But then you'd fall out of favor with "This Land Press" and their followers that are trying to abolish any mention of the word Brady in Tulsa.  They successfully sought the removal of "Brady" from "The Brady Tavern" and its now just "The Tavern".  I certainly agree with their sentiment, but choose to use the past as a guide for future behavior rather than seek to erase any record of the sins of our predecessors.

I guess next on the list is Washington County. I mean after all, G.W. was a slave owner.

I'm with you. Things that we now consider reprehensable should not be used to diminish the significance of people in the past. It's one thing if they lied and cheated to get to the top.

They could add in heavy beat house music after 10PM and call it the P-rhyme.



That's like the other day when the customer disservice person at Microsoft asked me for my "street name" and I told her "Funk Master G." 
She said "No sir, your I mean your street address."

I despise that name change, mainly  because "The Tavern" is a completely generic, forgettable name. I can never even remember the name when I'm trying to look them up. If they're going to drop Brady, replace it with something. Tavern is not a name. It's a description of the type of business.

I don't think everyone involved with the investment group was thrilled either, particularly with the expense involved in re-branding a restaurant.

Both spellings are mistakes in my opinion.  Why confuse people?  We live in Oklahoma.  Land of tortil-las and qwessadil-las.

Seriously...now my brain's reading it as "P-Rhyme".  P to the pizzo, R to the rizzo...

"Tulsa Prime" would be both simply and descriptive.  Plus, it rhymes (snicker) with Tulsa Time, as in "Living on Tulsa Time."

I initially pronounced the name "Frime" because of the "Ph" at the beginning.

This was, of course, after I eye-rolled seeing the name was in all-caps.

That's how marketing genius works!  Just reaches up and smacks you like that!

I could live on some Tulsa Prime!

It's going to happen all the time.  I've already done it twice on Facebook.  It really is an unfortunate name, but that's just my opinion.

Unfortunate is wearing tight spandex on the medal stand when you're a little excited.  Deliberately choosing a bad name for your upscale establishment is just bad business.
