Bass Pro – Read Between the Lines

From a WGRZ story:

It’s not supposed to open until 2010, but Bass Pro is pushing to get a store built sooner.

Jordan Levy with the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation told Erie County lawmakers the company is excited about building a store where the aud now sits.

Levy told lawmakers Bass Pro owner Johnny Morris told him he wishes the store could open next year, but the Aud won’t be demolished until then.

“The remediation will be completed on or before September 30th of this year. The demolition will begin shortly thereafter. Hopefully days thereafter. That will take roughly six months. So, its probably that the Aud will not be completely demolished until sometime in March or April of 2009,” said Levy.

Levy also told lawmakers other retail and entertainment tenants are interested in being part of the Canalside project. More information about that will come out this fall.

Translation: Hey, Buffalo, hurry. the. f*ck. up. Not everyone likes to wait forever to get stuff done. Love, Johnny Morris. PS: I still haven’t signed any contract yet.
