What's with the no sidewalks??

[PennyQuilts]

Burmuda grass creeps and tears up sidewalks if not maintained. Maybe that's it.

In regards to the downtown retail, there are several shops that I buy from often along Park Avenue...
On the first floor of First National Center, there is a great Hallmark store and also the best gift shop ever with proceeds benefitting Feed The Children. There is a very nice pharmacy at First National Center, also. I love BC Clarks! There is a very cute shop at the Skirvin, also (what is it called?). There are two florists as well as a small office supply store and a tobacco shop.

When the weather warms up, every Wednesday there is a farmers market at Couch Drive & Robinson Avenue, due east of the Leadership Square building. That is my favorite part of working downtown! Wednesday lunch in the summer!

There is more retail/shopping in the downtown area... that is just what comes to mind.

There's also a clothing store in the Park Harvey, and several shops in Oklahoma Tower. Also, it may not be outside, but a walk around the Underground is fun and there are several gallery areas.

julie/jbrown, there is also Firefly, Red Dirt Emporium, and Painted Door in Bricktown and in Deep Deuce (soon to be in the Centennial in Bricktown) is LiT clothing. The Pinpoint Resource is coming to First National, in the Park Harvey is Claybourne's Haberdashery and Teena Hicks (both upscale mens clothing) is across the street in Oklahoma Tower. I agree there is more we're not thinking about, however the guy who just moved here from the east coast is used to a lot more street retail in downtown areas. It will definitely come in time, probably sometime this fall we'll begin to see an influx of retail, after most of these construction projects wrap up.

I agree. It just seems natural that the retail shops will come when all these apartment and condo things are completed. Maybe even a grocery store sometime.

We'll know we have arrived when we can buy cold beer at a liquor store or a bottle of wine at a grocery store downtown ... I still can't believe we can't do that in this state .... heavy sigh.

Thank God we can get a piercing and a tattoo now if so inclined.

I guess I'm not cool enough to realiz the inconvenience being caused of not being able to drive downtown and buy wine at a grocery store down there.

We've been able to get piercings for years, the tattoo's are what was new or should I say "banned".
