Inside Look At New Downtown Bass Pro Pyramid, Big Cypress Lodge And ... - MyFox Memphis

After a decade of planning, preparation and construction, the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid will open Wednesday night, April 29.

On Good Morning Memphis Monday morning viewers received the first real look inside.

There's a lot more to see before the grand opening party Wednesday night.

Tuesday morning on Good Morning Memphis, Tom Dees and Darrell Green went inside the Ducks Unlimited Waterflowing Center.

While this is supposed to bring millions to Memphis, what about the Pinch District?  Will it be revitalized as promised?

FOX13's Les Smith will give you the timeline on how this began 10 years ago and how we got here this week tonight on FOX13 News at 5.
