People! They must be cold..



New chocolate and espresso bar ala CoCo Flow

This could almost be a cool street..if it weren’t just a parking lot entrance

A very rapidly expanding company..which being in Bricktown is important to their goal of recruiting young college grads.



A great place to eat in Deep Deuce




I love it when buildings with contemporary design merits build off of each other





Not anywhere near Bricktown






New Sage Gourmet Market & Deli..great place




About ready for move-ins


A mixed-use renovation





There at the end of the street is the old Calvary Baptist Church..Martin Luther King once applied for a job as their pastor but was turned down because he was "too old"..a church in Birmingham instead hired him and the rest is history.
