MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Reuters) - The Memphis Pyramid, a former sports and concert arena and Mississippi River landmark which has sat largely idle for 11 years, has reopened this week as a retail and entertainment complex which the city hopes will be a major tourist attraction.
The outdoors goods retailer Bass Pro Shops opened a "megastore" in the pyramid on Wednesday evening - which includes shopping, a bowling alley, restaurants, hotel and an observation deck. The work was financed with the help of more than $150 million in city and state funds.
