I tried the new Catfish Cove on NW Expressway for lunch today.
The AC wasn't quite up to the heat outside + the heat from their buffet. That was a problem last summer for the Asian buffet that...
Their chicken fry is OK, but I am pretty sure the mashed potatoes were instant and so was the gravy, and that's a turnoff for me. (This was in reference to a comment about Cattleman's CFS).
My...
catch22, I am glad you can eat commercial fried chicken without blood sugar issues, but my mileage varies quite a bit. If I want fried chicken, or chicken strips, I make them at home, and bread the...
This news is depressing to me. The neighborhood already has one chicken strip joint, now we will have two. Wow. Looking at the menu, there is literally nothing that I could safely eat, being a...
Another step in the NW Expressification of NW 23rd it is then. Sigh.
The buildings on the SE Corner of NW 23rd and Penn have been torn down in the last few days and a construction fence has gone up around the property. I've lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and...
I don't know whether it was brick or concrete. If it was concrete, it wasn't a very good grade of concrete because it was showing quite a bit of wear, cracks, and etc before this recent change. I...
I drive through the NW 23rd and Penn intersection every day. The City has been working on it and among other things, they have removed the brick crosswalks which were I think funded by a 2000 bond...
This is about as McUgly as it gets. I live in Gatewood and go by this thing every day and it gets uglier every time I see it. I hope some graffitti artists tag that giant blank brown cinder block...
The Holy Angels parish community is a mix of rental housing, owner occupied housing, and commercial properties north of Reno, south of Lynwood, between Penn/Virginia and Western.
If the...
Does anyone know what's up with the apartments at NW 30 and McKinley? It's a good sized apartment complex, close to OCU. It seems to me it should be rented but its boarded up. I drive by it a lot...
if there are actual worker owned cooperatives in OKC, I'd like to know about them. Please post their names here, thanks!
More evidence of the worker owned cooperative as a tool of economic development, job creation, and social justice....
A worker-owned cooperative is a business that is owned and managed by its employees. It differs from an ESOP, where others besides the employees may be stockholders.
AFAIK, at this time there are...
Here's one of the news articles about the situation -- http://enidnews.com/localnews/x1095947050/Zaloudek-Grain-Co-fined-after-auger-accident-for-lack-of-workers-comp-insurance .
I was startled to see the news that Zaloudek Grain, which had two of its high-school-age employees severely injured in on-the-job accidents, was only fined $750 for not having workers compensation...
I went to lunch with a friend at Saints, a restaurant-pub on NW 16 in the Plaza District and the food was great. I had a "meat and vegetable" plate and the roast beef was perfect. The carrot-parsnip...
It's cheaper if you only need a car for 2-3 hours instead of all day. I thought it interesting that although the pickup site is named "Paseo" it is actually on the campus of OCU, and I don't think...
I think that if we count the dollars, we'll find that the already-developed areas of the city are subsidizing the development of virgin lands at the periphery. I am going to the meeting and hope to...
I clicked on the Event Calendar linked in the top bar, both to see what's happening and to list some events, but it looks like the only two choices are 2006 and 2007. Is this broken or is it simply...
We have no Wookies, this is Oklahoma, we have Weokies.
A little dark humor for this august occasion. . . from http://www.bobwaldrop.net/?p=869
Comrades! Commissars! Members of the State Central Committee for the Suppression of Free Enterprise and...
Anyone know what is going into the smallish 1 story building being built in front of the Weokie building on NW Expressway at N Macarthur? I asked at weokie the last time i was there and none of the...
The Young Gifted and Black Gospel Choir of Grinnell College in Iowa will present a concert today (Sunday March 20) at 5 PM at Epiphany Church, 7336 W Britton Road, Oklahoma City. Expect a mix of...
