Any word on an opening date yet?

[Pete]

Should be soon.

Just waiting on their final inspections.

JRod, if you have a take on this, you should try to get in this documentary...

[bradh]

opening date announced?

[Pete]

They are still waiting on inspections.

Donkey Kong wall!

[bradh]

Still waiting on inspections or are they making corrections found?

[JRod1980]

Still waiting on inspections, we are working with the city to figure out who needs to do what, because everyone is saying that the other person has to do an inspection first. I simply attribute it to "job security".

[John Knight]

There was a short film shot at Flashback yesterday.

[kevinpate]

Now why didya go and make them nice people all green

[Canoe]

There was a short film shot at Flashback yesterday.

Do you know the name of the film?

[OkiePoke]

Any news on grand opening?

[BillyOcean]

which opens first?

sandridge parkside building or flashback?

[Pete]

FlashBack is still waiting on some final permits but otherwise is ready to go.

[IanMcDermid]

And don't forget. An entity can't finalize their liquor license without the certificate of compliance from the city. Which is essentially a $1,500 single sheet of paper that simply says you've passed all inspections, closed out your building permit, and are in good standing with 420 w. Main. Then it's trips back to the OTC and 420 for permits that supplement the ABLE license you needed certs from the OTC and 420 from in the first place to qualify. Then the wholesalers can verify your permits. THEN you can buy booze. And that's if no one is in line ahead of you.

^^^^^^^^
Unless they've done it, people have NO idea how onerous that process is. Even renewals are a PITA.

[BigD Misey]

Dropped by today (Friday) at 2 pm. Still not open.

[Pete]

They tweeted today they would have a big announcement next week.

[Roger S]

They tweeted today they would have a big announcement next week.

Sure hope it's that they are going to open up at lunch just for me!

[shawnw]

**commence hording of quarters**


Awesome!!! Can't wait.

[bradh]

I hate to bring this up again, especially since I like the new location as well, but I feel like JRod you might have been open by now if you had stayed on 23rd? I know there were deeper issues as well. Looking forward to October!

I respect your opinion, but we did what was best for our business. If I have a choice between being open already or being in the location we are in right now, I would choose this location a million times over. The fact that our space is twice as big as what we had on 23rd street alone is enough reason to pick this location. The rest of the issues with 23rd St, don't matter anymore so no need to revisit. We're excited to get the show on the road and add some night life to Film Row.

[Dr Beard Face]

I'm so ready for this! I wish I lived in Film Row just so I could be there every night.

I may have missed it earlier in the thread but will you have TVs for Thunder games and such?
