Plaza District

This was written by a regular poster on this site.

Not too surprising.

It's an interesting phrase. Definitely captures the spirit of what is happening in many districts, and with Better Block, etc.

But it is a Nick from southside OKC who lived in Cleveland for a while. Funny, eh?

Too bad Google Street view is so out of date - trying to figure out which unit that is (north or south end).

I've wondered for a long time why Google has updated Amarillo and Wichita's streetview but not OKC. OKC has changed tremendously since the 2007 images being displayed.

Great new video promoting Plaza (incidentally, the music is by ACM@UCO-affiliated Horse Thief):

Killer.

Since some of this has to do with the Plaza district, I thought I would post it here as well as the Arts and Entertainment section:

Did plenty of photos and video at this past week's Plaza Sunday. The video is further down the queue with everything else. I will try to have it all done in a few days.

Awesome!

Wow, that district has really come alive just in the last couple of years.


Will, did you notice how far along the old Coin Laundry site is? I see the one "I Love You" photo but did you notice the interior? They should be close to opening the new pizza-by-the-slice concept.

Also, has construction started on the renovation of the old gas station on the corner of Blackwelder? It's now a restaurant / market but will be a nicer, expanded restaurant.

The gas station space on the NW corner of 16th and Blackwelder was taken over by Everything Goes Dance Studio who expanded their space. You might be referring to the gas station on the SE corner of 16th and Indiana. Construction on that has been ongoing for several years.

It is owned by Jeff Struble.

He is using the popularize website to help figure out what to do with it:

If you look at it from 15th St., it turns brown.

This is from that Popularize site:

Commonly referred to as "the barn", 1609 Blackwelder is actually a statehood farmhouse built in 1907 and is still standing strong after 105 years. Though in a state of disrepair, Struble Properties purchased the building and will renovate this historic property to join the resurgence of the district. The building caps Blackwelder Avenue, and it's neighbors include The Society, a energetic community driven arts space, Bomb Shelter Gallery, Sons & Daughters boutique and The Mule Public House. With creativity and vision, we are looking for the community's input to breath new life in the Plaza District's oldest building.

The building is currently zoned for commercial, and includes 1287 sq ft on the first floor, 1,084 sq ft on the second floor and a 588 sq ft basement. Additionally, the lot includes space for parking in rear.

Well, crap. Looks like I'll have to sue Pie Junky. "Eat More Pie" has been my personal motto for more than 40 years.

I visited the Parish this morning and noticed Empire Slice House has a new sign that wasn't there last Sunday. I walked across the street to ask if I could takes some photos of the inside but the guys building said it wasn't their call. I still took some of the outside. A leader at the Parish told me they had a "soft" opening on Friday. I could tell they were doing construction on the inside. You can see the table saw. I think they were hoping to open next week.

Not big on the sign.

Maybe I need to see it in person.
