The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

ReGranding

Last spring, when I drove the entirety of Grand Boulevard, I noted that the pavement south of NE 36th Street was deteriorating, which could be taken as a euphemism.

The city has now decided to do something about it. From the Consent Docket from last week's City Council minutes:

Agreement with Oklahoma County Commissioners of Oklahoma County for Street Improvements PJ-OK-93, Grand Boulevard, NE 36th Street to NE 30th Street and NE 34th Street and Grand Boulevard to 510 feet east, January 3, 2006 through June 30, 2006.

This will be useful when they start seriously promoting this Adventure District business — the Oklahoma Railway Museum is right along this stretch — and it will make some of my drives home a little less stressful.

While we're discussing this area of town, I note with some sadness the closing of the Krispy King chicken joint on 23rd west of I-35. Popeye and the Colonel presumably are feasting on its bones.
