Re: Lower Bricktown: is it what we were promised?
Hmm....looks like Hogan didn't stick with his original plans. The original pics show two story building, with a 2nd floor side walk, similar to that on the North canal. That obviously never happened.
Also, he originally promised a Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill. That never happened. Then a Jamaba Juice. That never happened. Then a Sega Gameworks. That never happened.
I admit, I like the smaller, but still large theater. And we probably didn't need an IMAX, as we already have an IWERKS at Omniplex, that doesn't do too well.
I always thought a 22 screen theater was a little large for an urban area.
Moshe Tal's plan wasn't much more urban though. It included a mall the size of Crossroads and Quail Springs combined! to be realistic, I doubt we could've supported another mall, at least as large as he was proposing!
I do think Hogan needs to consider developing more sites on the canal. Let's get rid of these surface lots, and make Lower Bricktown more dense.
