OKC Going On A Diet....Literally

[happytown]

[quote=cindycat;2530122]Didn't Eddy's close at the end of the year? I read that the owners were retiring and didn't want to trust the quality and reputation to anyone else.

I'm sorry to hear about the Crescent Market. When Kurt Fleishfresser would have some unusual ingredient at The Coach House or in cooking classes, we could usually find it at the Crescent. In our early married years - early 70's - when you didn't find gourmet food of any sort in grocery stores, we bought frozen chicken kiev and cordon blue at the Crescent. Really fancy stuff for the time. And their ham salad...omigosh. somebody hang on to that recipe!

We're ready to leave western Washington and I want to move back to OKC. Sounds like I'd better hurry if I want a Crescent fix. Just as long as Braums is still there, we'll be OK. [quote]

Crescent market and NH Drug will be really missed. They will put in a whole foods or whatever but it will be nothing like Cresent/Drug.
Hurry back to OKC and look into Edgemere or another historic neighborhood. The homes are being bought by developers/renovated then sold for a profit. I recently found a home in NHills (a beauty) for only 150,000!! The reason it was for that price was because the laundry hookups were in the garage. A developer (Red Eagle or something) bought it fast and renovated. The company is now selling it for 325,000. Of course it now has hook ups in the home and a fancy pool...But they are def making a big profit. Braums is still here and actually most of them have a small produce/tiny grocery inside which is very convenient.
