UPDATE 02/08 : The Beverly's Pancake Corner in Oklahoma City has moved a mile or two west along the NW Expressway. The current building pictured above is to come down Monday January 7, 2008. They took over "Madison's Pancake Place" at NW Expressway & Independence, and are now open 24 hours! However, the iconic pole sign by the street is going to be auctioned off  The minimum bid, according to the auctioneer, was $10,000.   Renee, Beverly's owner, was forced to move because the owners of the building are tearing it down. According to The Oklahomian, the old site will soon be home to Talbot's, the upscale women's clothing store. Many thanks to Mark Alfred for update. 02-08
