Heard a rumor of Home Depot building in Bixby

[HazMatCFO]

What is under construction next to Jiffy Lube in that same development? Can't tell yet if it's a restaurant, bank or other?

Another bank.....IBC I believe.

The Home Depot has been canceled?  Did the economy sink the project?

yeah thats a pretty good guess.  i think another problem is the land owners in bixby think their land is worth more than it is.

I think Sod farming is a good use for that land around 121st.  It doesn't matter quite so much when it gets wet.  I seem to remember a few islands of dryness there in the late 80s. (I can never remember if it was 86 or 88.) There has been a lot of work to keep the place dry during normal floods but....that place will get wet again sometime.

Nah, can't be that. I mean the guy that owns the 4 acres on the NE corner of Memorial & 161st only wants $850,000 for it.

It's worth what someone will pay for it. Can't blame the guy for trying. Everyone wants their  property value to go up, why should this guy be different?

I'd like to see a Mennards Home center open up in Tulsa. Those stores run circles around Home Depot & Lowes, they are bigger and offer more items and they sell them at a lower price. Their Christmas & Halloween/Seasonal section is huge, and they have a jumbo lumber center, far bigger than other stores and they have lower prices.
