Thanks for the picture updates. Coming along nicely, but seems to be taking a little longer than I would expect (I guess they have a lot of retro-fitting to do).
Good stuff.
They started painting the containers.
Here's a photo from https://twitter.com/TylerBHolmes:

I think they're going to want to do murals on the shipping crates. The massing needs to be broken up.
Look at the renderings at the top of the page.
There will be all sorts of graphics.
I did just that. The particular red crate I was talking about made me scroll up to see if any additional lettering or window cuts would cover it, but they're actually left more blank than I first realized. In the rendering the corrugated ribboning looks more interesting than in real-life.
You've really become the unflinching anti-challenger, lately.just kidding.

OK Sea preparing for launch in Oklahoma City | News OK
This is an interesting aspect about Anchor Down.The Deep Deuce development, made of shipping containers, is expected to welcome its first customers in May in Oklahoma City.
On the ground floor, the bar is already in and will soon be ready for set up of Anchor Down to begin.
“We’re ready to go,” said Joey Morris, Anchor Down co-owner. “We’re waiting to get in there and put our touch on it. We’re thinking based on the weather probably by May 1 for opening. We’re still developing the menu and beverages.”
The decor will match the industrial nature of the shipping containers, Morris said. Anchor Down also will feature items salvaged from the Rock Island Plow building that McKown is redeveloping nearby in Bricktown. Among the materials being re-used are wood flooring and hanging doors.
This is one of the developments I think I'm most excited about.
A couple of shipping containers being repainted and used? I mean this is cool, but....![]()
But corn dogs...
Yeah, there isn't a good dog place in the city. I'm interested to see how they are.

Thanks PluPan! This is starting to look really, really cool.
Does that sidewalk in the first photo take you down to the improvised stairway across the rr tracks?
Yes
Actually, I took the improvised stairway on Monday, and it does not line up with the sidewalk, which was a surprise to me. I wonder if there be a new improvised stairway or something because the sidewalk appears to go right up to the ROW.
Oh... well I'm not sure I would have gone that way had I seen it. I was in work clothes and not jungle attire :-)
They are painting the graphics:

Cool!
I soo want to like this, but so far I'm liking the concept more than the product. Hopefully as it finishes it will look a lot cooler.
