Hey Gaeddert2, Thanks for that very comprehensive trip through The Oak. This project is nothing less than terrific. Between your and Pete’s drones and Pete’s excellent photographs and updates, the...

What? If you mean ‘dog whistle’ in its modern usage in relation to politics, ummm no. Nothing of the sort. In fact, the suggestion is personally offensive. My reply is fully in context of your...

That’s it, Hot Rod, a conspiracy of some kind. “Everyone” is out to get Oklahoma City. And David Holt and the City of Oklahoma City delayed the sidewalks because — they are part of the conspiracy!
...

Come on, Rick, you’re smarter than to make this silly argument. Do you really think you can compare Paris in 1889 with Oklahoma City in 2024? We’re talking skyscrapers in an age of skyscrapers. I am...

That comparison doesn’t work. The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World’s Fair as a proof of concept for a tall iron attraction. Paris has had a no-skyscrapers height restriction for most of the...

One of the last remaining 7-11 stores without gas pumps — NW 59th and May — is closing. It might already be closed, when I was in they had very little merchandise left. It’s been there just a few...

Well, it wouldn’t be a complete and total shock if the tallest building was proposed for Seattle or Chicago. That’s the point. For it to be in Oklahoma is what makes it sound ridiculous. For it to...

Disagree. I HATE this project. The problem is not people on this forum kicking around strong beliefs,
Rover. A proposal to build the tallest building in the country in Oklahoma City is begging for...

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. It’s all a part of almost any development after the fact. But, the reality is that this group has brought the Mayfair Shopping Center back from the dead. This entire area is...

Well, let’s hope not. My nightmare would be city profile packages during the NBA playoffs talking about this — why wouldn’t they? It’s been talked about now for the last month and the whole “tallest...

The Wall Street Journal is not a magazine, it’s a daily newspaper. It’s also not a NY-centric newspaper, it’s considered a national publication and is well-read by many important people in business....

Tag agencies don’t offer turnpike refunds.

Exactly. Even 50 Penn across the street still has a couple of destination clothing stores that’s fine there, but would be out of place at Penn Square.

Yep. Wouldn’t a balanced skyline look awesome here with even two or three new mid/high rise towers that weren’t some novelty? Why anyone would even hope that supertall had a chance is lost on me....

So, after Morgan’s Facebook post this morning, should we all drive south? There’s a better time for that discussion rather than today with storms hours away, but wow, that alarmist post today sure...

I haven’t seen anything on the forum about the closure of Akin’s at 63rd and N. May. It was rather odd to drive by and see this space emptied out after so many years. Formerly Buttons Home Video,...

In my opinion, this is such an idiotic idea in the first place.

The Oklahoman puff promotion of this project is absurd. Equating things in a public park, lake projects, etc, with somebody...

Cathy was one of those “one-of-a-kind” people. She was a dynamo in everything she did. I first met Sean and Cathy during the days of Boca-Boca and Sean’s first pub up in the Collonade north of May...

Surely the billboard coming down is temporary. My guess is that sign makes some good money at that location.

There’s a big difference between planned early closures and just pulling the gates down before closing time. I’ve run into places closing before their posted times on several occasions within the...

As always, thanks for the great pics. A great project.
In that first picture the survivor tree looks very cold.

Has to be a typo!

Dave Murray of Dave & Dan died two weeks ago today.
Terry Estes (real name) passed just after his 80th birthday.

Thanks, Pete, for all these great pictures over the last week or so.

Remember when the Brown's building was Clyde's?
Quite the modern building for its day.
I remember the Gibson's! It was at 6th and Harvey on the SE corner.
National Memorial property today.
