Burger King back in the mid 80's tested mini burgers similar to White Castles burgers.

Tulsa was also a test market for Crystal Clear Pepsi. Sorry about that, America.

Wouldn't hold my breath on that one, especially given the caveat they made.  If I'm not mistaken, that was reported in the Jokelahoman last year or maybe even before (about their desire to open one only if the wine/strong beer laws were changed)?

Well there were lots of Dave & Busters before Tulsa.  We were supposed to be a test for the "smaller version," and I think that would be a success if they hadn't plopped it down behind a strip center, off the highway, in the middle of "I don't want to go there" land.

How is that business doing?  I haven't been.  I went to one in Dallas, and it was okay, mostly because I enjoyed the shuffleboard setup they had.  I've heard the Tulsa version doesn't have it.  I also have no desire to fight South Tulsa crowds.  If I want to drink a beer and play a video game, I'll go to the Max.

I went once before it opened.

I suggest The Max as well.

If there is no Ikea in St. Louis or Kansas City. why would there be one here. People in Stl. have to go to Chicago to get cheap yet attractive Swedish designed Chinese crap.

No seriously, IKEA is absolute crap.  Lets not wish for it the same way we dont wish for a cloud of mustard gas.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A group has filed an initiative petition that could lead to wine sales in some Oklahoma retail outlets.


The petition filed by Oklahomans for Modern Laws would allow counties of 50,000 people or more to vote on whether to approve wine sales in retail outlets of at least 25,000 square feet.


Sound like Costco?
