Very sad to report a historic and iconic restaurant is being torn down for a Discount Tire. I love Oklahoma City and even though I am in Los Angeles trying to pursue my dream of acting, I still do my best to showcase my city, but I will city, Oklahoma City absolutely sucks in regards to preserving historical structures. It is like no gives two shits. There is hardly anything left that is truly unique in the city, tons and tons of vacant land in between all of the sprawl, and yet for some reason, it's like there is a group of people who pick the historic sites to tear down what is there and build something bland.
This even happened with the Stage Center that is now a grass lot because OKC fell for the same things that left it with I.M. Pei disaster that so many beautiful buildings were torn down for and left with parking lots.
Anyways rant over and here is the building
Charcoal Oven which has been opened for over 50 years.
This wonderful development will be taking its place
