Also, just curious, there are quite a few Southies on this forum. What is your drive time to downtown and where are your coming from (approximately)? Not distance, but drive time. (Just a bit SE of) 111th & S Memorial, approx. 17 mi. Time is about like Townsend's, 20 to 45 min. 169 & Memorial to BA to downtown is the only sensible way for me. The wrong time of day it can take 15 minutes just to get to 169 (at about 96th St), including weekends. http://goo.gl/maps/0E5Po I'll go downtown for something special but don't anticipate going there on a regular basis. Up Memorial to HG incurs the same stretch of Hell Memorial. After 96th, it's only another 1-1/2 miles and traffic is usually OK except for pokie okies north of 91st. |

I have found it easier to get downtown from Owasso then from most of south Tulsa and Broken Arrow except for areas close to the BA Expressway. Southwest Tulsa and Jenks is probably the easiest because of the straight shot up 75. Owasso, SW Tulsa and Jenks/Glenpool is also where the bulk of new suburban growth is located. Eventually we may see rail links on existing track from downtown to BA and Jenks, and possibly even Owasso with a stop at the airport.

I live behind the Farm Shopping Center and work at 3rd and Boulder (nine miles). I can get to work in between 14 minutes and 30 minutes based on the time of day. I can get home in between 12 minutes and 35 minutes based on the time of day. |

I live in Jenks, 121st and Elm (Peoria). a little under 15 minutes to downtown with no traffic. No longer than 20 with traffic. |

Actually timed it to the IDL ballroom (next to Enzo) last night. 8 minutes from 91st and Yale at about 6pm. Nav system estimated 9 minutes.

I don't believe you can drive 13 miles on that route in 8 minutes at that time of day. That would be averaging 97.5 miles per hour through rush hour. |

Turnpike to 169 then 51, then 75, then 7th street exit. Don't know but that's what it said. Seems like it should take longer. |

That's closer to 18 miles. There's no way. (just saw your reply. Makes more sense.) |

Google maps says 23 min, not counting the time to get a ticket for trying to make it in 18. http://goo.gl/maps/LKQ7b |

High Gravity would be a great candidate for a pop up shop.
I'm sure they could get a nice bump in sales as popular as homemade beer & wine have become. Sprinkle in a fair amount of regular booze related items and it'd make a great pop up concept.
