Any idea what they are building in front of Ross, next to GNC, and next to Warren Theater?

I wish that place is shut down, my father and I tried Ricky's years ago and it has the worst mexican food we ever tasted

i know bleah, I wonder how the noise will be at that biker super store? All they need now is a bar nest to the shop then we would have a biker resort..Nothing against bikers, but what a crazy location next to all the restaurants that are planned and the movie theater.. Seems like it will be outof place, like the tractore supply store by shoe carnival and kohls

Jesseda - I don't think it will be a big deal. If you notice at I-40 & Council (I think), that whole development over there, they have a new HD store too. I think I've heard it's a nicer store than this one but I think it won't be bad to have a HD store there. Just my thought ...

You think it is just bikers that like Harley? I bet the majority of the purchases are from weekend warrior middle class guys. Those are the demographic that will be shopping in the area. Don't always judge a book by it's cover,

Let me see now..A few years ago I would probably thought the same thing about Bikers...But now that we own a Bike...
We are members of Star Touring and Riding. An National and International Bike Association that promotes safe and family Bike riding...We also support Feed the Children. It is a Yamaha based Group, although not being picky like the HOGS, we allow all bikes in. Our first bike was a Yamaha, now we have a Harley Ultra Classic..
The president of Chapter 378 is now A Police officer from Midwest City. The Pres that we did have that started the Chapter owns his own Insurance Company...
Our Doctor rides a Harley.

Have you been to the New Harley World on I40and Rockwell. It is a showcase...

Also the new name for Bryan Harley Davidson is "Fort Thunder"

Oh one more thing about the restruarants in the area...
It seems like our Chapter loves to eat...We always ride to eat it seems, so I can only imagine that they will love Us...

Heard that Falcones Italian Restaurant is looking to open a place. They have some good stuff and it is by far the closest thing in the metro to true Italian food.

It is a rather large looking building, directly south.

Ricky's is going to move again? They just moved into the old Berkley's location in the same complex as Quizno's

Granted, moving back near Ross would be a better location, but I can't imagine them wanting to move again.

I'm also with DVDFreaker....I've had some bad mexican food in my time and their's is near the top (or is it bottom) of the list.

That they are! And lunch is just as busy.

My ex mother-in-law works there and when I saw her up there during lunch one time, she mentioned there was a short period of about two weeks where the evening and weekend crowds did die down some, but after that, it's been virtually non-stop.

Haha, I respect your opinion, but having what amounts to a destination, luxury motorcycle joint establish in a nice building is good for the entire city. There are groups of people, from bikers to wealthy enthusiasts, that want to get a Harley TShirt from whatever city they visit. I hope Bryan builds a great one. If it's good enough for Scottsdale (and every other substantial city in the country), then it's good enough for OKC. Just my opinion.

Intrepid...They only moved over to Berkley's temporarily until their building is done...I'm assuming they wanted to doze their old bldg well before the new one would be completed...Waiter told my wife they hate it over at the Berkley's location

I'm not a fan of that place either...Much prefer Alfredo's if I'm sticking close to home, but at least the new build will be much nicer to look at than that craphole they were in

So you guys are saying that the building directly south of Warren Theatre is going to be a Harley joint?

Because it's HUGE, and there are cinderblock walls dividing the interior of that building into what looks like longitudinal thirds.

If you are ever out by I 40 and Rockwell, check out the brand new Harley World...
It is huge and really decked out...and we bought our daughter a bike there, they have a special room that they bring it out in and they go over all the features of the Bike and then you ride it out of the room and into the parking lot...

The new name of Moore's Store is Fort Thunder Harley Davidson, the old name was Bryan Harley Davidson...

Hearsay is so entertaining ... I heard it was NOT going to have a restaurant. Others - new ones I guess - do have restaurants in them or some of them do. However, I heard this was a company-owned store and they were not doing that ... seems like they said there were a lot of headaches with the cafe/grill inside or whatever it is. I've never been in a HD store that has a restaurant so not sure.

Since I'll probably never own a Harley, I see no reason for me to go in there...So I'll take your word for it :)

Today was a good day for me

Took my usual route northward past JCPenney expecting to be in a 10 car line at the stop sign and what did I see

They finally made the middle lane a left turn lane as well onto 19th so it now matches the west side exit

Hallefreakinlullah

I just can't understand why it took them so long to figure that out

Appreciate it who ever got it done!

I noticed that too...Still just a bandaid on the problem that is the fact that the (brand new) intersection was designed by monkeys.

Is anybody besides me excited about "Pho Lau" In that new little small section of shops coming in just south of Panda express and Rusty's? It is the only store out of those connected stores off the service road right there that actually has a name title on it. I love Pho! I go to the one off of NW 23rd and Classen in the Asian district, and have also been to the one on 89th and Penn. Definitely fun to eat if you like Vietnamese food and to try something different! I'm glad I won't have to drive so far to get it for lunch!

Since Pearls has a little cash on hand from the sale of their location on S. Penn it would be wise of them to throw some down for one of the 4 restaurant spots to the south of Alfredo's

That would be very nice

In boozing news...Looks like the Mooney's Pub on Indian Hills has a Now Hiring sign...Hope it opens before my wife and I have our first kid in November cause I know I won't be going for a good while afterwards

JR's has another location on the east I-35 service road in Norman, in the old Krispy Kreme location.

It is owned by good ole J.R. (Jim Ross) of WWE fame.

I personally have not eaten there yet, but have heard good things from several people.

kevinpate
06-17-2008, 09:38 AM
JR is Jim Ross, long long long time wrestling announcer, dating back to early 80's, perhaps before, but he was the color voice for the group headed by Cowboy Bill Watts out of Bixby, mid-south may have been the name. He was with others until he hit WWF, now WWE I understand.

May originally be from Norman, may not, but I do think the Norman store was his first permanent location. there was at least one mobile setup before he took over the old KK location there by the westside Wally world.

I haven't eaten there, but i hear it's along the lines of what you'd expect for small chain bbq. Me, I'm a big fan of Vann's Pig Stand and of the Red Zone, which is as good, at times better in my opinion, as Bob's in Ada, and Bob's is always very excellent, so that saying something.

Jesseda
06-17-2008, 09:41 AM

I ate at JR's last week in Norman for the first time. The food was good, but, way overpriced for the amount of food you got. Just my 2cents worth.

MrZ
06-17-2008, 01:40 PM
JR's in Norman is pretty good food for a decent price. I will try the Moore location as it is a bit closer for me. Always nice to walk into a "themed" restaurant and have the owner wave hello and ask how your food was when you are done. Had that happen a few times.

Jesseda
06-17-2008, 01:57 PM
well it sounds good to me, I will try it once it opens, I am so glad we now have selection of places to eat at in moore. 10 years ago it was mainly fast food.. Now all we need is a good seafood and cajun food place in town..Now i am just waiting on the best buy to open in moore, then there is almost no reason to shop in norman or okc, unless it special items from certain gift stores.

From what I was told, Hooters looked at moving to Moore but nothing ever came of it and it appears to not be happening. As far as seafood, a RUMOR was a Papa Deux's was looking at moving here. Take into account, restaurants will look at moving in and rumors will abound with nothing materializing. Take the Papa Deux's with a grain of salt as I heard about it approx. 2 months ago and have heard nothing since.
