No one has commented on this article.

That's because the Farmer's Market is an important Icon of OKC.

Only a total idiot would want to get rid of it. It's not like it's the
totally worthless Stage Center. C'mon.

Well there goes my parking spot at bridal shows.

[amaesquire]

Excellent. Here's to hoping it spurs more development in the Farmer's Market area.

This bodes well for the Farmer's Market district. Entertainment will attract people who have never (or rarely) visited this part of the metro. Kudos Jody!

I think this is a little premature for this area (and the entire core -- spreading our districts out too much before any are densified), but I hope this is successful.

[OKCisOK4me]

I see the walk-in cooler but where's the kitchen?

[catch22]

Maybe it's a sushi restaurant. LOL

[Pete]

I originally called this a restaurant/bar but it will probably be a club/bar and might not serve food at all.

So...it's largely outdoors? This is exciting. I've said for probably 3-4 years to friends that I think the Farmers' Market area is the Next Big Thing, with the right vision and investors. Wish I had the dough to be a bar pioneer over there.

Is it where the sterling market was?

[Pete]

Skinny Slim's has demonstrated that a very small bar with a larger outdoor area -- if done right -- can be very successful.

If Film Row could get a bar or two on it's western edge, a bridge between these two districts could be formed.

...depending on what happens with the boulevard.

Found another rendering for this project:

...depending on what happens with the boulevard.

The Klein exit ramp is open now it literally spits you right out within a 1/2 block where this place is going to be.

Talked to the guy opening this place last week. He is a musician by trade, said he wants to offer live music, food trucks,and booze. He thinks they will be open by this June. He has a website called medicineparkmusic.com , seems like a pretty cool guy.

[Pete]

Sounds great!

Wow, the food truck business in OKC is getting ready to explode.

[Urbanized]

Hmm... ...he was in Love County. Interesting.

[Garin]

Said he has interior demo approved and hopes to start on exterior in another week or two.

Thanks!

This is actually a Clay Berkes project, the musician that proposed the seemingly dead Cherokee Fiddle that was to be in the Uptown area.

[CuatrodeMayo]

I hope the exterior stays intact. So much character.

[Bellaboo]

I hope the exterior stays intact. So much character.

Good one...

I hope the exterior stays intact. So much character.

It might be OK to patch that hole in the wall in the corner.
