Familiar faces, fancy foods
7:07 p.m.
No sign of Mayor Mick Cornett yet, but a few familiar city government faces have shown up.
City Manager Jim Couch, Ward 1 Councilman Gary Marrs, some city planners and even former Oklahoma City Public Schools Superintendent John Q. Porter are milling about the Purple Bar here at Nonna’s.
The crowd – about three dozen right now – is sipping drinks and trying out the contemporary gourmet appetizers spread out across the bar.
There’s cheese trays, chicken wrapped in artichoke hearts with an orange marmalade, Nonna’s famous meatball, Mediterranean breads, sirloin strips, pineapple trees and all manner of colorful treats ready for tasting.
I had a Sonic shake on the way down here. Not hungry anymore.
OK. Off to mingle.

hijacking a sports franchise? everything has been done above-board in this process including the bennett group’s purchase of the sonics. it happens everywhere all the time: one town us simply trying to improve itself and another town has grown seemingly complacent with the many blessings they have. i’m pretty sure baltimore colts fans would agree this is not how you “hijack” a franchise. this is how you attract big business in order to increase your stature as a larger metroplex.
And when the Ford Center isn’t good enough 10 years after this remodel? If the NBA will move a team, then the NBA will allow the move of your team too.
It must be a hard life…
And by the way, is there any such thing as a live website?

Hijacking a sports franchise is classy. Sure, OKC will now be world renowned — the way Tonya Harding is world renowned. I hope that’s the image you were going for.
