    Re: Anyone here driven from OKC to Las Vegas?

    I second this recommendation. My grandparents live about an hour south of Flagstaff. Flagstaff's over 7,000 feet in elevation, and I've been there as late as mid-late April when parts of I-40 and...

    Re: Anyone here driven from OKC to Las Vegas?

    If you can make it to Gallup for the pitstop, you can take a little extra time the second day and make a detour through the Petrified Forest or Sedona while still comfortably making it to Las Vegas...

    Re: 2017 City Council Elections

    Tonight, ULI Oklahoma is hosting a City Council Candidates Forum from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Skirvin. It's free and doesn't require any advanced registration. I believe most of the candidates...

    Re: Opening Night 2017

    I don't know, and haven't been since it has, but we're going this year and I'm glad it has. While it was cool to walk around all of downtown, the venues further from the finale area usually had...

    Re: Most Unique City in North America?

    San Francisco and New Orleans. The others are also unique, but the question was "most unique."

    Also, I would put Quebec City in place of Montreal (nothing against Montreal, but it reminded me of...

    Re: Wheeler District

    The project is already going to be built in phases. You can't do something this size without doing it in bite-sized chunks. However, and I can't stress this enough--this is not your typical...

    Re: Wheeler District

    The increased density and urban design does bring with it it increased design costs and public infrastructure costs compared to suburban development. It's also a riskier proposition for a bank to...
  9. Re: Fallin predicts a $500M-$600M hole in upcoming budget

    Looks like lobbyists have loved this section of state statutes. So many are sub-industry or payor-specific. Wow.

    Re: Wheeler District

    I can't speak as to Question 1, but on Question 2, the way it has been presented to the Review Committee is that the increment would come in 2 "tiers"--the first a 75-25 split between the...

  12. Poll: Re: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (December 16, 2016)

    I'll go see it, but the love I had for Star Wars in my youth was killed by the prequels and concurrent/subsequent relegation of the gargantuan expansive universe novels to non-canon status. That...
  13. Re: AFCA awards 1946 OAMC Football National Championship

    Was there a "consensus" national champion before the advent of the Coaches Poll? Before then, there was only the AP (which Army did win that year). I always thought consensus titles were when the AP...

    What's the alternative here? Let it sit vacant forever due to environmental contamination? If you buy property you know has environmental issues, and it takes you 10 years to ask for help, it sounds...

    Re: TIF Districts

    You clearly haven't looked at the plans for Wheeler, and Oklahoma City's use of TIF has been anything but for Walmarts and crappy industrial parks. Although, I have to say based on my professional...

    Re: TIF Districts

    This is a little bit off-topic, but has become very apparent in the relatively short time I've worked in this state. Regardless of whether one loves or loathes TIFs, conceptually, it's important to...
  18. Re: Legal Question - Public Records - Why Are Transcripts Not Free to View?

    In my experience, you can look at most contents of court files (transcripts, judgments, filed briefs, etc.) for free in person at the court clerk's office or records office--they only charge if you...

    I think that "wind wall" is to protect where the restaurant/snack shop seating area is, not the ferris wheel itself.

    I ate here for lunch earlier this week. I'll echo some of the other comments about the name of the menu items being a little cheesy, but the food and service was actually pretty good. I'll probably...

    Making panhandling a crime isn't the solution for the problems you mention. I'm pretty sure littering, jaywalking, pulling a knife on someone, loitering, and vandalism are all crimes in and of...
