31st and Yale would like a word

That word is "QuikTrip" once the city rebuilds the intersection to their liking.

The 15th and Harvard corner is one of the worst in all of Tulsa outside of Big Al's.

I believe the new location will be a body shop specifically focusing on high performance vehicles.  I think they are going to expand their kitchen on 21st.   At least that was the plan initially.

I've heard a Reeder's as well. As a resident in the area, I really hope there is some increased investment and development. The 15th and Harvard corner is one of the worst in all of Tulsa outside of Big Al's.

Interesting.

What about Tulsa-Kansas City, Tulsa - St Louis, Maybe even Tulsa - Little Rock.  Tulsa - Denver....

Lots of infrastructure and cost analysis but for relatively short hops, well worth considering.

Don't know if security would be as severe as at airports.  Can't hijack a train to go to Havana.


As a private pilot... anyplace within one tank of gas and not too terrible weather, it's quicker to fly private than the airlines.  And, depending on the number of people in the plane, perhaps more cost effective.  Of course, if you absolutely have to be there on time, the airlines are still the best option.

Work has started on the lot at the northwest corner of 15th and College.  That parcel is owned by the same people as the Reeder's gas station at 21st and Lewis.  It appears the building will be right up next to the sidewalk, which is great.  Any clue what is being built?

And now for something entirely expected by the fascists running things...

They have made it plain they don't like the US.  They want to destroy it.  What better place than eliminating the US Constitution?
