61st & Yale Demolition?

[Weatherdemon]

Quiktrip has ethanol free pumps at their store where the old Camelot was.  If it's convenient, you might give them a try.

I did not know that.
I will certainly give them a shot.
Thanks!

101st and Sheridan Shell closed a while back.

And is lookin' super rough.

Arkansas Valley Petroleum, operator of Fiesta Mart, recently purchased that location.  Be curious to see if they reopen it under the new brand.

They've got some work to do to bring it back to decent condition...if they want to bring it back to decent condition.

The Fiesta Marts are nothing special, but they are clean and in good shape. It should be better than what Shell did with it. Who owns the Shell stations locally, surely they aren't corporate?

Chipotle.

Chipotle.

I like Chipotle's offerings.  The one thing I can't stand is their designer's absolute disregard of interior acoustics.  It's just so damn noisy it's hard to enjoy a meal there, same with In The Raw.

Maybe I'm enough of an old fart they don't consider me part of their core demographic and could care less that there really are people who like to eat somewhere without getting an auditory experience similar to going to a concert.

Then definitely don't go to Freebirds World Burrito at Tulsa Hills. We walked in, walked right back out.

I think they require some form of body modification to work there too.

Seems to be a trend, even with the most upscale restaurants.

It's not like acoustic damping is such a challenge; some carpet on the wall does wonders.
Maybe the intent is to make a place sound "alive" when there are few customers, but the degree of headache I walk away with does tend to color my perceptions of a restaurant experience.

Isn't that the same people that owned/operated Git-N-Go?

Thought Git N Go was operated by Hale Halsell....I had a good friend who worked at the office on Pine just south of the airport.

Ate there once, haven't been back.  I loved the Freebirds in Norman, much cozier, it wasn't an auditory splash pad.

Yes they were. I think what I remember is applying for Git-N-Go back in the early 90's, maybe 1993, and the office that I applied at was on 73rd east of Memorial, and I think it was in a building with Arkansas Valley Properties which is associated with Arkansas Valley Petroleum.

I see that 3 of the 4 Fiesta Mart locations are old Git-N-go's.

It looks like the Shell Station at 15th and Main will be yet another surface parking lot for the Boulder Towers.
