APtravelnews-April 8th, Rustico in Port St. Lucie, West, FL.–Cuisine, authentic cuisine of every country is definitely a treat to me and Barb! Flavors (sabors) of often unique spices, seafood’s, fish and preparations of “everything island” is what we just found at Rustico.

This is a nice and airy, restaurant with lots of smiling wait staff and dishes you most definitely would have to boat or fly to Puerto Rico to experience.  WOW! what a great luncheon meal! a pork platter, a platter of beef stew, both with perfect rice, sweet plantains, red beans with potatoes, and both dishes enough for an extra meal tomorrow! We also had a real Puerto Rican Flan dessert made with Guava flavor and very interestingly different from our regular Cuban Flan-we loved it too! We found out that the family of Umberto Torres, his wife and mom are from a 5th generation family in the coffee business called Cafe Lareno. We took some home too! Rustico Chef Steve Beerly did a fine job of laying out our lunch feast that everyone that visits Rustico will enjoy. They are open for Breakfast and Lunch from 7 am to 3 pm every day. Rustico is located next door to Berry Fresh on Port St. Lucie West Blvd. at 1724 SW St. Lucie, West Port St. Lucie. Phone them at 772- 333-0776

Manager named for new Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid store opening May 1 in Memphis, Tennessee

APtravelnews–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again”- January 14th, Memphis, TN.-Katie Mitchell Bass Pro Shops Communications Manager let us know that David Hagel will lead team of more than 600 at the Pyramid—one of Bass Pro Shops largest investments to date.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — David Hagel has been named store manager for the new Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid store, which opens May 1 in Memphis, Tennessee.  Hagel has been the store manager for the Bass Pro Shops Sportsman’s Warehouse store located on Macon Road in Memphis for the past 12 years.

“Growing up in this area, I know that residents and visitors alike have dreamed of standing at the top of the Memphis Pyramid,” said Hagel.  “I am absolutely thrilled to be part of the team making this dream come true.”

Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops, has said the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid store is “one of the most dynamic, immersive retail destination stores in the world.”  At 535,000 square feet, it will be one of the largest retail stores in the world under one roof, and one of the company’s largest investments to date.

In addition to vast assortments of outdoor gear, the new mega store will feature many diverse, unique features including an interactive national Waterfowling Heritage Center in partnership with Ducks Unlimited; the popular Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill; Big Cypress Lodge—a 100-room grand hotel; 600,000 gallons of water features; a cypress swamp with 100-foot-tall trees; and the largest free-standing elevator in America—25 stories and open all four sides.

“For the first time, the public will be able to travel up 300 feet to the apex of the Pyramid, stand on cantilevering glass-floored outdoor observation decks, and take in sprawling riverfront views,” said Hagel.  “It’s the little things done right that add up to big rewards and excitement.”

Hagel went on to say that the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid store will offer fishing, boating, camping, hiking, and hunting gear, and the largest assortment of waterfowl and related hunting equipment ever assembled.
