Sieber Apartments

Point taken. I get the impression that Marva had read this board before, so hopefully she'll get the message. I met her once during the SR fiasco and thought she was super nice, and I know she's well-liked within the downtown developer community.

Hello... I'm back (been off for a while): Marva doesn't visit the online forums or blogs. I'll let her know about the call. It doesn't sound like her, so I suspect there's more to this than what's being said (a missed return email or call, other modern communication glitches). I think it's jumping the gun to suggest she's unprofessional because one poster reports they didn't get a response to an inquiry.
By that measure, with all the trouble I've had the past couple weeks with lost emails and voice mails, I'm a complete amateur!

awww man, not that ol' lost email v-mail glitch story again.


On a more serious note, been enjoying what you're writing. Welcome back!

[Steve]

Thanks Kevin. But ... "awww man, not that ol' let's judge a person because one person reports they had a problem story again...." (I know Marva. She is professional, I see her repeatedly answer and return calls, and someone in this thread is a bit quick to cast judgment).

Sorry, I did not mean to overreact. But I had similar experience about 6 mos ago. Never did get any info. I thought it was her staff, not necessarily her. Don't mean to disrespect her. If you say she is golden, I am sure she is. Stuff happens.

Marva's good people. Downtown needs more like her.

Include me as a fan of Marva. She is a lovely person with incredible vision and fortitude.

Retro Metro OKC had its debut coming-out party there on July 15, 2010. Several party pics showing the entry-whatever-it-is-called area are in my blog piece about that event. Most pics focus on people present, but a few show of the area, as well.

Marva is in the 3rd photo, below.





Marva is the lady in yellow, below





She is a very classy lady.

Visited some friends that have a loft in the annex building to the north last weekend. Apartments are very nice - beautifully decorated and full of light from windows. Very nicely done.

No No, that's Palo Duro II.............LOL

[HangryHippo]

Right. Don't you remember the plans for how they were going to pay homage to the original and build a "quality" Palo Duro II?

About a year ago, there was a building permit for the ground floor space on the south end. It's about 2,775 square feet and the permit indicated a restaurant use.

Today in his chat, Steve mentioned it was to be a wine bar run by Andrew Black.

I've peaked inside there and it's great space with some of the same tile floor as the lobby:

About the right size for that book store too if the wine thing falls through.

Andrew has been working on that for a long time.

Scrolling through this thread a bit and seeing Praedura's name. It's been almost a year since he last logged in. We never did find out why he left, right?

I asked that awhile back and no one seemed to know.
