Myriad Gardens

In the video they said the lights on the crystal bridge can be coordinated with those on Devon Tower.

Sure would be nice to get all the taller buildings involved with this and do something similar to that Hong Kong video -- at least on a small scale.

I can see the Chase tower being retrofitted with this, but I don't see how it can be done for the other towers.

Don't expect the Cotter Ranch Tower to ever be retrofitted. Not unless it changes ownership. Similar lighting could be added to many downtown buildings, but the owners would have to find some way to justify the expense other than to just say "Wow, doesn't that look neat?".

"Wow, doesn't that look neat?"

That does justify the expense. Just look at Devon. Lighting have no practical use other than just to impress people with the show.

But many of the buildings downtown really have no particular need to impress people with a show. I'm not saying wouldn't be spectacular, just that it isn't likely to happen on many existing buildings.

Exterior lighting does have a financial benefit to the owners that apply it. It is used as part of the marketing of the building to potential tennants. It also raises the profiles of company owned buildings and is not much different than advertising.

Link? I went to the website and didn't find any.

[Double Edge]

Sorry, you said Facebook page. I'll try that instead of the website. Doh!

Thanks! That's a good one too.

I'll be taking a tour of the Gardens tomorrow (first one in months), so will take lots of pictures to load. Until then, there's this -->

Toured Gardens this afternoon. All I can say is wow, wow, wow! Still lots of work to do in some areas, but overall, they look really spectacular. So much attention to detail.

We're posting pics as I post this, so go check out the flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50408515@N06/?saved=1

It's gonna be so beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product!

All this construction makes me feel like we're getting ready for the Olympics.

It's exciting but not even a fraction

"Children's interactive fountain. This state-of-the-art fountain will cycle through a "thunderstorm" with "thunder" sound effects, mist and light before it "rains." The circles in the ground are fountains that burst up in the shape of flowers."

There was a description under the picture.. lol

This will be the new place to take "out-of-town" guests when visiting Okc for the first time.

Not just first time visitors. My brother from LA grew up here. He's coming home for a visit in two months and this will definitely be on our list of things to see. It looks like it's going to be amazing.

This place looks totally different. I've already forgotten what most of this area used to look like. I'm going to need some before pictures.

I love how you can actually see into the bridge now with the new glass: http://www.flickr.com/photos/5040851...69212/sizes/l/
