    Re: HUGE NEWS! Clay Bennett & Co. buy Supersonics!

    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...

    Re: Sonics Might Give OKC a New Image

    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...

    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...

    Re: Pete's Piano Bar

    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...

    Re: Okc Trains & Trolleys History

    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.

    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.

    Re: Hot rumor: Ruth Chris Steakhouse to Founder's Tower

    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...

    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...
