Dang!
Academy is a sporting goods outfit?
Academy rocks 😎 especially the one in Corpus.
Academy in this area used to rock years ago
when they first opened. For at least the last
decade or so they've been succumbing to the
modern business model of McDonald's and
trying to be everything to everybody.
I see the local academy stores going the
way of Cullum & Boren that used to be here.
They really did rock for sure for years until
the business management degree philosophy
dug into the jugular and drained the once
great store to an empty husk.
That's why I patronized the old mom&pop
sporting goods stores around here until
they dried up and blew away.
You sure didn't have to wade through a
display of kid's jockstraps and soccer cleats
to find some arrow nocks or some
mantels for your Coleman lanterns.
And the people working there knew what
they were talking about and could hang
with anybody when it came to hunting
fishing or camping.
