    Re: Oklahoma City Economic Reports

    The dip in sales tax revenue is definitely not good news, as that means local businesses are pulling in less revenue as well. Considering the duration and severity in the drop of oil/gas prices,...

    Re: ~ 800 new jobs in OKC thanks to Boeing

    Hopefully they'll give the option to transfer to some of the Wichita employees. That's at least not too far of a move to make for work.

    Re: Anyone been to the Five Guys in University Park?

    I actually have the opposite relationship with Five Guys. I don't care for the Fries but love the burgers. Strangely this is an argument my friends and I have had at length.

    Re: The Modern Streetcar and Commuter Transit Project in MAPS 3 Progresses

    Thanks ljbab, I lived in Istanbul over the summer and was about to unleash some hate :D I crossed between Europe and Asia over the Bosphorus on a daily basis for three months.
  5. Re: HB 1686 - Eastern Flyer Task Force Passes in House and Senate

    The current line between okc-tulsa is very snake-like, but the State owns that rail (up to Sapulpa) and can do whatever it wants with it. It's not at the mercy of companies like BNSF as it is in a...

    It's going to suck terribly. Thankfully I live in Norman a 10 minute bus ride from where I work, but many aren't so lucky.
  7. Re: Any experience with Cricket or Metro PCS? How's the coverage and roaming in OKC?

    I can tell you in general that Cricket's coverage is pretty good in and around the city, but once you stray fairly far out it falls off quickly. If you don't spend a lot time in the country I doubt...

  10. Re: High-speed rail to link Tulsa\OKC\Dallas and more...

    I'm not sure if anyone here would know or not, but from a technical perspective is it impossible to build tracks that can handle high speed (at least what the acela can do) but still be fully useable...
  11. Re: High-speed rail to link Tulsa\OKC\Dallas and more...

    Some people just prefer to avoid the hell of flying as much as possible, especially for a short trip like Dallas. Also for anyone who has seen the TGV in europe the Shanghai transrapid in China it's...
  12. Re: High-speed rail to link Tulsa\OKC\Dallas and more...

    How many train stations have you been through? The security process is totally different, the most you generally see is randomized visits from sniffer dogs. The TSA has little to nothing to do with...
  13. Re: High-speed rail to link Tulsa\OKC\Dallas and more...

    Very true, considering Tulsa can't even pay for their street lights I'm curious to see how they'd pull this off. I fully believe they're capable of it, they just need leadership with a good long-term...

    Re: Oklahoma 2010 Census Results

    We were outgrown by Wyoming? Ouch. Admittedly with a population that small it doesn't take much to move the percentages, but still.

    Re: Can OKC Learn From Tulsa's Vision 2025?

    I think it's a legitimate question, Vision 2025 HAS done well in kicking off some major projects (something which Tulsa is traditionally bad at). Although I certainly don't have the urban planning...

    Re: The Modern Streetcar and Commuter Transit Project in MAPS 3 Progresses

    Not to downplay our eastern neighbor (I'm from Tulsa), but i'd really be more interested in HSR to Dallas. What you mention is spot on, Tulsa has no real public-transit to speak of. Although DART...

    It's the same here in Norman. The former Albertsons are nice, well-kept stores, while the actual Homelands are terrifying eyesores.

    Amen. At the very least we can work hard to try and get back to that vision though. One day we WILL be a top city with an excellent transit infrastructure. A big part of that is working to lay the...

    Re: H&M commercials lately in the 405

    In this case there are vast swaths of the country they don't have stores in at all, and sadly as a poster above mentioned their online sales site is nonexistent. I would LOVE for H&M to come here,...
