Rainbow Records and the Mounds of Junk on 23rd and Classen!

Oh true.

Hot Rod, where would the cars go?

It's not within easy walking distance of the dorms and I guess I'm a bit of a snob, but I don't really have any desire to mingle with the folks who hang out in front of htat storefront waiting on the bus.

What's wrong with people who ride buses?

[HOT ROD]

guys, we can bring the trolleys back.

And there's nothing wrong with people who ride the bus. I suspect that there will be increases of people doing such.

Also, I think we can change OKC's culture by opening GOOD BUSINESSES that are not auto-centric. I think the Asia District/OCU is the best candidate for it outside of downtown, since you need to get out anyways.

I think it is a great candidate for an urbanized hoppin' joint.

[Midtowner]

I dunno.. OCU is a pretty insular place.

Those kids don't seem to get out much.

[metro]

Midtowner, do you think that's by choice or by lack of options around campus? I'm wondering if that entire culture would be different if there were ever good options within walking distance of campus.

I agree, Asian District and OCU area need more walkable options to have a cool local culture. There are enough young professionals living in the area that would easily support it. Tom & Jerry's restaurant comes to mind.


Saberman, NW 23rd does not face the north side of the old Rainbow Records building but the south side of the building instead.

Guestroom opened in a different space than where Rainbow was (other side of COTW) and did not buy Rainbow.

Yeah it's in a different location, and didn't buy Rainbow, but I believe they bought most of the Rainbow inventory. I could be wrong though.
