Cabela's always drew a large crowd since it was the largest outdoor supplier in the Dallas area. This one, situated in the Allen shopping district was well known by people who didn't participate in those hobbies because it was impossible to miss. Situated right off the highway, a huge digital marquee constantly updated commuters with the latest deals and reminded the Texans that they bought used guns. A packed parking lot would glint in the sun, always packed with shoppers planning hunting, fishing and camping trips or just shopping for their next gun purchase.<br/><br/>Now, the huge parking lot stood empty save for the boats parked for sale along the side of the brown and green store and a few empty pick up trucks. The bare freeway, larger and therefore emptier parking lot across the street, and the abandoned "historical" railroad ties following the freeway made the Cabela's store look even more desolate and lonesome by comparison. Occasionally a car passed, but the days of a bustling commerce that supported the small city of Allen were long over. The only movement in the area was of a single SUV with several teenagers as they darted from the car to the Super Target across the street from Cabela's. Appearing nervous, they'd glance around at the looming Best Buy and the nearby Dicky's, making their way as quickly as possible into the abandoned store.
