re: IKEA coming to OKC?
I believe that the Evans location just off the tracks on Western started out as Big Red Furniture and Larry Evans was either the store manager or the son of the owner. I think they also tried a location at 23rd and Walker which wasn't successful. I think there was quite a rivalry between Mathis and Big Red for a while, but Mathis left them in the dust.

It will take decades for Oklahoma City's
downtown core to regain its lost gritty,
dynamic urban character, but it's exciting
to observe and participate in the transformation.
