    I take that back. They may keep it closed because of the Arts Festival. Seems like a good idea in the future anyway once the front of the Devon campus is done.

    No, you were right. It and Robinson between Main and Park open tomorrow.

    They must be getting close to opening Hudson between Park & Sheridan as well, which constitutes the western border of the Devon complex.

    What I like about that view as much as the skyline is the confirmation that OKC is not a barren treeless dustbowl city as some people picture us.

    What is sad is that many cities are treeless and dusty but they don't have that reputation (LA, Tucson, Phoenix, SLC, San Diego, San Jose, Denver, etc...)

    Thanks, Mike. That's correct. The first one was shot with a Canon 8-15mm f/4L. I don't pull that lens out very often but it's a fun one.

    Colcord Hotel to open new restaurant

    OKLAHOMA CITY – Colcord Hotel General Manager John Williams said hotel restaurants as a whole have somewhat of a bad reputation, and not without reason.

    “They usually are geared toward the local market,” he said. “They tend to be geared toward guests, they’re overpriced and they have to be all things to all people, because they have to cater to people from all over.”

    That’s why Williams wanted Flint, the new eatery slated to open on the Colcord’s ground floor next month, to have a separate entrance from the hotel lobby.

    “We wanted it to be a restaurant that happens to be in a hotel,” he said.

    Teams of construction workers were busy Friday putting the finishing touches on the interior of the new restaurant, which will feature black walnut floors and walls and a new, open kitchen where diners can watch the food being prepared.

    The restaurant space is undergoing a complete overhaul that will include patio seating overlooking the Myriad Gardens and a new entrance outside the hotel at the corner of Sheridan and Robinson avenues.

    Also part of the renovations is a new ballroom called Terrace, which will overlook the Myriad Gardens and seat 160 guests, and a patio with an open-air bar and fountain.

    Williams said he hopes to have the patio open in July.

    Contractor Holder-Flintco, the same team that is building the new Devon Tower, is overseeing the renovations. Devon Energy acquired the hotel in 2008.

    The restaurant is slated to open May 17 with a menu featuring local food products, including fresh beef from Hobart and Oklahoma-made peach butter. The menu will also feature fresh seafood flown in daily.

    Vast and Flint. Odd names. Still, it's nice to have another downtown option. I must say I really miss having La Baguette nearby though.

    Denver is hardly tree-less.

    Barely, they get about 10 inches of rain (precipitation) a year. Very dry and very barren on the east side.

    Vast, Flint and Nebu... All a bit on the odd side.


    I'm really looking forward to the patio at Flint as it should be a really nice setting overlooking the MG.

    Maybe we could have the Mos Eisley Cantina for the unopened location in the Myriad Gardens.
