So does anyone know what the announcement will be that Mick Cornett, Ron Norick & Larry Nichols will be making at the Meridian Boat Landing July 19th??

We got the Marlins?

-- all thanks to the hard work of Representative Mary Fallin.

Perhaps the start of the new water taxi service?

Why would they be so top secret about that?

Well, I'm guessing it will have something to do with the River Taxi's. After all former Mayor Ron Norick is on the Riverfront Redevelopment Authority. That's my bet. I know they are supposed to be operational by September. Perhaps they'll be here sooner or break ground on the docks/loading areas. Perhaps Devon is donating some money to get some work started on fishing/boat docks, etc.

Misty where did you get your info and do you have an article?

I saw an invitation to the announcement, it was the first I've heard. The invite says "Devon" on the outside and inside has the Devon, City of OKC, OKC Riverfront Redevelopment Authority and Metro Transit logos.

Oh, then without a doubt it has something to do with the river taxi's. If Ron Norick, Riverfront Redevelopment Authority, and Metro Transit are involved. I'm sure Devon is just a corporate sponsor.

I wonder where they will be taking people? Man, I sure would like to see a big deal like this for our bus system.
