What an awesome idea! No sarcasm here, folks. A 900-1100 foot tall oil tower would be da bomb! It would be the tallest self supporting structure in middle america. Have it built over the Oklahoma River close to Bricktown. Boats would come up or down the river and dock right under it. Then one could take the elevator to the observation deck or the restaurant on top. Water could be pumped right out of the river to the top, and every hour on the hour the tower would gush with water that would shoot hundreds of more feet in the air! Some way and some how the water could be made to look like oil. There is no structure in the world that does this. Talk bout iconic! You would see the tower for miles as you approach the city from any direction. People would come from everywhere to see it!

Of course, it would have to be designed to look really cool and not a megalithic eyesore. Some of you may know, the Eiffel Tower was suppose to be temporary, but after a year or so the folks began to really like it and eventually it became the icon of Paris.

Remember my dear fellow citizens, this is OKLAHOMA, and it will always be no matter how many of you wish it wasn't. Anything that will bring the folks here to spend their money is fine for me and my business. Bring on the BIG GUSHER! Hey, that could be it's nickname: BIG GUSH.

I'm calling and sending emails to the powers that be to give my enthusiastic support. How about Maps III or IV for BIG GUSH?!
