I agree with you, but what you believe, and what the retailers are actually saying are two different things. Reality is that the high end retailers ARE NOT considering OKC because of our demographics. In regards to Tulsa, if you look at demographics, they're actually better in Tulsa. That's not to say we don't have areas of concentrated wealth in OKC. But, from all of the demographic studies, Tulsa is stronger in this area. Also, Saks is getting dirt cheap rent in Utica Square.
