Chipoltes going in at 15th/Trenton, at a detriment

[charky]

I just hope parking doesn't trickle more into the neighborhood (southward on Trenton) than it already does. I used to live on Trenton between 16th and 17th...and the lunchtime crowd would edge that far south every now and then.

Probably shouldn't have bothered me...but...

First of all, I can't wait for this. I've been eating there for years, and I live near downtown.

Second. IT IS CALLED CHIPOTLE!!!!!

Why are all of you putting an unnecessary 'S' on the end of it.

Sorry, I have some sort of pet pieve with people adding and S to the end of the names of establishments. You never hear about someone going to Quiktrip's.

I guess it's because people have been adding an s to the end of my name for as long as I can remember, and there is no s in my last name.

Wow! It's good to know I am not the only person with this pet peeve.  A few of my friends do it and it drives me absolutely crazy.  Anyways, to contribute to the topic...My parents love Chipotle and would eat there every time they went to dallas (generally once a month or every two months).  They were excited to see the one at 71st and 169.  I personally had never tried it until they came to Tulsa and I must say I wasn't that impressed at all.  Our food was cold, and we waited in line for quite some time.  Maybe its because it is a smaller store and fairly new, but I haven't gone back since.

Got to this thread late. Read Chipoltes and glanced right over it. But wow had my heart sink reading the first few responses. Am glad they are not tearing down that building. (and shaaaaame on you tulsa1603 for suggesting that it would be ok[V])  But this once again shows that we as a city need to do something to make sure that something is in place to prevent the tearing down of older buildings that are a positive, contributing, part of the defining character of an area. Plus the parking issue also needs to be addressed.

Sounds like most everything will go ok in this instance, but the very fact that we must still be worried shows we have work to do.

Sorry didn't mean to give that impression.  I was just saying I could "see" it, meaning I could imagine their line of thought, not that I supported it. [8D]  I'm not all that excited by Chipotle, personally.

The detriment comment was because the OP thought that Chipotle was tearing down a historic Cherry St building which was incorrect.

I agree that another chain restaurant on Cherry St is a detriment, especially since there is already a similar restaurant a few blocks away. I am hoping for more variety in dining options on Cherry St. I'd love to see a Desi Wok or India Palace open up on Cherry St.

Found out this location was deemed to be unsafe for any dining establishment due to ground contamination. They are now "looking at a closed bar on the other side of the street" and are shooting for a november opening.

Ground contamination? As stated earlier in this thread, wasn't a Dry Cleaners a long time tenant? Shouldn't it be easy enough to determine the contaminate and make them be held accountable if it is dry cleaning chemicals? Dining establishments go in over old gas stations all the time. What would deem this site to be unsafe for any dining establishment due to ground contamination?

[sgrizzle]

I'm sure in those gas stations they removed the tanks with no issue. If it was a dry cleaners, I'm guessing they had years of chemical seepage and getting them to clean it up after the fact could take awhile.

well the neighbors to the back should be happy(?)  That spot is practically a dead zone now.  On the other hand, they have to be concerned on what might be seeping into their back yards.
