Archer Market

[OwenParkPhil]

I live in beautiful Owen Park, and I'm happy to have two new groceries going in downtown (Cam and Archer Market).

Owen Park is making quite a resurgence due to it being two minutes from the Brady district with affordable historic housing. Two groceries nearby can only be good for us here in the Park.

This is great news for Tulsa.  I recently moved from Downtown KC after living in a highrise for 5.5 years.  The first 2 years were without our grocery store, and the last 3.5 were with our grocery store.  It was approximately a 1.5 minute walk from our house which made frequent shopping trips easy, even with our small child.  Additionally, the Downtown KC store was arguably one of the nicest stores in KC. 

I really hope that the Tulsa stores being installed are of sufficient quality.  Additionally, I hope they have high quality prepared foods, deli, salad bars, pizzas, etc... as this was a huge workday lunchtime draw and was also a draw around 6 pm to 7 pm with downtown residents picking up their dinner. 

Either way, a single store is an improvement, and 2 is even better. 

How close are they going to be located to one another?

The grocery store in downtown KC is very nice.  Was just there a few weeks ago.

I've been to the markets in downtown KC and St. Louis. Both are very nice and I'd be happy to have one here. They both seem to have just about everything you'd need from a supermarket.

But I'm concerned that the new markets we're getting here aren't going to be useful to this downtown resident. I never used the Blue Jackalope because it was just way too small to be useful in lieu of a midweek trip to the supermarket. Both of these new markets seem like they're going to be extremely small.

If they're as small as I think, or if they close too early in the evenings (before 9pm), I probably won't be able to utilize them.

I walked by the CAMS site yesterday and it's actually larger than I had set it in my mind's eye. There is plenty of space there for a market and prepared foods/coffee place.

Appreciate it.

I know the area well and that really helped me out.  So it'll be directly East of New Medio.  Hopefully it'll help spur something in the old Fuelman lot.

Looks like plenty of parking next to the building. Great location next to the Ball Field.

That parking lot will (hopefully) disappear soon as it fronts Elgin by the ballpark.  Hopefully loft apartments overlooking the stadium with streetfront retail/restaurant space.  There is parking across the street though between Cincinnati and Detroit, and lots of street parking.

Do you know something we dont? 

I hate that lot so, so much.  I remember when the feulman station was there. It was paved back then (sort of).  It's being used as surface parking is like a giant sybol of the sluggish nature of developers in town. 

Please developmet fairy, bring me a multi-story mixed used building between 4-6 stories that is completely funded and will be built safely in record time.

While I'm at it I might as well wish for a pony.....

Make it a unicorn.

That would be awsome to have a loft apartment with a view of the stadium and all the firework shows they do.

You mean like the 120 lofts plan that TDA rejected?

Isn't the parking lot at Cincy and Archer the site of the future (hopefully) OK POP Museum and unicorn farm?

[jacobi]

Should we find where the members of the TDA live and tell them wheat we think of them in only the politest of ways.

I've heard there will be a similar lofts plan in that location which is controlled by the ballpark trust.  Supposedly it will include a master plan for other parcels around the ballpark as well such as the warehouses directly to the south, and will be mostly mixed-use residential.  I believe the Snyders are involved in this.

The OK Pop museum will be located on Archer between Boston and Cincinnati.  No current plans for the surface lot on Archer between Cincinnati and Detroit.  That would be a good place for a future parking garage to be used by the entire district, especially if the pop museum is built and several other lots dissapear at Main & Archer (Fairfield Hotel), Boston & Archer (Brady Townhomes & Living Arts) and Elgin & Archer.
