    Re: OAK (formerly Penn Central)

    When was the last time Nordstrom opened a new store that wasn't a Rack?

    The reality is that the number of department stores of 125,000 square feet and up isn't really growing. Especially not "hot...

    Yes. Or, at least any investment would have to make a profit. It was in the city:

    And it's mainly just optics. The violence was unrelated to the game activities, but people to continue to associate it with Thunder alley, even now. So, clearly, if anything bad happens, people can...
  5. Re: NBA's Seattle Supersonics relocate to Oklahoma City.

    It's always interesting how the role of the NBA in all of it gets overlooked. Seattle probably doesn't want to acknowledge that, because it would like another team at some point. At the time, Key was...

    Re: Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

    If it doesn't get built, you'll most likely just not hear about it in national publications again.

    If it does get built, there will continue to be articles written about how unnecessary it is.

    Re: Sunset Amphitheater

    Agree.

    If it's based on noise, I don't think anyone in and around downtown would have much to complain about. Most everything around it is in a zone that allows for 100 times greater SPL than in...

    Re: Sunset Amphitheater

    Good point. The cars often take up more room than the people. And in a denser areas, using ride share would make more sense, reducing the need for parking to begin with.

    Not really, because the ones in urban areas do work. To prove your point you'd have to show examples of amphitheaters in urban areas that have failed to work and not just by some subjective "but they...

    I think it's more a function of media consolidation that's been happening since the 90s.

    What that shows is that OKC's growth rate was 18% higher rate than Tulsa's growth rate during that time (1.04% vs. 1.23%)

    And, because the base for that percentage growth is higher in OKC by about...
