Re: Lower Bricktown: is it what we were promised?
I think what we have now is considerably better than those renderings, First of all, they remind me of something straight out of dallas or houston. And second of all, they definatly wouldn't have mixed with the original bricktown concept. What we have now is unique and provokes curiosity from passers by on the highway. I think if someone from Dallas, L.A.,Kansas City, or one of the many other large metros passed by and saw another "town center". they would just keep passing by. Now I am not saying a town center is negative, just the kind shown in that rendering. The Triangle needless to say will be an amazing "town center" unique from many other metros. But all I am saying is I have been to plenty of cities with the type of developments shown above. They amazed me when I was about 7 years old, but now they just bore me to tears. And to me they have been so overdone that they look tacky. I consider them "urban eyesores", but that might be a little harsh. What I like about how Lower bricktown has turned out, is that it is like a painting, we have the main concept illustrated, now all we need to do is fill it in with the vibrant color. Lower bricktown has huge potential, let's just hope Hogan finishes the job right.
