The Town & Country Shopping Center is about to be transformed, but their shop isn’t going anywhere. BY DAN MACDONALD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As the Town & Country Shopping Center in Arlington transforms into College Park with new lighting, parking and landscaping, one element will remain constant. Arlington Bait & Tackle Fishing will stay open. Specializing in fishing from
rods, reels, clothing to live bait, husband-and-wife co-owners Bill and Carmen Lamb will continue to serve the market, including those who use the boat ramps near the store. The Lambs have been in business in the Arlington area for 17 years, the last 11 in the oncethriving Town & Country ShopSEE FISHING, PAGE 2
