What's happening in Yukon??

[Jon27]

Ok, I'm a Yukon resident obviously. My previous thread was "New Building in West End Pointe" It's dead....this topic in the forum is dead. I want to revive it. Let's talk about what's going on in Yukon! I read a thread from Clock4869 who said the same thing. I agree, we need to revive this!

1. We have the West End Pointe shops going in. Target, Penney's, and whatever else. Anyone have any insight?

2. We have a new building on Vandement next to the Vet that still has not been named.

3. I've heard rumors of a new High School.

4. When will 10th St. be finished?

5. Whatever else!!!

[sgt. pepper]

You live in Yukon and only heard rumors of a new high school? i thought you guys voted on a bond issue on that, and that it passed, a new high school will be built. Is this not correct?

[blckthree]

The new building on Vandement next to the Vet will be the new office for Dr. Posey's Vet. clinic.

You're right. I probably should know about that. I guess I didn't know about the bond issue. I'm too busy on OKCTalk.com.

I don't care if it is in Yukon Mustang or anywhere on the far west side but PLEASE give us a new grocery store. It amazes me that as many housing developments as there are in this area there hasn't been a new one go in yet...

Not in Yukon but there is the an IHOP and new Hotel going in on Mustang RD. Also anyone know what is going in on the SE corner of Morgan and 15th? There is a sign that shows "Financing provided by blah blah."

I'm hoping that Target will have a grocery store, but that's looking to be slim. We need a Crest! Buy for Less is a joke. Homeland is way too expensive, and so is Williams. Hey, we can talk about things in between Mustang/Yukon, and things in Mustang here too. Why not? I see Mustang is getting a Lowes. Will it be bigger than the one in Yukon?

[dalelakin]

Target will be useless in Yukon w/o grocery IMO. I would like to have either a Crest or Neighborhood Market (or whatever Walmarts grocery only is called).

Lowes looks to be about the same size as the one in Yukon to me but maybe it convince a grocer to go in next to it...

[sgt. pepper]

When i move to Mustang about 12 years ago, there was a homeland and a Larrys IGA. I personally like the IGA, much more friendlier and cheaper prices, just a better store IMO. Never liked Honeland, any Homeland. Then a Super Wal-mart came to town, IGA closed, Larry Anderson went to Homeland, and we still have only two choices. Again, just don't cars much about buying food at Wal-mart. Not that there is nothing wrong with that of course, but i just don't care for it. YES, we need another grocery store besides wal-mart and Homeland.

Morgan and 15th, is that where 7-11 and Shell is? I will have to check into that.

SuperChris, I'm not 100% sure about the bond vote, i know there is talk of a new high school. you will have to call your school board/city council and let us know.

There is a developer in Mustang that was going to build some indoor batting cages along l-40 where those hotels are, but after the failed ballpark vote in Mustang, that might be on hold. i might have to call her office to find out what her plans are now.

Lowes now owns the plats around there Mustang store, so we might start seeing some restaurants popping up...Chilies?

Yes opposite side of the street there is a "Financing provided by blah blah" sign.

The bond issue in Mustang was a travesty and the Mayor should be thrown out on his keister. Using the emergency phone tree to conjure support against the vote is pathetic and should be dealt with...

i voted for the ballpark myself. A lot of folks in Mustang is supporting the mayor over that call..."the peoples mayor". i think he put his personal feelings in front of whats best for the city, he was always against the ballfields. He now has a plan for the community to get together and build the ballpark??? He has a red bard for a concession stand. Mustand has a top notch softball complex we are pround of, and the mayor wants us to have a cheesy, half built, secound hand looking baseball complex next to it in the same park. BUT WE ARE GETTING A TACO MAYO!

[Jon27]

Anyone know what stores will be going in the new strip next to the theatre? There's one next to Wal-Mart also. They have remodeled the Chisolm West shopping center. I'm wondering if they will lease that out as office space.

[jarrington00]

I just read in the Mustang Times that an Applebee's is going in by the Lowes. There wasn't a time frame mentioned.

I also noticed an ad saying Sonic is moving to a new building on 152, anyone know where on 152?

I suspected Sonic was moving, all the Sonics were being refurbished except Mustangs. Probably move next to Lowes

This does not relate to any of you guys post but just an observation. I just moved out to the area and do business in Mustang and Yukon. Most of the buildings in Mustang even the newer ones look really cheap and ugly. There standards must be fairly low for material and design. Just going down 152 through mustang the new shopping center with Carousel Pizza, the strip with three businesses Owens Carpet, ?? Insulation, can't remember the third but the place is an eyesore. Overgrown with weeds, etc. I know it's not Edmond but if you want to grow and increase your tax base they may want to consider enforcing property maintenance and start increasing the standards for new construction. The Cobb dentist bldg is really nice and the new bank going in on Mustang Rd looks good also. Does anyone else notice all the eyesores around Mustang??

[sgt. pepper]

The drainage ditch along Mustang Rd. on the west side. They need to get rid of it or do something to make it look nice, like a very small river walk. It is after all, along the east side of the park.

Shopping center behind Arby's.

There are a few shops west of Mustand Rd, along 152 on the south side that could use some work.

Carousel Pizza's not that bad (the building anyway).

That is just a few things. Mustang has a beautifcation group, i don't think it has anything to do with the City of Mustang, who is responsible for the flower gardens at the corner of Musang Rd. and 152. They have a lack of funds and they have too much work to do.

[sgt. pepper]

I made a few calls:

Also anyone know what is going in on the SE corner of Morgan and 15th? There is a sign that shows "Financing provided by blah blah."

The finace officer told me Housing

.
The developer told me this project in in fuul swing. It will have indoor batting cages, fitness center and a gymnasium. Should be open this fall.

I also noticed an ad saying Sonic is moving to a new building on 152, anyone know where on 152?

Across the street, next to O'Reileys Auto Parts

[fire121]

The girl that owns/operates Tiny Tumblers on 152 next to the old fire station is supposed to be expanding and changing the name to "Matrix Gymnastics". The new location was also supposed to be in the area of the hotels at I-40 and Mustang Rd. This might be the same project. I have heard her business is booming and she has outgrown the former "Mustang Tractor Bldg".

[OKCREALESTATEGUY]

The new high school is being build on Mustang road and Hwy 4 near there.

[sgt. pepper]

yes, i was just fixing to post a sign i saw on Mustang Rd. "New Yukon High School" just south of the railroad tracks on the west side. Yukon is going to have to widen Mustang Rd. between Yukon and I-40.

[Jon27]

I'm glad to see Yukon is getting a new High School. I saw the sign a couple weeks ago, and have been out of town. I see there's been a lot of talk going on with Yukon/Mustang on here! Is anyone else surprised like me? All of these storms this summer. Not once have I heard the Xerox plant mentioned ONCE! That is usually the first place storms form. I guess Xerox isn't putting off the same gases anymore.

[sgt. pepper]

does al gore know about the xerox gases? xerox gases.....storms starting......sounds fishy to me.

The copiers are just a front for their weather control device.

[Jon27]

They covered up the JC Penney's sign! Is this bad?

[sgt. pepper]

Yes i drove by the other day and saw the black coverings.....that can not be good for JC Penny fans. If penny's jumps ship, i'm sure somebody will be glad to take thier place.........but who will it be????

Does anyone have any connections to find out? Everyone I've talked to doesn't know. I read another thread that said Petsmart may be coming. That's another store I spend wayyy too much money in.
