It is pretty rare to have open parking spaces in front of the shop in the early evening. It is the week following Thanksgiving, and it could be that people are at home recovering from Black Friday, Cyber Monday (with Small Business Saturday wedged in between), and those dollars spent on turkey and the fixin’s.
Not just the Rose District on Wednesday evening, either. Fab reported her first slow day in years in Midtown with only a slight increase in hungry-traffic from breakfast to lunch.
I took the opportunity to take some pictures – strolling outside just after dusk. A cool evening, the breeze having died down. Not cold, but comfortable for this late in November. Delicious is drifting by, no doubt something on the grill at the Main Street Tavern. Click on the image to join me on the street corner…
In the darkness of the twilight, it is a little easier to see inside the shop. The window tinting makes for a greatly reduced electric bill, but makes it tough to peer in during the day. And it’s clear that I need some outside lettering on the windows to replace the hard to read computer printed sign taped up on the inside. (That’s been in the plans all along, but all things have their time and place on the priority list.)
The awning stands right out though.
There is news in the Tulsa World this morning about imminent announcements regarding the Rose District, including further restaurant plans. There have been rumors along Main Street for a time, and it is exciting that the details will shortly be shared.
I’m happy to be a part of the new Rose District, and there are changes and new announcements being readied for McHuston Booksellers and Irish Bistro as well.
Stop in and see us, or at least – keep in touch!
