That's a good thought. Could make it a sticky. I can think of at least 2 retail businesses that I'd post up.

Yep me too. Do it.
KrMG POll Yesterday, anyone see the results?
740 am station had a poll on OC. I vvoted and got back results:
88% for OC, 12% against.
Wonder what the final score was.
Must have been STRONGLY in favor of OC, because KRMG is NOT reporting the results of this poll, simply saying there are "strong feelings" on both sides.
Guess it didn't fit the narrative.
Thought it would be interesting for folks here since posts would indicate many for and some against OC, but polls may indicate much broader support for OC, which may be why our politicians always vote "for it" but never pass it.

It's a Tulsa station. Why would you expect anything else from a station in Oklahoma's own San Francisco wannabee?
That's BS. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
You have your opinion. I have mine. And we all know what they say about opinions...
I have no idea what the root cause is for that... but I sure agree with the outcome. I spent a few days in Philadelphia and I was very, very, very jealous of their produce. I live in Craig County and I'm pretty much stuck with Wal-Mart. I'm not one of those anti-Wal-Mart types. But the worst thing about their grocery stores is the produce. It's hard to eat enough fruits and vegetables when you have to eat what they are selling!

The way I am reading what is happening re: giant grocers not wanting to be in OK relates to the profit margin on beer and wine sales. Since OK only allows 3 point beer the big grocers don't make enough profit overall to make being in OK worth their time and resources when they can make more in states that allow unwatered beer and wine. The grocers that are here in OK, because they must work with lower profit margins (even efficient grocers run profit margins in the 1.5 to 2.5% range), can't afford to buy the best produce available - Crest for example has the worst produce of any grocer my wife and I have ever shopped at and it has been that way since I moved to OK in '85. So the theory is let OK grocery stores sell real beer and wine, they earn higher profits and can then afford to buy better produce to put on their shelves.
Because better produce, even if it has to be sold as a loss leader, brings in more people to buy more profitable goods.
