Academy Sale!

[WestEndAngler]

Academy at Campbell and I-10 on the south side of the freeway is having a big clearance sale. They are moving their location after 20+ years down to Bunkerhill & I-10 next to the new HEB.

They have good prices on Topwater Baits, selection is thinning out I think the word is out

[Muddskipper]

I remember when that location burned down, back in the early 80's...

The fire dept. could not do much becasue of ammo going off...

Thats when Academy was known for army surplus ..... we used to go in there and play with the rambo knives and the dummy grenades .... those were the day....

[JT]

I remember that too Muddskipper. And I also remember when I was in school in Austin that the Academy there was nothing but army surplus and I believe that was the original store.

[WestEndAngler]

Its been there since I can remember... I lived around the corner growing up... Academy & Cut Rate (FTU) even a Carters Crountry just down the street!! What more could a kid ask for?

Those were the days... I think I was 50 lbs lighter too

[Muddskipper]

I remember that too Muddskipper. And I also remember when I was in school in Austin that the Academy there was nothing but army surplus and I believe that was the original store.

Not the original, that one was in SW Houston in Belliare...

But one of the first for sure....

Also the ones on Westhimer and shepard (no longer there)
I-45 and tidwell (no longer there)

I dont know about the original Academy sports and outdoors store but the original Academy (which is the daddy of Academy sports and outdoors was originally in Austin or maybe San Antonio. Dammit Muddskipper, this is important to me because I dated a super model that I met at the store in Austin. She later became a multi-$$$$$aire posing nude and was featured in many many many porn flicks. She made Tom Bradys new wife look like run of the mill, worn out has been stuff.
