    LOL, sorry I must have missed your version. Here I was thinking I was pretty clever. Thanks for noticing the Thunder colors; that part was NOT an accident...

    I can't imagine having 3 new things each day to worry about.

    And he even backed it up by saying that if, for some reason, it doesn't come to pass, he will personally stand in the middle of Myriad Gardens and eat his hat.

    Ok, I lied. He said no such thing. I'm a disgraceful liar.
    Call me a pessimist, but, I have lived in and/or followed Oklahoma goings on all my life and I know of too many "projects" to recount planned in Oklahoma that never see the light of day. In this case, I will believe it when I see it. If something does occur expect it to be "less" than what we expect, Hope I am wrong, but history says I won't be.

    Yep, you are a pessimist.

    History also says Oklahoma City shouldn't be a city that is considered by many people that are looking for a new start in one of the best economies in the nation. History can tell you a lot of things, but it can also show how fast things change. History says a lot of things that the present & recent past are proving to be just that, history.

    I expect something to happen & I expect it to be on par or above what we've expected. But just like you're a pessimist, I may be too optimistic. We'll see soon enough.

    Exactly. If you look around at all the development going on in DT and Bricktown, as well as other districts, it takes about two seconds to realize things are different here now.

    It is easy to remember the projects that went unrealized. It is equally as easy to forget those that are realized. Most of all, it is easy to take for granted those that exceed our expectations. Devon Energy Center was discussed as a 37 story tower. Now, it is a 50 story icon. None of us, not even the original visionaries of MAPS, ever expected private investment downtown to run into billions of dollars.

    And yet, when one project goes unrealized, we forget the entire success story. My fellow OKCitians, enjoy our city now, each and every day. Before we notice, new proposals for downtown will catch us by surprise.
    Continue the Renaissance!!!

    It amazes me seeing the developments in NYC and Houston. I just can't believe so many new projects in the last 5 months being announced in NYC with the economy and increasing taxes. The projects in Houston just seem to be multiplying. It was funny seeing one picture of the projects and you could see the humidity and smog hazing the buildings in the distance. I just hope we can get one of these projects here. I would love to see a 30-40 story residential tower somewhere downtown. Something new and modern, I would definitely move into one.

    I know that this has absolutely nothing to do with Oklahoma City or the mystery tower, but can someone point me in the direction of some sort of talk forum for Houston that shows the projects going up, if one does exist?

    Though I would honestly rather trade all the smaller Chase Tower sized buildings around it for one really tall tower.
