Ace Jackalope pays a visit to and shoots a lot of excellent photos Tulsa’s Metro Diner, which may or may not be in its final days. Either way, the current location will eventually make way for a new entrance to the University of Tulsa.
This isn’t a hopeful sign for the Metro’s future in a new location, though:
An employee told me the business was not likely to relocate and that it’s artifacts will soon be auctioned. The general consensus of employees I chatted with was that the closing date could be anytime from September 1st to the end of the year, but September 1st seemed to be the most-assumed date; some have already found other work.
This may be true, or may be just grist from the employees’ rumor mill. I reported about a month ago on the Metro Diner here, and it sounded like the current owner was cautiously optimistic about relocating.
We’ll try to keep abreast of the situation.
