I hope CD Warehouse stays there. People might consider a record store the ultimate underutilized space (that and maybe a pizza parlor) but it is still decent retail that's built up proven longevity in downtown.

[mugofbeer]

It sure beats Pot shops and tatoo parlors.

[Spartan]

Yeah. We're loosing CD Warehouse and at the same time we've got enough tattoo parlors popping up everywhere.

It sure beats Pot shops and tatoo parlors.

Those exist here???

[Charles]

Haven't you been to Garden Ridge? That have all kinds of pots.

Pot shops? You mean like marijuana dispensaries? I think those would be pretty cool, actually.

On that note, an ABC/Post poll yesterday showed 81 percent national support for medical maryjane, and more than 50 percent for legalization.

And it appears that voters in the state of Washington support legalization and sales of pot in liquor stores.

Is anyone else surprised how quickly the public opinion is shifting on this issue?

[Spartan]

I'm with you guru. I used to be vehemently opposed as well. Case in point..

[ljbab728]

Still, the odds of that happening in Oklahoma in my lifetime, 0 percent.

[Spartan]

Yeah and back to A-Alley, I would be excited to see another building on there go lofts..

Another update for Automobile Alley is that Ghost Advertising ghost / 405 605 8147 / contact@ghostadv.com is moving from Paseo into the Vesper building on Broadway next month.

New furniture store opening this week next to Coffee Slingers. Another business or two I think are also coming in..A-Alley is becoming pretty serious.

New furniture store opening this week next to Coffee Slingers.

What sort of furniture?

Good. That space in Paseo could be used for something else more beneficial to the public.

The furniture store is Rawhide, formerly on Main St. in Norman. It's a very upscale Western-themed furniture store. Not my bag at all but it is a nice boutique.

[Spartan]

Kind of like the former Lorec Ranch.

[soonerguru]

Kind of like the former Lorec Ranch.

It's better than Lorec Ranch, IMO.

[Spartan]

I was talking to someone and heard this week, went by Coffee Slingers...still a ways out from opening in my opinion.

I heard names dropped of several other openings on A-Alley..forget them all sadly. Anyone know?

[kbsooner]

A-Alley is becoming pretty serious.

Yes, smells of rich mahogany and leather bound books eminate from storefronts lining the AA. It's kind of a big deal.


I love lamp.

[CuatrodeMayo]

People know it.

[Larry OKC]

Kind of like the former Lorec Ranch.

Former? When did they close? Know they had opened a second location in Stockyards a while back that didn't make it but the one out by Frontier City is still there isn't it? I don't get out that way very often but always stopped in and bought some kewl stuff there.

I don't think it's there anymore. It looks fairly abandoned.

They are definitely not by FC anymore, but in the last couple years, I noticed they had a store on Reno in the "Furniture District".

[Spartan]

Maybe they'll be coming to a neighborhood near you soon..
