SE Corner of NW 23 and Penn

[jpeaceokc]

The buildings on the SE Corner of NW 23rd and Penn have been torn down in the last few days and a construction fence has gone up around the property. I've lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and the buildings have been vacant almost the whole time. Any ideas what's going in? A new mini-On Cue? a Starbacks to challenge the McCafe across the street? A new pawn shop? Strip mall? Will there be parking in front or in back? Will this be a nice addition to the area or another step in the Northwest Expressification of NW 23rd? Inquiring minds want to know!

Another step in the NW Expressification of NW 23rd it is then. Sigh.

There is also a Billy Simms going in the strip mall near that intersection (south side of street), think it is the old Blockbuster space??

Not sure what that means or how it is a bad thing.

As fine an example of branding counting for more than it should as ever existed.

So this Raising Canes should be held to the same standard as McD's...
