    Re: BancFirst Tower

    Our skyline is already diminished by Devon and BOK blending together and mirroring the sky. If this ends up also blending in and losing distinct characteristics, we might as well just commit to being...

    Re: 2019 Oklahoma City Aviation Thread

    No offense, but this is just lazy. A 2 second google search would have yielded the answers you sought. Instead you made someone else do the work for you and had to wait 6 hours for those same...

    Re: DEQ Parking Garage

    If they added some ground level interaction (retail, restaurant, offices, Etc.), and give the DEQ building an exterior facelift, this would be perfect. I guess it’s better than nothing, but it leaves...

    Re: Streetcar

    By that logic, we shouldn’t invest in anything because it will eventually be outdated and something better will be invented...Better not buy a new computer, a better one will be released tomorrow!

    Re: Paseo District

    It was probably before the previous 2 owner/managers. A few years ago they shifted the focus on beers, music and art. For about a year it was one of the city’s best kept secrets (hence why I’m not...

    Re: 4th & EK Gaylord

    Rose Rock looks like it will fit in better with the CBD. But it leaves a lot to be desired with the total use of the land and the large gap it seems to leave on the east side.

    Re: OKC Population Density

    Stop using 2/3rds. I clarified in a follow-up post. I stated that if we strategically got rid of areas around Mustang/Yukon and NE OKC you could lose a smal population to surrounding areas, many of...

    Re: OKC Population Density

    I should have phrased that better. I didn’t mean all 400 square miles. But shedding areas around Mustang and Yukon, and some of the excess in the NE corner really wouldn’t hurt tax revenue streams,...

    Re: OKC Population Density

    I really wish the city could find a way to give away/sell off some of those outskirts to surrounding cities. It seems like a good trade off to lose some OKC residents, while also shedding 400+ square...
  12. Re: MAPS is Decreasing Our Quality of Life

    Just admit you phrased that poorly and move on. It reads like the daily operating costs would be $10M. Not the total cost of operation over 10 years. I can easily see where others are getting tripped...

    Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    That's what I meant by disappointment. I was at 4 of those shows. They were all great. It was all the dead space between shows. You'd have a couple weeks here and there with a group of really good...

    The new booking agency is up to 5 bigger shows that are exclusive to the state and in the case of Bon Iver, 1 of 8 cities. Arguing over the mechanisms used to fund the venue is a different...

    Re: Criterion Concert Hall

    These are some really big gets for OKC. These are all shows that would normally pass through up at Cain’s, BOK, or Brady. Bon Iver is only playing in 8 cities on this tour. The fact that OKC got one...
