I saw some Sack and Associates surveyers working in the Christmas tree lot at 41st and Harvard this morning. I don't know enough about surveying to say whether they were surveying the lot, or surveying something else nearby. Anybody heard any rumors? Or better yet...any actual info?

Too close to a church, Burner.
Could be another strip with Starbucks, Quizno, Cartridge Store and spec space for Tats or Nails.

It was going to be a Wal-Mart a few years back until the neighborhood told them NO. I'm not sure what the plan is for the site now.

It could be on the QT.
We won't know much until a site plan is filed because it will not be a land sale. Land lease.

I was thinking QT as well. I lived near there for 12 years and always felt there was a little gap in QT coverage there. The 47th & Yale QT wasn't the Quikest of Trips from Harvard. Without a huge population increase in the area though, building a new QuikTrip likely just pulls business away from other QTs. There used to be one at 51st & Lewis that they shut down too. |

Where exactly was it located? It was obviously before my time. |

Thanks. When was it torn down? Here's a pic of the area from the Beryl Ford Collection: http://www.tulsalibrary.org/JPG/D6469.jpgThe white 62 Ford is turning from SB Lewis onto EB 51st. The black Corvair is heading north on Lewis. The DX is where Walgreens is now. |

My old stomping grounds... OT was on the site of the old Gulf station in the photo. It closed about 15 years ago and was torn down about 12 years ago when the store at 61st and lewis went in and now it has been expanded. The crossing guard standing by the stop sign was there for Revere Elementary School, now gone, which was just out of the photo (near right)… I’m not sure my knees and elbows ever healed until summer from the falls on the 100% asphalt playground OUCH! Looking left of the photo was Fike’s Center (still there), anyone else remember the grocery store... my mother bought one of the butcher blocks from Mr. Fike when he retired and closed the store (where Parkhill’s is now and still using the same automatic doors, back then the Liquor Store as all little yellow sign was allowed to say was on the SW corner of the center)… we still have it 37 years later. Also just left of the DX station and out of the photo was "The Patio Grill" (later knows as Goldie’s Patio Grill when it expanded to fill the original building that was the golf shop and grill) which overlooked a little 9-hole par 3 golf course. |

[/quote] The streets on the edge of town in that pic look as bad as they are today. The grocery store in Fikes was Fikes. |
