I just heard a breaking news update on KRMG (I was with my Grandma..) that was talking about the two newe grocery stores downtown. Exciting!

Article from KRMG:

KRMG was reporting on the announcement of a new grocery store in downtown Tulsa when we stumbled upon news of a second store going in as well.

The last time downtowners had a grocery store was the Homeland on Denver Avenue that closed in 2002.

Local entrepreneur Blake Ewing sent KRMG a press release about his announcement tomorrow.

The release says the Archer Market will be located at The Detroit Lofts.

That's on Archer near ONEOK Field.Ewing says, "Downtown Tulsa has been really hurting for a local market and I am proud to have a hand in meeting that need. Archer Market will be an important piece of making downtown a more livable area, and will hopefully attract others to take residence here."

Ewing says the store will have food, toiletries and more for the growing number of people living downtown.The kitchen will also offer prepared dinners and full service catering.

Customers can help themselves to a fresh gourmet salad bar, a breakfast cereal and oatmeal station and a coffee shop.

The market will open in October.

The other developer is going with a different style.

That store will be located at 2nd and Detroit and will offer natural foods

That's Sager's loft project, isn't it?

I hope Blake doesn't over-extend himself, financially or time-wise.  I admire his vision, but having multiple business interests concerns me when it comes to wanting to add city councilor to the portfolio.  Just seems like he might have a lot of distractions and I'm really not sure if he appreciates how councilor can turn into a full time gig when it comes to your constituents having zero respect for your time away from the council chamber.

If anyone wants a primer on it, just talk to Eric Gomez.  People will literally accost you in the grocery store or your place of business.  I used to see people bring up city business with Mayor Randle at church when I went to Trinity Episcopal.  Seriously folks, these public servants have a life.

I'm by no means a Blake hater, quite the contrary, I like him a lot and what he's done for downtown.  I think his input could be really vital from the view of an entrepreneur in one of the more dynamic council districts.  I simply hope he doesn't burn himself out.

I wish him the best in his race and I hope he makes an excellent councilor should he win.  Due to the gerrymandering er re-districting, I'm no longer in D-4.

No, the Detroit Lofts is a Snyder project. It was completed in August of last year and the lofts are 100% full.

The "Teach For America" teachers have found the Detroit Lofts to be quite to their liking. 

Conan, from what I hear Blake has surrounded himself with top notch talent in the areas of marketing, management and food preparation.  I think this will allow him to grow his businesses and devote time to public service.  Downtown lovers can only hope he is elected.  My personal opinion is other candidates may pander to more of a midtown crowd versus a balance of midtown/downtown.
