Let's find some new words. The OKC Boulevard was supposed to be "world class." LOL
On that note, merchandise sales have huge profit margins for touring artists now. We've come a long way from the basic black concert t-shirt. Many huge bands, like Metallica, Iron Maiden and Pearl...
I'm not sure why they're keeping the sign. It's hardly "historic." I designed that logo on my brother's Mac, with an X-Acto knife and a sharpie. Makes me laugh every time I see it. My mom saw it in...
I don't have insider information, but historic observations: My office is in the BancFirst building, and I have a picturesque view of the PCC. I always check the schedule and love to watch the...
Because the city doesn't own that site. They already own the Cox/PS site and that alone would save several millions.
I was just at Spark yesterday picking up an order and the manager there said it was def for "Twisters II" shooting.
[QUOTE=Brett;1195911]I've brought my own black ball point pen to fill out the ballot instead of using the communal black pens provided in the cardboard booths. I'm a bit of a germophobe since the...
He retired.
They built protective barrier wall around the new P180 trees! Took someone 10 years to figure out how much construction work damages newly planted trees. This is progress!
Another great story. This is getting serious...

This problem is not going away. It would be a good story to see what cities are actually doing in the 405.

[QUOTE=sroberts24;1097271]Either the number I saw on Nashville were way off or DOKC is way off with their numbers. If DT OKC has 9-11k people living in it then there is no reason we shouldn’t have...
Just for some historical perspective, COTPA (now EMBARK) used to offer free transit rides on Ozone Alert Days. The Alert Day program got a little out of hand in the summer (sometimes up to 19 days a...
A lot of major touring bands own their own stages and set-ups, or they employ their own crew, so it might be a requirement that they use their own stage. Not unusual at all.
There will be damage. It's inevitable. Same thing happened to Bicentenniel Park when the Festival of the Arts was moved there. First year, there was thousands of dollars in irrigation damage. Let's...
[QUOTE=SagerMichael;1090252][QUOTE=midtownokcer;1090248]I'm not sure about that. The MBG retained several mature trees from the 1980s when it first opened. Scissortail has no mature trees whatsoever....
Who are his "handlers?"
The term "world class" always makes me cringe. Mayor Cornett used this phrase all the time to describe the (future) OKC Boulevard.
Years ago, I was at a meeting with LEOs and the chief engineer for the project never referred to the "Boulevard," as a "Boulevard." He kept calling it a "bypass." The other "B" word never emanated...
I lived in the upper floor of a two story house on the NW corner of 18th and Francis in the 1990s. It was literally split in two with the addition of a separate staircase and entrance. The guy who...
That was my first thought, as well!
You should probably read the Commuter Corridors Study. The reason why DT to MWC can't work for commuter rail transit is that the distance between DT and MWC is too short. By the time the train would...
"And she's buying a stairway to...a blank wall."
True story. ODOT's official name for this project is the "I-40 Bypass." I was in a meeting years ago, and the words "OKC Boulevard" never came out of the engineer's mouth.
