does anyone else miss the old steinbergs under the bridge in baton rouge

I loved it as a kid, I wonder how my memory would hold up compared to today's superstores...

There is a picture online...

I worked in the arctic and had an inuit as ‘wildlife monitor”. So on day one I see the lee enfield rifle he had and yep it was from the great war – after WW1 the Cdn govt gave surplused lee enfields to inuit etc and lets say it was well used. The rifle was beat to sh**te so I asked the ‘monitor” to put a round in a stump that was 75yds away – he dead centred it and became my new best friend.
He said the last time he used the gun was a few days earlier on a seal hunt – he brought some muktuk the next week (its rotted blubber) but I passed – I took a sniff but no way I could eat it.

Never saw a bear while I worked up there

that big bear was the shite ......

the old "smell" of the wood was always in my head whenever we left ....

I always wanted to go and look at the Bear. I remember some type of artillery gun in the front as well.
