One other thing that might be instructive to those who keep bringing up relocating Full Circle Books (which I personally have great affection for and would love to see as much as anyone) is that the owner, Jim Tolbert, already owns multiple buildings in downtown and specifically in Bricktown. He has been deeply involved in the redevelopment of Bricktown nearly since the Neal Horton days, and is a downtown treasure.

Since we opened the Emporium in 2007 he has been kind enough to partner with us on our Oklahoma-themed book collection. When we opened the marketplace in 2010, we actively sought him out and offered him space in one of our large booths, hoping he would do a scaled-down version of Full Circle. After a lot of thought he politely declined.

If he desired to move Full Circle to Bricktown, he would have done it already.
