Title: MSNBC to air special on Elliot Nelson
Post by: ZYX on April 07, 2011, 04:25:33 am
MSNBC to air show on Elliot Nelson and downtown. Proof that several brave people have taken us farther than we think in so many areas. The show is going to focus on the concept of owning so many small businesses, and how he has transformed the area.

---------------------------------------

Take a drive through Downtown Tulsa and you'll see a lot of development going on.

Producers for a national program are taking note of one particular business owner who opened up at the beginning of it all.

On the corner of 1st and Elgin Avenue you'll find a cornerstone of development,
McNellie's Irish Pub.

It opened a few years ago.

Today, Elliot Nelson is running several restaurants in the area and his work piqued the interest of MSNBC crews.

A cameraman and a producer was McNellies last night.  They were getting shots of people at their tables.

Any idea of an air date?

From KJRH story:

Quote
MSNBC has not yet set a date for the story to air on Nelson.
 
The producer says it could be sometime in late May or June.

Between that and the Man V Food segments, that's a lot of WIN for downtown lately.

With those upcoming in May and June, and the NCAA tournament coverage, it's a good start to some free recognition for Tulsa. Make me wonder if the tourny spurred the idea for msnbc somewhat.

Wouldn't be surprised.
