On a smaller scale, a fellow twentysomething AEP'er recently opened Cicero International, a full service ad agency a few months ago. There is an article from todays Oklahoman announcing the grand opening. The business section also stated many projects going in around Broadway and Britton including a new McDonalds, McBride Clinic, a broadcasting company, Sav On Meats and many many more.


Also, from downtownguy's website, the following announcements coming:

Rococo Restaurant and Fine Wine may be looking to open up in Bricktown.

OKC Business News reports that developer Randy Hogan has settled on constructing 3-story buildings with a mix of retail and 20 or so condos on top just west of the Centennial Fountain in Lower Bricktown. Some people will be disappointed in this news; the site is considered by many to be a great site for a hotel. But it’s better than office space or another 1-story restaurant building. Sketches of this can be viewed on www.lowerbricktown.com (click on the building #1 pad site).
Hogan says in the story construction could begin this summer.

The same story reports that John Q. Hammons has given up on plans to build an Embassy Suites along the canal, and will instead build a smaller 151-room Residence Inn (which was his initial plan for the site). Construction is to start in July.

Drinkz is set to open up in the old Wells Fargo building. It's perhaps the most historic property down there. If you're a preservationist, get a look at the door facing Reno before it's too late. I hope that putting a club in this building won't ruin it.
