Midtown

From Steve's article about the "car dealership":

“People have been calling me — I've had about 10 to 15 calls on this,” Bahreini said. “People are calling me about a restaurant, a cheese factory and garage hamburger place.”

Please, god, not another hamburger place.

I love Irmas, I love S&B and Tuckers and Kaisers. McNellies $3 burger night is awesome and I'm sure The Garage is going to be great as well, but we are saturating the market with saturated burgers!

No.

Burgers.

Mexican food with a cool patio. NAILED IT!

10th and Harvey car lot.

Between cleaning all of the junk cars on that property and MidtownR finally grating the massive mud puddle at 10th and Hudson, this corner already looks 1000% percent better.

Don't know if anyone has posted a link to this Gazette article from last month:

Oklahoma Gazette: News: MIDTOWN: The hot place to be

Lots of great quotes from developers.

I suspect the "garage hamburger place" he mentions was The Garage, sniffing around for locations before landing on their ultimate selection. The description is too specific. Otherwise he would have just called it "a hamburger place."

I suspect that in about 3 years a Bookstore would be an unbelievable success somewhere in downtown, and Midtown seems like the perfect place for such an operation. Law school, Residential, Businesses.

The Garage is a pretty good restaurant, but you are right, that area is getting pretty saturated with burgers.

I think something like Coolgreens would do well being that people living downtown, by my guess, are more likely to be health conscious.

Coolgreens is already in downtown - they'd just need to open for dinner service.

I don't know if there's a market for them to stay open. I stopped by once right before they closed on my way to a weekday Thunder game and there was no one there.

CBD is not a good after hours market for them. Midtown will be, though

I mentioned in some thread within the last year that I too thought a bookstore would be good in this part of the city. Nothing like a Barnes & Noble but a local small shop like Full Circle Books.

Some type if construction going on behind the garage on 10th and Harvey. Looks like a parking lot or something.

Steve tweeted this and I thought this area would be the appropriate place to put it:

In a prior OKC Central Live Chat, I mentioned that Nov/Dec will be seen as an amazing time for downtown OKC. We're seeing the start of that

Steve's OKC Central‏@stevelackmeyer
But get ready.... this next month is going to be incredible....

Steve's OKC Central‏@stevelackmeyer
We are seeing the previews of 2014-2016, which will see a huge wave of investment, construction & growth downtown.

30 years ago Neal Horton predicted downtown would go from Lincoln to Western, NW 13 to the river. Horton was absolutely right.

I said this in another thread, but with the complexes going in on Shartel and Francis, doesn't that make the EMSA site the most important site in Midtown?

What is the highest and best use for that sight, and does it involve the current structure or should it be razed and turned into something else?

Which one is the EMSA site?

The mirror plot (triangular) to Midtown Plaza Court.

The mirror plot (triangular) to Midtown Plaza Court.

Gotcha. I assume St Anthony's owns that? Will they vacate that property once the new addition is finished? I think the most important site in Midtown would be the NE/C or SE/C of 10th and Hudson. That much contiguous space being as close as it is to everything going on right now? That is nuts. As great as everything is that is happening in the area you mentioned, that is western side of Midtown and it seems like things are going to gravitate further east and south.

I wonder what he could be referring to.
