Title: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: tulsabug on November 01, 2012, 11:38:55 pm Well - I was hoping when they started leveling the land that we might get an actual restaurant of some sort but the sign went up today that it's going to be a Whataburger. At least it will hide the Wal-Mart from view somewhat! ;D

At least it will hide the Wal-Mart from view somewhat! ;D Like a gaudy Whataburger would improve the looks of the neighborhood. The smell of those places from the outside insure I never go inside. What a step down for Mayo Meadows. Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: Conan71 on November 02, 2012, 02:29:15 pm Is this on 21st a block west of Yale? Smack dab on the SW corner.

Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: Conan71 on November 02, 2012, 02:47:38 pm Perfect...you can crawl there from home! I quit going there when I learned this after having one of their Hatch green chile burgers last year: Quote Two 100% pure American beef patties, two kinds of cheese - Monterey jack and American - all topped with our roasted, seasoned green chiles. Only available in West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Sounds great, right? Then there's this: Quote ... added to protect flavor, dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent added. ... added to protect flavor, dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent added. Anti-foaming agent on/in a hamburger? W T F? They will be a great neighbor for Panda Express.

Is that Sears going to close? Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: TylerBGoode on November 02, 2012, 03:00:10 pm Dimethylpolysiloxane is used in the frying oil of just about every fast food burger joint.

My mistake....I am only right most of the time. Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: nathanm on November 02, 2012, 03:11:52 pm ..and walmart, and an empty race track and empty baseball stadium and a run down waterpark. Ideas are more welcome than complaints. ;D Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: Teatownclown on November 02, 2012, 03:29:23 pm Ideas are more welcome than complaints. ;D Karen Malloy sez "NO BIG BOX STORES!" Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: rdj on November 02, 2012, 03:33:55 pm Smack dab on the SW corner. I noticed some work being done on the corner of 21st & the first residential street west of Yale. Is that Winston or Vandalia? Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: Townsend on November 02, 2012, 03:42:36 pm Ideas are more welcome than complaints. ;D Super. I'd love to hear some. Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: tulsa1603 on December 14, 2012, 05:53:01 pm Has anyone else noticed this building? The back faces the intersection, and the "front" where all the windows are faces back towards the west? Not that I had high hopes for a fast food restaurant, but couldn't they at least give people driving by something to look at besides the employee entrance and the line of cars in the drive through? Ridiculous!
Title: Re: Whataburger at 21st and Yale Post by: tulsabug on December 15, 2012, 04:00:19 pm Yea - it is really odd - probably just trying to attract their "clientele" i.e. Wal-Mart customers. But on the bright side, it does completely hide Wal-Mart if driving south on Yale all the way to the intersection.

But on the bright side, it does completely hide Wal-Mart if driving south on Yale all the way to the intersection. Hiding a Wal-Mart with a Whataburger? That makes sense. ::) I will say the outdoor lighting around the Panda Express is much more sedate than any Whataburger I have seen. So my concern at this point is, unless Whataburger suddenly decides to break their old bad floodlighting habits, they will overwhelm the Panda Express, who will then feel the need to "ratchet" their lighting to keep up. FYI, the city only addresses non-complying lighting by citizen complaints to the MAC. If that should be necessary, the more the merrier... |
