The new signs say it all: Hobby’s Hoagies. Nothing beats a franchise sub-shop than a top-notch local.  The folks at Legacy at Arts Quarter are in for a treat.

Here’s part of a review from from www.eataroundokc.com:

Hobby’s Hoagies: the best sandwiches in Oklahoma City

Hobby’s Hoagies is located at 222 S. Santa Fe in Edmond, north of Oklahoma City (map). They are open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 9pm and Sunday from 11am to 3pm. For more information, visit their website.

“This ain’t Subway.”

That is what I heard George Hobson, owner of Hobby’s Hoagies, tell a customer more than a decade ago. There’s no production line at Hobby’s. You can ask for something to be left off, but if you don’t say anything, they’ll make it the same way they always do — delicious.

I’ve had the pizza at Hobby’s. I’ve had the spaghetti. But if you’re going to Hobby’s Hoagies, do yourself a favor and get a sandwich, because it’s one of the best you’ll ever have.

Most sandwiches come in two sizes at Hobby’s — 7-inch or footlong — and they all come with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, oils, spices and Hobby’s special hoagie peppers on a homemade Italian roll.

That pillowy bread is a big part of the appeal. Unlike some of the stale rolls you’ll get at other sandwich shops, Hobby’s rolls are soft and satisfying, soaking up the oils and flavors of the sandwiches.

Sweet. This is very close to my house but I hadn’t noticed it yet. Can’t wait to try it.

Thanks for the heads up, Steve.

Aug. 17 Oklahoman says “Lackmeyer provides a comprehensive look at downtown trolley system”.
I find no correspondding information. Please tell me if I missed it.
This is important info for me. I am hosting a reunion in OKC in Oct
These people are 75 plus [read "comfortably fixed" ] and we plan to utilize the trolley system to locomote around for dinner and museum and memorial and park excursions. Walking is no problem for me. I still compete in foot races, but some of these folks do not do so well and a half mile walk is not doable. So what is the scoop on the trolley system ?

Go down one more post. It’s actually about problems with the trolley system and proposed solutions.
