101st and Memorial

[FOTD]

Target.....super?

Dallas development group with Troy Aikman as the hook.

The neighbors who want to stop this must live in another world.

Don't see any mention of tenants in the story.

You holding out for a Super WalMart? Oh, yeah, there's one just down the road at 111th. Did it destroy that area?

when it was built it was not abutting a residential neighborhood.

I never would've guessed Inteller was a nimby.

Oh I'm enjoying it immensely.  We should pay to move him downtown--Tulsa probably couldn't hire a more zealous advocate.

Isn't that corner currently home to fireworks stands? It looks like it is and always has been big box bait. Not being snarky, just curious why a neighborhood near an obvious commercial development tract in a suburban setting would be surprised or object to a Target moving in. Isn't that what the burbs are about? Surely better than more huge car lots or an expanded QuikTrip.

I keep hearing that the Super Target is going in at 121st and Memorial. Seemed to be dead for a while but the rumors have come roaring back lately

Hopefully not.  That wouldn't be any help to Tulsa's sales tax collections.

It's apparently dead now.....
Maybe that's who is behind the nimby group at 101st.

Fireworks are the SE corner, this is the NE corner which has been advertising a shopping center that looks like a town square for about 4 years now.

no.

however I wouldn't be surprised if representatives from Bixby gov show up to protest the HUGE stormwater retention problems paving over that corner is going to cause.  Bumgarner has the audacity to think he can make stormwater run uphill into the residential retention pond next door.

I'm not nimby, I'm against incompatible development.  I WANT something on that corner, but something that is compatible with the traffic conditions and character of the surrounding neighborhoods.  At 101st/sheridan you have the Shoppes of Seville....and 101st/Mingo they are getting Plaza del Sol.....but because we are at Memorial we have to settle for a big ****ing box?  I don't think so.
