If only their food weren't awful. I do like their bread. I’ve always enjoyed Spaghetti Warehouse’s atmosphere. If only their food weren’t awful. I do like their bread.

I think it's a tough call - do you highlight the district's amenities overall, or do you highlight the district's cohesiveness in all of its amenities? A unified celebration of the district in each structure would be an effort for the Bricktown Assoc. to tackle. I think you might end up attracting more business in general if each facility can design a unique facility. I attended a Route 66 marketing workshop a while ago and listened to a discussion on a similar issue. Is it better to design your new Route 66-located store with a large variety of Route 66 memorabilia, or do you design it completely unique? Going with the unique, option, it's location on Route 66 makes it a new attraction, hopefully reinvigorating the brand of Route 66, not regurgitating passe Route 66 history. For Bricktown, it would mean designing facilities to match their building, make each space different and wonderful in relation to the space's own history, but not necessarily showing much of Bricktown as a whole...

We enjoyed it. We ate there on our first date on Dec. 31, 1990, and had to wait a very long time to get seated. We've been back a few times, but not recently ... until today.
