    Re: Harrison & NE 5th

    There's nothing wrong with housing at this location. It wouldn't feel any more isolated than the Metropolitan or than Block 42, both of which are bounded by the highway and back onto 4-lane roads....

    Re: Wheeler District

    I had the same thought, but the cleared area is actually within both the Wheeler District LLC property and County property, at least per the County Assessor's maps (and Pete's graphic upthread). Of...

    That tongue of trees extending west-northwest of the main wooded area is gone as of yesterday. There may have been one large cottonwood left but that was it. And the equipment was starting to move...

    Re: Wiley Post Park

    Completely agree. I'm sure money is the issue but the Robinson and Walker crossings would be so easy: they have parkland on both banks and plenty of room. I could see trouble with something like the...

    Re: Wiley Post Park

    Very impressed with how this turned out (and it's not even done yet)! I think the biggest improvement was breaking up the absolutely enormous parking lot that used to take up the whole middle of the...

    Re: Scissortail Park

    SW 15 will remain open between S Robinson Ave. and S Harvey Ave. I think it would be ideal if they closed SW 15 but in my experience it doesn't get all that much traffic between Robinson and Walker,...

    Re: 2022 OKC Mayoral Race

    I would think Stone is at the point that he would do anything for a paycheck. I am doubtful that his presence says much about the competitiveness or non-competitiveness of the mayoral race.

  12. Re: What is the oldest standing building/structure in OKC metro area?

    I am skeptical that 1841 NW 15 was built in 1896. It sits on lots 15 and 16 of block A of the College Addition, which appears to have been platted by Guy E. Blackwelder in 1908 or 1909. I say...

    Re: Pull-A-Part

    This area's access problems are certainly severe and my guess is that environmental remediation might be tough, too. Obviously the swap for the OG&E substation land didn't help. But I think a lot of...

    Right, I think we agree in general terms. My point is simply that mandating retail space in every Downtown development without changing the other aspects of the development situation won’t have the...

    I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere. I did a few searches and couldn't find anything.

    Anyway, the old Rene Apts at NW 13 and N Francis Ave (1312 and 1316 N Francis) have been fenced...

    If TTC denies their approval for the proposed change, do you know if can it be appealed to Council? Or can Council "pull" it out of TTC and vote on it directly? Seems weird or wrong that TTC could...
