    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    We need this lot developed, and towers are great, but that doesn't fit in much with Bricktown. Something like that, if built, fits in better next to the park. Heck, in the lot by Paycom and Myriad...

    Re: New Downtown Arena

    It really needs to be the Cox site. If a tunnel can be built that pours right into the canal, that would do so much for revitalizing the canal and Bricktown in general. Right now, Paycom feels...

    Re: Boutique Hotel (formerly The Falls)

    A hotel on the canal is awesome and needed. I'm a little curious about location and rendering. I've been hoping for one on the lot next to the old zios location, but maybe both can happen.

    I just wish they incorporated a canal expansion into this. They may be able to have a lagoon, whatever...just loop the canal back to the corner of the old sushi place and Harkins. It would liven up...

    Does Bar K provide doggie day care? If it does, it makes sense, because then people can drop their dogs off there and then do the Riversports Rapids/Adventures.

    I guess I will be the one to defend Riversports Rapids.

    I've had a Rafting season pass for 3 years now, and go 1-2 a week whenever they are open. So I've maybe rafted 100 times or so. The Rafting...

    This would be awesome. There is very little that can be done in that sliver next to the Boathouse, the River, and I-40. What's interesting is there is no road access to it (which begs how it will...
