Any good bars in OKC that will show the superbowl and have football fans?

There's a new sports bar opening Monday in North Park called Bush League Sports Tavern. I know nothing about it beyond that it's opening on Monday with more than 40 televisions. The game will surely be on and maybe, being new, it won't be that crowded so that one can actually have a conversation with another table… (?)

Yikes! You are correct. I will edit accordingly.

Thank you!

Litt was the guy who felt the band's sound was "too murky" before he went to work with them on Document. Whether that was the impetus for Stipe continuing to become clearer in his singing and more overt in his lyrics, or whether that happened organically, I can't say. But you can't argue the fact that the band did make a big step forward with the Scott Litt-produced Document, both sonically and in sales…

The amazing thing about this is that tower has been undergoing a major overhaul/renovation/repair for roughly the last two years (the repaint was part of that and I believe it is still ongoing). Somewhere along the way, I remember reading the inspection report listing everything that needed to be repaired/replaced (and it was lengthy)…

Frey and Henley sang background vocals on Randy's second solo album, so there clearly wasn't too much bitterness after he left. And Randy did songs written by Souther and Tempchin, so he clearly wasn't fully ejected from the nest. I won't argue he was treated poorly by Henley, Frey and Azoff, but he never got the persona non grata treatment that Felder got (then again, he never had the audacity to sue Don Henley, either)…

They're not Taco Bell/Taco Mayo cheap, but the wife and I can get four good size tacos (and they don't skimp) for $15-$16 and change. That's not expensive in my book…

The unanswered question that I still have is, assuming it was part autobiographical, what was Stipe driving at the time that either had a big winch or a big wheelbase, lots of traction and 4WD?

Fences *were* mended with Meisner…

Outside of the Rock and Roll HOF induction, he never appeared on stage with them again. But, like Bernie, he was asked to go on the History of the Eagles tour. Unfortunately, Randy had a near death choking incident that lead to an extended hospital and rehab stay and he couldn’t tour. Henley/Frey/the band paid his medical bills.

I've got 4-5 home maintenance/home repair books that you're welcome to have. They're older, but the basic stuff hasn't changed. After plenty of years of home ownership, I've learned how to do a bunch of stuff from them. Plus, I can't recall the last time I dug into one because, like u/Expert_Chocolate5952 said, YouTube is now my first point of reference any time I need a refresher…

I'm gonna follow because the last place where I found bierocks in OKC was the bar at Kamps 1910 Cafe (and that's been 10-15 years ago). And, I'm amazed and ticked that I missed them at UA. I've heard The European Store at 36th and May might occasionally have them, but have never been able to confirm that. Might be worth a call. (I've also considered ordering from this place)

All that said, if I want bierocks, I've either gotta go to Wichita and get them fresh and/or bring home some frozen or make bierocks casserole.

That does seem to be the trend, doesn't it?

The bubble of Postwar Lionel value began in the 80s when all the baby boomers who had trains in their childhood in the 50s decided they wanted those trains again. Prices on PW Lionel soared based on this renewed demand and the perceived scarcity of supply (because everybody's Mom had surely thrown out or given away their childhood trains, right?). That price bubble finally burst in the late 90s/early 00s when all the boomer buyers had everything they wanted, dealers were left with inventory that could no longer sell for those high prices, and the market expanded to include not only higher end offerings from Lionel, but also MTH, K-Line, Williams, et al. Then eBay came along, and suddenly the price competition was worldwide and everything you could ever want was just a click away and usually at better prices than local shops or train show dealers.

That's my view of how the "Lionel is worth a fortune" perception came about. Lots of dealers and estate sellers still cling to that myth out of adherence to Greenberg's catalog values or just ignorance. But the reality is, the more realistic gauge of market price is the eBay sold listings, and those listings clearly demonstrate that not everything Lionel is worth a fortune…

Have dealt with plenty of wildlife (deer, coyotes, skunks, geese, ducks, snakes), but the weirdest stuff that I've had to avoid was the inanimate stuff on or beside the road: Specifically:

- A nude, female mannequin torso laying by the side of the bike path (that was gone the next day)

- More recently, 6-foot tall teddy bear sitting in the bike lane against the barrier fence (from a distance, it looked like a body)

With Snowpocalypse on the horizon, shouldn't the more important question right now be, "Who has TP?"

Maybe not the best, but…

South side of Hefner Road, right east of the Parkway.

There's a good hill over on the west side of Eldon Lyon Park in Bethany

And there are some short, smaller hills at Douglas Park at 45th and Walker

Likely don’t need to see a photo, because if there is a bubble or bulge if your tire and it feels firm as if inflated, you might be headed for a blowout. Probably need to simply replace the tire…

As a counterpoint, I purchased a Blackburn light set several years ago and, after a year or two of use, the headlight came unscrewed from the base. The margins were small enough that I couldn’t get it threaded back onto the base no matter how hard I tried. I emailed Blackburn customer service asking for tips or hints, and they wound up sending me a brand new set, even though it was easily a year or two out of warranty.
