Maybe we can build the world's largest tepee. I doubt that a restaurant would fit at the top, but who knows? Engineers can be pretty creative. Maybe the interior of the tepee could be a parking...
I think that'd be cool. It could be OKC's version of the Eiffel Tower. I'm sure that the oil derrick monument would attract a lot of people to the AICC museum (as long as they're co-located). But I...
