I still don't think building an outdoor shopping mall right next to an enclosed indoor shopping mall is a good idea. I'm not opposed to a mixed use development there.

Wow, love your enthusiasm for OKC. I disagree; I believe OKC is more than ready to handle high end retail. OKC should not be saturated with it like Dallas and promote major credit card debt, but we could defiantly handle a few. Tulsa has had a wannabe saks for years, and they are fine.
