While shopping at the Sports Authority store on Park Lane at Central Expressway, looking for size 8.5-Wide metal baseball cleats (we didn’t find any), the clerk told me that Dick’s Sporting Goods is moving into one of the empty spaces next to Best Buy just up Central towards Walnut Hill. I’ve never been in a Dick’s, but I see the ads all of the time, and I’m looking forward to Sports Authority having some competition for neighborhood sporting dollars. I still miss Wally and the Play It Again Sports store at Mockingbird and Abrams, in terms of finding good deals on sporting equipment and also disposing of the extra stuff we’ve accumulated as the parents of two boys who have participated in a lot of sports over the years. Dick’s apparently is hiring; here’s a link, if you’re interested or know someone who would be.
