We use it all the time. We take digital pictures and upload them to Target for processing. Much cheaper and easier than printing photos at home.

People still print photos?

LOL - I knew that was coming. Yep - photo albums, pictures to grandma, school project boards, hardcopy back-up, framing, etc...
Some people like e-books and some people still like to hold a book.

Gone are the days of someone pulling out their wallent and showing you a string of 24 photos of their kids dating back 10+ years. Now they pull out their phone and show you 2100 photos dating back to last month.

Re: Century Center
Not necessarily, but the CBD needs more life and this will push it in that direction.

It's making those special books for the 40% discount that we like, plus the personalized Christmas cards.

Corner Bakery would be a good fit for CC in Downtown OKC. I frequent them quite often here in Dallas and they have great coffee, lemonade and those speciality panini sandwiches. Their pastries are always good and fresh. I have also had their salads and they are really good!

Re: Century Center
Exactly right, Kerry. I still like to have photos displayed in various places in my home. I have numerous framed photos of my children in my bedroom.

Re: Century Center
Thanks Metro - I thought about posting photos of urban locations also since that is the kind which will be in OKC.

We HOPE! No guarantees, and OKC isn't known for having high design standards, but hopefully the bar has been raised enough and negotiations are legit.

There doesn't appear to be much to look at there yet from the outside, anyway.

Will the connection to the hotel be closed off?

Re: Century Center
I can't imagine any reason why it would be.

Re: Century Center
No, the hotel will still be connected.
See the floor plans in the article above.
Re: Century Center
I see that, but it looks like there's doors there. I can't tell in the drawings if those would remain closed during operation or if there was some expectation that people in the hotel would be able to enter the tenant space (e.g. will there be atrium-fronted entrances for CVS and Corner Bakery? presumably there wouldn't be for DOK, unless access controlled by key-card/fob. I see interior doors for the tenant space, but it's unclear if that's employee use only or public access).

Looks so much better.

Re: Century Center
The doors from the hotel will probably remain as they have always been and in the past -- even when the CC space was empty for years -- those doors were open.
If you look at the plans, the hotel opens into the atrium and then through the atrium and hallways inside the CC, people would be able to enter from the inside as well as the outside.

Re: Century Center
The exterior concrete panels will start coming off later in the spring. Once people see those coming off and see the skeleton structure, that will generate a lot of buzz. The parking garage is also about to be remodeled, about a $2.5 - $3m effort.
