Someone commented that the buildings in Lower Bricktown are worse than those on Memorial Rd. I ate at Sonic in Bricktown today and took a closer look at the buildings. I disagree with the assessment I mentioned in my first statement. Although the building aren't as large as I had hoped, they do at least fit in with the "Brick"town decor. The Sonic Building, the Sonic Restaurant/NBN building, and the Earls/Marble Slab building are all covered mostly in brick. That's better than the concrete pre-fab and concrete block buildings on Memorial Rd.

I took a closer look at the theater. Sure, it isn't brick, but it is quite colorful. It isn't dull appearing like AMC, Regal 16, and Tinsletown.
I'll admit, the building could've been constructed in a more urban manner, with parking underneath, but it isn't a bad start in an area that had very little just 2 to 3 years ago.

One thing we have to consider....Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither will Lower Bricktown.

10-20 years from now, I think Bricktown will look completely different than it does today. I'd imagine the smaller buildings will be gone, replaced by taller buildings due to demand. I'll imagine that parking problems will still be an issue, but surface lots will disappear as development continues.

Things could be worse. At least the theater was built right on the canal. It could've been separated from the canal by a sea of concrete like Bass Pro. Instead, parking is next to and behind the theater.

There are still a few sites to develop....

1. The site between the theater and Toby Keith's.
2. A site just southwest of Bass Pro on the canal
3. The site Luke mentioned.
4. The Hammons Hotel site (hopefully that will still be a fine development)

And don't forget land available on the north canal, and empty warehouses still on the north canal.
