There are another five or six (fronting Sheridan) not in that photo.

We went to the Pop-Ups in Midtown and end up getting our tree there. I probably stop by a few more times a knock out some Christmas shopping. It's a really cool atmosphere with some great shops.

Thanks for buying your tree there. The tree lot at the midtown pop ups support Bishop John Carroll School athletics. Nick Colison bought his tree there last weekend.

Beautiful!

Does anybody know if they are open today and what hours? May get a little stir crazy later.

Closed today due to weather. Open tomorrow.

A cool (or rather cold) shot of the igloos (I mean popups) in Midtown:

Of course, this was taken yesterday, so I can't verify that after today's quake these are still standing (* dark humor *)

Ah, they tweeted it too. At 46, I'm too young for Facebook.

Just heard that the pop-up igloos / domes may become a more year-round feature at 10th & Hudson.

Would dovetail in nicely with Bleu Garten as a way for Midtown Renaissance to utilize and activate these keep empty parcels until they can turn their focus to permanent developments at those locations.

With this, Bleu Garten and Midtown Mutts, that makes 3 of their properties with temporary uses. I love that they do this to keep the lots from being vacant.

I thought that the holiday pop up shops were located on st Anthony property?

That would be awesome. I loved those things.

As has been discussed elsewhere, the Holiday Pop-up Shops that were last year located across from Saint Anthony are moving to the lot directly west of Bleu Garten on 10th in Midtown.

This used to be a sunken area that collected water; then fill from Fassler Hall was dumped here. Now, they are in the process of doing dirt work to level the property.

The website for the OKC Pop-ups (http://www.okcpopups.com/) points to a Nov. 28th opening.


Will provide great synergy with Bleu Garten.

Also visibility will be 1000x better.

That's cool. The geodesic design evokes a 'Christmas tree decoration / snowball /
igloo' type of feel. Quite appropriate to the season.

Not to mention that OKC has a certain well known geodesic dome that is being given
new life right now. Nice tie in.
I hope the domes can be lit with Christmas colors and won't be stark white.

The leveling of this property is almost finished. I have not been by yet today so it may be done. It looks infinitely better already than what was there for years. As an added bonus there are no longer cars parked in the Bleu Garden lot. 10th street has come a long way in a short amount of time. I know I get impatient for all of the empty lots to get developed but if I take inventory of everything that has been developed it is quite remarkable. There must not be much in the way of empty buildings in Midtown so the next logical step is the development of the empty lots.

From Will; they've started the prep work for the new site of the Pop-up Shops, just to the west of Bleu Garten.

I will have to contact Allison Bailey and see if they are doing the igloo looking things again somewhere else.

The igloos are going here as well.

Also, I've heard there will be a massive Christmas tree at this site.

Are they walling it in?

Okay, this is for a haunted house, not the pop-up shops.

I traded messages with Chris Fleming at MidtownR about this today and he told me it was for the Pop-ups.

The igloos ARE going up today too though... saw pictures of that.

Allison just tweeted they don't start on the shops until next month.

From the Midtown District Twitter feed:


That is the sight of Hudson Haunt, a haunted house fundraiser that will benefit cancer victims/patients.

Can't find anything about Hudson Haunt on the 'net.

The organizers of the Pop-up Shops during the holidays next to Bleu Garten will start a similar project at the same site starting in March.


An open-air market of artisans, local shops and vintage finds. Last weekend of the month, March - Sept.

The Industry Flea is open the last Friday of every month during H&8th and the following Saturday, March thru September. Vendors for each month are announced around the 15th of the month.

Industry Flea (http://www.industryflea.com/)

I was just about to post that. Beat me to it.

I'd love it if they could rope in a legit Farmer's Market into their Saturday flea market. That Farmer's Market at OSUOKC is depressing, for some reason. I think it's the warehouse.

You can see the 6 pop-up igloos taking shape in the foreground and to the right of that is the Christmas tree lot.

The OCD in me hopes they fix the spacing.
