View Full Version : establishments youre addicted to
evh5150 08-07-2009, 05:50 AM business establishments youre addicted to.
For some, the word addiction may implicate a rather strong statement, so you can simply refer to it as establishments you visit quite frequently.
this can be a restaurant, a department store, hardware store, sports store, electronics store, etc, etc, etc.
my list in no order would be:
Best Buy
Walmart
Half Price Books
Pei Wei
7-11
Braums

Iron Starr
onthestrip 08-07-2009, 06:56 AM I'm not really addicted to any retail store, mostly restaurants, but i go in phases. When Falcones first opened I was there 3 times a week. Then last winter I was eating Pho Hoa all the time and now I visit the taco joint Los Comales very, very frequently.

mmonroe 08-08-2009, 02:30 AM wow.. why is everything listed as somewhere in okc, norman, edmond, moore, or the sorts, but i never hear anything about mwc except for the pink swirl. does everyone think mwc is some sort of dirty town?
evh5150 08-08-2009, 05:28 AM wow.. why is everything listed as somewhere in okc, norman, edmond, moore, or the sorts, but i never hear anything about mwc except for the pink swirl. does everyone think mwc is some sort of dirty town?
no. mwc isnt a dirty town. but lets make sure others dont discover hidden gems in mwc such as chequers, pelicans, jersey mikes, ..to name a few.
but to further answer your question. commericial retail tends to follow suit with where the affluent and upper middle class reside. companies spend big bucks researching demographics before deciding where to break ground on construction at. mwc's economy took a huge nosedive when general motors closed, despite revitalization efforts along 29th street.
mmonroe 08-08-2009, 02:59 PM so why did they choose mwc over somewhere else to place a cheddars if not for a better economic up climb? I think that thought is flawed in some respects.

never. if theres one thing mwc will support timelessly..its a good eating place.

kevinpate 08-12-2009, 06:22 PM taco bell 99 cent menu, cheap dasterdly chowhound that I am
DaveSkater 08-19-2009, 08:34 AM Dot Wo's on Portland and the Greek House on Campus Corner when I go to Norman. Johnnie's burgers, too.
Take a gun with you when you visit Dot Wo's Mug.... I used to live down the street from there.
Seriously.
My picks are:
Pho and vermicelli bowls from Golden Palace
Braums (for milk)
Souper Salad
KhaZanna (sp?)
Gopuram
Olive Branch
Lido's
And Walmart, which is like crack. You keep going back to it, even tho you know you'll hate yourself for it afterward. LOL
icecold 08-19-2009, 10:27 AM Iron Starr---get it to go all the time
Los Comales---the most satisfying meal in the city
The Sip---not sure I am "addicted" to it, but me and my alcohol loving friends seem to be there all the time.
nik4411 08-19-2009, 10:38 AM Tacoville on sw29th. best burritos in the city. their hot sauce is great
MsDarkstar 08-19-2009, 11:02 AM Tacoville on sw29th. best burritos in the city. their hot sauce is great
oh hell yes. Mmmm...now I know where to go for lunch today!
kmf563 08-19-2009, 12:53 PM LOVE tacoville.
decepticobra 08-19-2009, 02:44 PM taco bell 99 cent menu, cheap dasterdly chowhound that I am
wendys had the best 99 cent menu in the 1990's, then items starting climbing up in price and jumped off that menu onto other menus. now their value menu is hardly the same as it was before.
nik4411 08-21-2009, 12:04 PM LOVE tacoville.
Isn't that place just the best? So simple, yet so delicious. When my dad first started with Halliburton 30 years ago he and the guys would eat there all the time, so he got to know the owner...when he's in town the owner still recognizes him.
MSDarkstar, did you try it out? Or have you been before?
MsDarkstar 08-21-2009, 01:39 PM nik4411 - I wasn't able to get down there for lunch Weds but I've been there many many times. It's one of my favorite places. Was talking with a friend of mine not too long ago & we joked that we think the reason the food is so good is because they haven't changed their grease out since the day they opened....it's finally good & seasoned! lol
nik4411 08-21-2009, 10:30 PM haha that could be it! i was there today and wow was it good
decepticobra 08-23-2009, 05:32 AM pei wei is rather addictive. they need to build more of them. nothing like eating authentic chinese food and having a chocolate chip cookie for dessert.
yeah, im being facetious.
at least i hope you recognize that i am. i wouldnt want you to really believe Confucius had handwritten my fortune in my cookie in the Pei Wei kitchen just moments before i got it.
kevinpate 08-23-2009, 06:30 AM perhaps he held the hand of the one what did. But, perhaps not. If I were an ancient spirit, I'd sure hope my eternity wasn't spent hanging out in a fast food kitchen.
possumfritter 08-23-2009, 10:48 AM All these raves about "Tacoville"...I am gonna have to try it this week.
As far as an addiction...I'll have to say "All American Pizza."
