    Re: 2024 Oklahoma City Aviation Thread

    This is the reason. Besides I hate the Hunger Games boarding, but the Companion Pass from the credit card tempted me tbh. I decided to remain an AA loyalist due to the places we fly and we don't mind...

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    This seems pretty reasonable and attainable actually. I'd still like to move the whole thing though.

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    If it were up to me, I'd move the entire thing over to the the former Ford dealer block west of Paycom, get the first three buildings done (minus some of the garish Vegas style lighting), and then...

    After seeing the video that shows the interior of the place, it isn't surprising. Performative. I'll leave it at that.

    Re: Paycom Center (formerly Chesapeake Arena)

    They're already doing this as much as reasonably feasible given the street layout and BNSF viaduct in OKC. That rendering of the KCMO proposal doesn't really show I-70 running between the arena and...

    Oh what I would give for this place to just get rain. No hand wringing over a thunderstorm, no excitement over chasing tornadoes. Just regular old rain without any drama.......

    Re: CE Page Airport

    If BNSF and / or UP were to build an intermodal facility there it could become a huge logistics hub. Probably not on the level of Alliance TX, and maybe OKC is too close to Alliance to make it viable...

    Re: The Spaniard (formerly The Elliott)

    This is really cool. For anyone that insists in saying nothing is ever done "right" as far as urban development in OKC, I present Exhibit A in refuting that falsehood.

    In my opinion (which carries as much weight as the amount of $$$ I've put into this project) this entire development makes much more sense at that site. If I were the city, I might try to broker some...

    In fact, it is the opposite of cutting edge - it is the way we once built villages, town, and cities. These are always the most desirable parts of urban areas and the places Americans love to visit...

    Re: OAK (formerly Penn Central)

    This is going to be a very nice area - and certain to be jammed for the first several weeks/months. Hopefully it will be wildly successful and encourage more development like this around the metro.

    Any chance Kimray might shift some of their administrative employees to downtown?? Admittedly I know very little about them, but it seems like they have a lot of people in several buildings.
