Colcord Hotel

[OKCisOK4me]

I'd like to see this same shot with the stop lights now in it and real traffic.

Love the patio at Flint, but not quite the right weather for it:

Between the Colcord being butted right up next to it, and First National not looking much bigger than the Colcord, Devon looks just absolutely massive in this picture.

I have it on authority (and from several very reliable sources) that the Devon Tower is, in fact, just absolutely massive.

That rumor is out there.

Steve is stuck on auto response from all the Mystery Tower questions. Poor old chap.

This is from their FB page, one of their new meeting rooms in the connection to Devon Tower:

Very tasteful room.

Love that patio!

OKC needs more great outdoor spaces.

Judging by the pic, you're not the only one!

They hired my buddy, Dan Taylor, to dj on the patio Thurs, Fri, & Saturdays.

Here's hoping they will have something to provide more shade this summer.

I believe they'll have all the shade they want after 5:00 all summer long.

So THAT's what that tall structure is for!

Uh, no. I don't think the sun angle will help at all during the summer and hopefully people will venture there before 5PM anyway. I was very serious about needing some kind of umbrella shading available when needed and hopefully they have that in their plans.

Bit of trivia from The Colcord's facebook page:

The red sign that sits atop the Colcord Hotel's roof is a replication of Mrs. Colcord’s signature.

We're sure glad she had nice handwriting.

Flint showing its Thunder pride:

I just wonder if the Skirvin has a banner ? That's where the bad guys stay......

Hopefully they adorn each room that opposing players stay in with lot of Thunder posters and paraphenalia. Have one wall filled with large photos of Kevin Durant shooting on one leg, dunking, etc.

[Rover]

Skirvin has ghosts to remind them.

Another view of the new meeting/banquet room, from the exterior:



I still think those globes are horta eggs.

Awesome new space!

The Colcord circa 1975:



With cars parked where the Flint patio is now.

Ah, the good ole days........NOT!

A timeless building, but the cityscape around it is so much better now.

That is from the Kenyon Morgan collection.
