I’m sure there are other reporters who would handle it this way too. My only reason in sharing all this was to explain why things were so awkward when I first blogged about this last week.

Respectful and befitting of such a great old institution. I shopped only occasionally at Crescent, and it seemed to always be around the holidays. Festive!

However, two successful grocers will arise from this – one in the Crescent’s former space at Nichols Hills Plaza, and another in downtown/midtown/Deep Deuce. The Nichols Hills crowd will go to the Crescent’s successor if they position it like Eatzi’s in Dallas (and other market).

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:50:54 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/?p=6546#comment-37687 Steve I believe you handled the story with the appropriate grace and style for those involved. I do not share your respect for your fellow journalist but that is for another time and place.

Pemberton has the option of presiding over and bringing to a close the end of an era in OKC that will never return or he can react badly. I hope and pray he handles the finale with diginity and grace befitting the institution that is Crescent Market.
