Doesn't matter on my end. They seem to build them in equal distances from me.

I always thought a BPS would have been better suited in NE Indiana instead of Portage/Toledo. Hopefully the widening of HW24 from Ft. Wayne to Toledo gets done quick...fast trip for me.

Cabelas earnings are less than expected so they decided to hold off on the new cabelas

I saw on yahoo news that they also backed up the construction date on another locale because of a slow up in the economy. I don't see how all the outdoor retailerscan do it anyway. Within the last couple of years I've had a Cabelas, Scheels, and Bass Pro all built within 30 minutes of me. (Omaha-Council Bluffs)I think alot of the outdoor retailers have expanded way too fast lately trying to keep their share of the pie. But I think the pie is shrinking. I use to always look forwardto stopping at Cabelas in western Nebraska. I still do stop, but its not such a big deal anymore with so many other Cabelas around the country.

I remember going to the original Cabela's in Sidney, NE when it was in theold buildings in town.
Now I've got one 20 min. away in KCK.
Ilove/hate that place...................

The Hammond Cabelas was a solid flop. Within weeks they were laying people off.
