I thought the food was pretty good. There was a surprising selection too. Not a diet friendly menu though.

Kind of like Seasons Restaurant in Merrillville on 73rd and Taft.

If anyone is considering Dustie's, they have a Groupon. $16 for one $22.98 meal or $30 for two.

High school fencing season is in full swing again.

Its also that time when kids ask for letters of recommendations for colleges and scholarships.

If you have a child entering or in high school do their teachers/coaches/bosses a huge favor.

Have your child make up a "student resume" so they can provide their teachers/coaches/bosses a list of activities that they participate in, jobs they have/had, etc. When we write your children letters of recommendation we only know a SMALL PART of your child's life. The letters we write for your students are better if we know MORE information rather than LESS information.

Guy at Bass Pro said the new owner plans on mothballing the Cabela's location.

The most dangerous time for an employee is the first couple days in a new shop.
With Resource Sharing, everyday becomes the most dangerous, because everyday you're in a new shop.
Then, in case that's not enough, let's work him 70 to 90 hour weeks.

He's a welder, electrocuted. We just had a motor inspector electrocuted in June.

Gotta say I'm bummed out at this news. I'm a very satisfied Cabela's customer and their Hammond location is a lot closer for me that the Bass Pro in Portage. I often buy from Cabela's online as I get email alerts for sales and special deals (for Club members) and have the stuff shipped for free to Hammond for pickup. Recently I got two knives of retail value $160 for $25 and two scopes retailing for about $250 for $100 (after discounts and $30 Bushnell rebate). When in the Hammond store I always hit the Bargain Den; I've found some really great deals in there. Like the time I bought two Pietta BP revolvers, an engraved nickel 1851 Navy 44 Sheriff and an 1858 Remington 44 Sheriff for less than half their retail value.

Not much to do but hope Bass Pro doesn't screw it up.

I thought about this today and I don't think they will close the Cabela's. It is closer to the population center.

I don't ever shop at either. Could care less if they all closed. It would actually be a plus... Alot less harder for kids to buy camo stuff to stick on their trucks.

 

[ItchySides]

I haven't really bought anything at either. Just a transfer once. I'd rather go to Blythes if I'm not shopping online.

Plus how long has the hammond cabelas been opened?
IIRC hammond gave them a tax break for several years which may or may not be up by now. Im thinking it is since it seems like forever that the store went up.

is that sort of like "the IN LIFETIME LTCH is going away tomorrow. It's true because the guy in the gun store told me so!"

So, what should have been a local story somewhere is blown up by the national media and we get a string of copy cats, mostly pranksters. Awesome.

 

[Ballstater98]

Every year about this time. Every year.
