OK, so you plan to attend the OSTA Fall Conference (and you really need to attend this year), even though you forgot to pre-register. Yes, you’ll miss the luncheon and the opportunity to network with other state teachers and honor this year’s OSTA Awardees. But enough time is built into the days’ schedule that you’ll be able to zip out for lunch and return in ample time for the afternoon workshop offerings.
If you haven’t been to Edmond for a few years, you’re in for a treat (or shock as it were for some of us old-timers who were undergrads at UCO in the early ’70’s and remember when this place was a trailer park, or that place was a field, or where the Broncho Drive-in was). The place is really booming and there are a lot of places to grab lunch within a half-mile or so of the UCO Campus. Here is a list of some places you might want to check out:
Flat Tire Burgers 318 E Ayers St (North on University a few block from the conference site) Local off-campus favorite. Indoor and split-level patio dining with a bicycle theme.
Interurban 1301 E Danforth Rd (North of the Campus on Danforth and Bryant) A local chain restaurant with Burgers, Mexican, Steak, Pasta fare.
Ted Cafe’ Escondido 801 E Danforth Rd (North of the campus) One of several in the OKC area famous for gut-busting portions of your Tex-Mex favorites. Really, ask for the to-go box first so you won’t be miserable.
Mc Alister’s Deli 1021 E 2nd St (just south and east of the campus on) A chain restaurant featuring a variety of hearty deli sandwiches.
These are just a start of what turns out to be a very extensive list. Just east of the campus on 2nd street is a collection of most of the franchise fast food restaurants you will ever find in any strip-mall/ Home Depot-laden area built within the last 10 years. A Google search yielded this map from which you may locate your favorite source of calories (“Look at all the little red dots…”).
Bon Appetit!
