18th and Boston. Heard a rumor these buildings will go down and a small strip (a la where Double Shot is) development. Any confirmation?

Can't confirm but have heard Pink is on its way out.

Good point but I heard it might resemble Center One.

What a shame.  That building has such character.  Pink had a short life to begin with.  Places like those only stay popular for a short period of time.  Hopefully the new strip (1) goes up to the curb and (2) includes at least one watering hole and/or restaurant.

Cool exterior for sure. Those money laundering bikers from NOLA dicked the inside up beyond repair back 8 years ago. I heard McGrath sold the Pink building recently. Something is in the works.

Yes, Louisiane along with maybe 4 other restaurants were at one time the best in town. Was it Tommy Duncan who chanted  "time changes everything" ?

What were the years for Louisiane?  I think I remember eating there once shortly after we moved here in 1971.  It might have been while I was in the Navy, home on leave, or shortly after I got out of the Navy in 1976.

That is an absolute must.  Any way we can see what is proposed?

I don't think anything has been filed.  Again, this is baseless info coming from hear say.... a rumor.

Kallmeyers owned Louisiane....dating back to the early 60's and into the late 70's.

Then Bill Poulous got ahold of it and ran it into the ground.  They moved to 81st & Memorial around '92 and lasted maybe 6 months if that.

If the name "Poulous" registers, he was the dipshit behind "team rodeo" as in the Tulsa Twisters.  What a total doosh of a businessman.

I worked at the 81st St location for about a week...one of the worst service experiences of my life. How in the heck can you run out of ranch dressing in Tulsa, OK? Thankfully I was working for tips because no one in the kitchen and none of the vendors got paid.
