Demolition on east side of I35 in Moore

[chrisok]

Here's a link to the plans for The Shops at Moore.

Looks like a Men's Warehouse and a Chick Fil A are also included.

Where is the actoin. I thought that bingo hall was going down?

I think this well be a nice addition to Moore's growth.

[Easy180]

etl...it will absolutely help Moore and especially the E. side of I35, which was an eyesore w/ the "nice" Microtel, bingo hall and an empty Sam's store

I read that the city council paid for a survey to see if building a bridge over I35 on S. 34th was feasible....sure they will w/ the new shopping center going in

[ETL]

Sounds good to me. I just can't wait to see construction.

[russellc]

The city or someone needs to build a bridge at S 34th for the shopping center, and Integris owns 40 acres at that intersection. A hospital would need easy highway access for the ambulances.

Norman needs an exit at UPN. It will be 2 miles long with access only at both ends.

[BricktownGuy]

Integris was suppose to be build by now I believe according to plans. I believe the ready to go date was 2006.

Maybe they reconsidered after Schuster.

Good to see all those empty buildings gone, they were there for too long. However, it does seem to be similar to Belle Isle which is nothing special. I'm sick of big box stores and strip shopping. Oh well, at least they didn't implode a landmark to build a boring big box development like at Belle Isle. It will be an improvement, if only slightly.

[Easy180]

only a slight improvement over an abandoned Sam's, a bingo hall and the luxurious Microtel??

[chrisok]

For a city the size of Moore which had virtually no retail, I think it's a huge improvement.

[aintaokie]

I beleive that a bridge over I35 at SE34 is in the works. I heard this a few months ago at city council meeting. It is a long range planning project.

[Easy180]

hope it is not too long range...be a great thing for the folks in my neighborhood

wife said the sign is up for a Chili's in front of the Home Depot now....already have the frame up for it...the restaurants are flooding in like crazy now


Keep em coming!!

I've been wondering what that was in front of the HD on 19th. A Chili's, ah. I know, I know another chain restaurant. But people in Moore have been driving to NOrman or I-240 for restaurants for years now with a BWW, Applebee's, Chili's, and at least 4 good BBQ places close by it's becoming a nicer place to live!

What is "BWW?"

j/k... Buffalo Wild Wings

Thank you. I have been saying for years that people should not use initials or acronyms because many people do not know what they mean.

Although I really did not know what BWW was, I would have still asked... To prove a point.

UGH, When are they going to demolish that horrid Bingo hall!?

So I am assuming they are closing the Ross where they are at now? If so, We could be looking at some GREAT sales coming up.

[ETL]

Any new info?

[Spartan]

I saw a few renderings the other day... I'll have to find them and post them when I do.

[BricktownGuy]

Quite a large file:

Looks like they started demolition on the shopping center right next to Ross today. Seen them knocking it down this morning.

I dont see anywhere on the pdf file where it says whether it will be brick (hopefully) or that cheap looking stucco material they used on the shopping center on Penn and 240.

[Easy180]

My money is on the cheap stucco...Unfortunately

[BricktownGuy]

stucco.

[Spartan]

Stucco? Too hopeful.

EIFS.

[mranderson]

Not a thing wrong with stucco if applied correctly. In fact, the majority of the homes west of Oklahoma are stucco. And personally, I prefer it over brick veneer.

[Spartan]

We're talking about shopping centers, not tract homes.

I much prefer some of the new brick veneer strip malls... very nice looking.
