What a bummer! I really liked that building.

That was the result of a meth lab gone wrong. Or thats what I heard.

Terrible loss - a loss of history, a loss of community, a loss of an era. J Paul Getty had an office in that building shortly after it was opened; many new oil businesses were launched there. And that corner had one tenant in 99 years... Breaks my heart thinking of it.

Thanks for the video, though.

@mayb10 Wasn't there a hobby shop there at one time? I remember going to look at model trains and I think the shop was called Hobby Lobby and was in the May's Bother's building. It's kinda sad to see a piece of history go.

I can't believe it. Almost one hundred years. Too bad, Pizza Nostra was awesome!!!

I do hope they can restore it. I know many of the spaces had been renovated in the past few years. I live in Oregon but grew up in Bartlesville; pretty much lived at my Dad's shop on Johnstone. so sorry to hear of this latest setback.

@bogey4ever Interesting. Which do you like better? Otrgon or Oklahoma. I'm thinking of relocating from L.A. to one of those states. I'd love to hear peoples opinions.

Peace

Thanks for the video. I went down about 11:00 this morning and that's what I saw. Too bad. This was a real landmark here in town.
