just really cool. At one point, we ended up in the farthest-in part of the cave, and we all turned off our headlamps. Pitch dark. The guide had some funny stories, but then asked if it was anyone's birthday coming up (it was my son's in a couple days). So we all sang happy birthday to him (but he couldn't be embarrassed - it was dark and nobody knew who he was!). After finishing our 90 minute tour, it was time to dock. My wife and I lagged behind to be the last ones out, giving us probably 10 extra minutes of "taking it all in". One regret is that we didn't plan ahead enough to get the clear kayaks with LED lights. That would have been another layer of "cool". I would recommend to anyone. The water is still as can be, so it's a gentle paddle that anyone can do.
