    Given what a fine journalist Bill Crum is, always finding the false equivalency that has nothing to do with development, I was really touched by the story of Anita Sanders, who owns "property" at 830 NW 10th apparently. Bill Crum and Anita Sanders must be kindred souls because neither of them understand development, and neither of them should be anywhere near it, but sadly Anita is going to have to build a fence to protect against increased activity, and Bill will probably cover it when that time comes.

    I figured we could just spare all of us the sob story of Anita Sanders and Bill Crum being surrounded by all of this development they don't get, and just prevent it all. I figured this cause lent itself well to a logo.

    Will this sort of thing have a chilling effect on future development?

    Another interesting exclusive by Steve.

    Blighted Midtown Property Set to Become Showcase Home? | News OK

    Keoppel, who received quite a bit of attention for a modern home he built at 4711 N Blackwelder, has big plans for the property that include turning the home and guest house in the rear into a top notch, 5,000-foot-home with a pool in the yard.

    His house at 47th and Blackwelder isn't the focus of this article. This is at 524 NW 8th St.

    From the line that was highlighted, I can see why he thought that was the home that was being reported on.

    Just saw this in the news. Used prosthetics. Maybe they can rename themselves Eldorado Limb Sales.

    I was in midtown today and took a swing by the 524 NW 8th street project. Does anyone who knows about these things know why they would be clearing the existing wood frame house by deconstructing it board by board, instead of bulldozing it? I figured one of you would know.

    The old Meg Guess building is being expanded and converted into 3 lease spaces and the facade will be updated as well.

    The alley between it and Louie's will be filled with the new addition.

    Fitzsimmons Architects are doing the design work.

    Chris Fleming at MidtownR said they don't have any deals signed yet.

    That should be very successful if they are specifically targeting retail, as they seem to be with that design. Big retail floorplates are just a lot to say grace over for the types of quirky, local retailers that I'm sure they are hoping to attract.

    Seeing 4 "separate" buildings that are all hugging each other on the same block makes my heart happy.

    This looks terrible and someone has some explaining to do...this kind of thing cannot be allowed to keep happening. Time for new blood and new ideas and new ways of doing things!

    I'm digging all of the small projects popping up in Midtown, where existing smaller property owners are taking part of the revitalization.

    Any idea what is going on at 308 NW 10th? There have been trucks (pick ups) there for the past month or so. I saw them drilling on the west side of the building... Not sure if this has anything to do with the New Egg group or not.
