They have about 10-15 retail spaces depending on the size of the tenants; a few of those might be small food places. They have all the Phase II space which will likely be all restaurants. There...

The bike path (the infamous 'sharrow' markings, anyway) runs down Youngs right near OAK.

From there, Youngs runs south and under I-44, so cyclists can make the passage safely.

The building permit was just filed for Mesero.

The pace is really going to accelerate at this development as everyone is aiming to open this fall.

Awesome. Thanks so much Tony G!

They are both big steps in the right direction.

You can't get to where you want OKC to be without these types of moves.

This shows the destroyed Homeland with the Dollar Tree warehouse behind:

There is a massive Dollar Tree distribution center that was destroyed.

They must employ several hundred people there, which is a big deal for such a small community.

And even Tesla continues to have issues with quality control.

BTW, Hyundai just this week launched a brand new modular line of EV work vehicles, where a standard chassis and cab can accommodate...

You are not giving enough credit to Classen Curve. Almost every single store has turned over in just the last five years and virtually every current tenant is a nice, new-to-market store. This...

You'll see about another 10-15 new-to-market retailers at OAK in the near future.

And the list at Classen Curve is already quite long and they are just now starting construction to expand.

I know the developer of OAK well and we've even had several conversations about the retailers they should target. He gave me a long list of new-to-market, upscale stores that have already declined...

Thanks, I added it.

This is a completely false narrative (Tulsa gets stores first) that is easily disproven:

OKC v. Tulsa Retail

I'm done with this discussion -- best wishes to you.

Wow.

There is a construction fence around the western fountain, with "Here we grow again" signage.

Looks like the fountains will soon be no more.

And you can see in the drone footage that the historic Artesian Hotel (owned/renovated/operated by the Chickasaws) looks like it was spared.

There has been conjecture that the few complete vehicles they have produced were not even assembled in OKC.

With fledgling public companies, you often never know the full truth because they lean...

Good thing they shut down the entire Arts Festival at 2 PM today, effectively killing the busiest day of what is now only a 4-day event.

Severe weather is a big part of our identity and culture. We have the NWS and the best school of meteorology. Two Twister movies have been filmed and set here. When I lived in California there...

I'm not saying NWS should adjust their criteria and I'm sure they haven't, it's just the media and the general public are more focused on any single weather event simply because they are far...

I fully realize all of this prognosticating is incredibly complex, but it seems as we have less and less severe weather (which appears to be a strong trend over the last several years) we become more...

The problem is that everyone wants to compare our offerings to Dallas or L.A. which are the very biggest consumer markets in the country.

Because of the high prevalence of locally-owned men's...

OKC has always been a place that has relied on really good men's stores rather than department stores.

Mr. Ooleys and Steven Giles along with Alton's in Edmond are darn good. Rye 51 has a...

It has to be said that Dillard's -- and especially the two large stores at Penn Square -- is darn good. Von Maur, too.

I used to love Nordies when I lived in L.A. and had to wear a suit every day...
