Blue Rose wins Rivers Edge Location...

Next time you see Tom ask if they can take a firehose to the women's room each day before opening.

I'm afraid I can't get my wife to step anywhere close to that place again after the first visit.

Did they have a pylon in the turlet? This was the mens room a few weeks ago:

Time for a chat with Tom

I was amazed that they did nothing to the restrooms before reopening. I don't care if the restrooms are RPA's responsibility they are the only ones for customers. How hard would it have been to use a powerwasher everywhere then do some painting and provide a little TP. I mean they toke the time to paint and work on the outside of the buildings.

I've not been by in a while.  Any noticeable progress for Blue Rose?

Any progress in making the Elwood's bathrooms slightly less horrific?

[Conan71]

No and No

Maybe you guys should start using the womens.  I won't say it was great, but I am a picky pottier, will cry in pain holding it before I would ever use potajohn . . . but they weren't unbearable, for being outdoors and used by people who may or may not know what indoor plumbing is like anymore. 

There were also signs saying new bathrooms were being built, a block or two away maybe.

I could see NO evidence of new work being done on the restaurant.

That's the issue...I have little in the care department as long as there's a hole in the wall or floor for it to run down into. 

My wife on the other hand...We've been once since it's been Elwood's.  We will be back as soon as my wife believes there is an OCD compliant lady's room.

A functioning soap dispenser would be a step in the right direction...probably going to have to wait a while on that one.

I got some hand sanitizer in my Tulsa Tough goodie bag Mrs. T is welcome to 

Glad we hooked up Friday night, Blue Dome is hard to beat as a race venue, though the party on Crybaby Hill is a total gas.

She's got loads of sanitizer.  I think it was the hand to hand combat with the vermon that repelled her.

Oh, and those construction cost figures they cited in the article?  Nowhere close to reality, more like $1.2mm

I'm looking forward to seeing them start soon.  Although December is an interesting time to open a riverfront restaurant..

The design is really cool, I hope they stick to it.  The fact that it juts out over the water is a big plus.

The World Article makes me wonder if we awarded the space to the right people.

And if you think this is going to open this year...
I'd be very surprised if it opens in 2011

Not a hater but....I do not have confidence of the developers on this project. I dont think it should be Blue Rose either. Great location, let's get it moving! Thus far: FAIL.

[Gaspar]

I've heard some rumbling on this.  I think their might be a new developer involved.
