Perfectly reasonable speculation and such a scenario is not unprecedented in major league sports. Oklahoma City has proven itself to be ready for the NBA from a fan base standpoint, has an adequate...

NY Bagels were among the best I've had anywhere. I was at the Casady Square location on a nearly-daily basis for a garlic bagel with lox. Each summer that I returned to Missouri from OCU Law...
This really isn't true. Bennett and his group have tried to work with the folks in Washington on an acceptable stadium deal. Bidwill never negotiated in good faith with anyone in St. Louis or the...
There was a brief article in this morning's Wall St. Journal which stated that CHK has embarked on a substantial cost-cutting campaign. It will be interesting to see whether this will have any...
Well, in fairness to Mayor Mick, it seems he's been preoccupied with other matters these days . . . like his blossoming modeling career
Mayor's Convention - Esquire
Thirty years? Try about ten to twelve if the area isn't populated by sustainable businesses. When I visited OKC in 2006 it had been 12 years since I had last been in town. Driving west on NW...
Before that it was called O'Brien's - I think that's what ParksGal was recalling. It was a pretty popular spot 16-17 years ago and was open fairly late if I remember correctly.
The ordinance is unconstitutional as it would in essence compel involuntary servitude. It might drive the exit price up, but there is absolutely no precedent whatsoever for compelling a business to...
Doug, thanks for those shots of the old 39th Street Bridge. I used to live right near there in the Stonebridge Cove development across from Lake Overholser. Ah, good times.
Downtown CBD, preferably within walking distance between the Skirvin and Colcord. Downtown OKC could certainly use a nationally recognized, high end steak house in the heart of downtown. Until and...
I remember when they were at 63rd and May. That location closed in late 90 or early 91 if I recall.
There . . . . fixed that for ya. ;-)
Looks like Lisa's giving Jemaine the "cold shoulder."
. . . . or is that Felicia?
Yeah, I'm hooked. The music sequences are hilarious. "Business Time" is downright infectious and the parody of the early 60's French musicals that they did this past week was a riot. One question...
Let's also not forget that college football has no prohibition on players sharing jersey numbers so long as they aren't on the field at the same time.
A Ruth's Chris in that location makes a lot of sense. It's in close proximity to the Marriott and Crowne Plaza and therefore right in the crosshairs of it's target market - the out-of-town expense...
Bit by bit my old OKC dining standby's are biting the dust. I'm sorry to see Beverly's go the way of the Split-T, Pump's, Doc's, Portobello, the Yippe Yi Yo Cafe and of course my late, beloved...
Hot Rod, I must agree that Starbuck's OKC strategy is a bit odd. Have they ever made an effort to put in a location - even a kiosk - at WRWA? I would think this would be a mutually desireable...
I think you're dead-on correct with respect to Starbucks. Clearly that's a business that would be foolish to think NH represents their best chance for catching on in the market. However in the...
I can assure you that Missouri has no such restrictions. Matter of fact, I was so used to buying liquor at the grocery store that I naively asked the checkout lady at the Consumers IGA at NWE and...
I remember Meiki's when it was on 39th. Can't say that I was too impressed with it myself, but then again that was also 16 years ago.
Just out of curiosity, after the relocation to NW Expressway...
You are correct . . . for now. It will be interesting to see what happens if WN moves forward with reserved seating and in-flight entertainment as is apparently being considered (at least according...
Seems like this would be a more appropriate name if the Portland Trailblazers were relocating to OKC, not the Sonics. :D
Betts, you bring up an outstanding example by invoking Baltimore in your post. Here's a city that's never actually been awarded a franchise by any of the three major leagues in which it has fielded...
It certainly couldn't hurt. I'd also toss in some sort of financial incentive to rehabilitate or develop areas along the route, especially at and around the stations where the trains will stop en...
