The cool kids pictured above who look like they just had a nice meal at Red Lobster before going to a Jars of Clay concert are the folks behind Community Church. It's one of the 5,000,000 non-denominational churches in Oklahoma City where people go to pray and sing and hold hands and untuck their dress shirts while wearing a tie and all that other silly stuff.
According to a recent article in The Oklahoman, the church is about to buy and move into an empty space next to the Tower Theatre along NW 23rd. As a result, future development in the area is in jeopardy. Apparently, Oklahoma's ridiculous alcohol and zoning laws would prevent new bars from opening within 300 feet of the church, thus destroying the whimsical hopes and dreams of locals who envision NW 23rd becoming Oklahoma City's version of Austin's Congress Ave.
