Default Re: Steve is such a tease...

Okay, looking at the categories...

Categories: Central Business District , Downtown Retail , Urban Renewal Authority , Downtown housing , Architecture , Arts District , Automobile Alley , urban design , downtown hotels , Devon Energy , Bricktown

I can first throw out the fairly generic tags which will inevitably be related to nearly every project downtown, highlighted above.

I'm then left with a list of districts:

Central Business District
Arts District
Automobile Alley
Bricktown

A list of development categories:

Downtown Retail
Downtown housing
downtown hotels

And finally, two entitiies:

Urban Renewal Authority
Devon Energy

I could come up with a hypothesis explaining the relationship between the actors in each of the 'categories' above, e.g., for development categories, I could easily say whatever this is will be mixed use and for the entities, if Devon is going to acquire another parcel of land, they might be doing it through the Urban Renewal Authority (but it'd have to be for public use, so that's complicated), etc.

What I can't explain or even guess at is that this one announcement affects all of these districts except for one possibility:

That this is something which will affect all of downtown OKC in some way and will include mixed use and will be for a public purpose (since Urban Renewal is involved).

But what it is, I have no clue. Guess I'll wait 30 minutes and find out.
