    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    If everything in the development happens EXCEPT for the supertall, that will still be a huge win for OKC and the kind of development that's been missing in downtown.

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    The biggest OKC development dissappointment of the 2010s. When that was announced, the developer and the city were pretty confident that at least one of the towers would get built. The other three...

    Re: Penn Square Mall

    Dillard's has weathered the downturn for department stores better than most. I think fewer stores and dedication to the stores they have has helped. Macy's is a house of cards waiting to collapse. ...

    Re: Okc Radio DJ's I Remember

    I had always wished they would have left Wild 97.9 on 98.1 instead of making 98.1 the sports station and changing Wild 97.9 to Wild 104.9. From my memory, that was the beginning of the station's...

    Re: Okc Radio DJ's I Remember

    I forgot about "Who let the Sooners Out" until you just mentioned it. I remember loving that at the time. TJ and Tooker was replaced by Kidd Kraddick, a national syndicated morning show host that...
  6. Re: 94.7 Dropping KREF Programming - Format Flip?

    I agree. Cumulus gave local control back in the late 2010s and their stations were a lot better for a while. I no longer live in an area with Cumulus stations so I can't comment on how they are...
  7. Re: 94.7 Dropping KREF Programming - Format Flip?

    I think consolidation was the biggest factor. Most stations are owned by one of just a few companies. You no longer have local radio with the personality of that community. Do you think there's...

    Re: Something big coming?

    I believe the Boardwalk development is what it always has been. Think about it. As great as many of the proposals in OKC have been (including those that didn't get built), none of them were on the...
  9. Re: 94.7 Dropping KREF Programming - Format Flip?

    This is true. I remember the era of KJ-103 when they used to speed up the songs. You would get used to hearing the sped up versions and then you'd listen to the CD and it would sound different. ...

    iHeartMedia seems to be simply trying to make as much cash from its stations as possible in the short term rather than trying to compete with streaming. This means syndicating stations and formats...

    Ardmore will survive, but the loss of a manufacturing base usually means increasing disparity between the haves and have nots and a lower quality of life for everyone except for the rich. Fort...

    Re: Oklahoma Breweries

    OKC really needs to market itself as a beer city more. It has a better beer scene and a greater variety than a lot of larger cities. I'd say it's easily on par with Colorado.

    It's one of the last legacies of the 3.2 beer era. One of the reasons changing Oklahoma's liquor laws was so difficult is because there were so many restrictions on strong beer that didn't apply to...

    'Reefer Madness' was the public campaign starting in the 1930s to stigmatize and criminalize marijuana. There was a propaganda film in 1936. The campaign worked and is the reason why smoking...

    Re: Cannabis

    It was because of a lack of religious organization against it and youth turnout was high. Today, the churches were bussing people to the polls. Young voters didn't turn out to cancel them out.

    Dems may or may not care, but Republicans care about it and will never allow it to be legalized.

    That's about right for the quality of the food. I do have a soft spot for White Castle though because it was a big deal for me in my early 20s. I just have to be in a specific mood.

    That's exactly what White Castle is. It's drunk/high food for people in their early twenties. I have a lot of nostalgia for White Castle, but last time I ate there I thought I was going to be sick...

    Working on this asset in Cities Skylines. These gas stations used to be all over OKC in the 90s but disappeared sometime around 2000.
