The last post here was 06-04-2016? How sad!

Without a doubt, Taco Casa is the best thing to hit OKC since Taco Tico, or, what as another poster noted, Taco Bell used to be like when they still used fresh ingredants back in the 80's. Well...

One thing to hate about OKC, the late summer heat dome.

Wow, I always get a kick of getting last word (at least for a while) on this forum. . I have to say, it is a shame that it has fallen out of favor. . of course the problem is that as of 2023,...

Amazing. . a 5 year old thread and no one mentioned El Fenix. . which originally started at 23rd and Broadway. It closed and opened in Crossroads mall when it opened. Humble opinion, it was the...

Hey Pete,

Thanks for the information. Not exactly something I really want within 2 miles of my home, but "progress" waits for no man! I will admit, at least Copart runs a cleaner (apparently)...

I was headed down Grand Blvd in SE OKC, (between 15th and 29th streets), and noticed the property is now undergoing extensive earth moving. The property had been empty and abandoned for literally...
