NW 39th Street LGBTQ District

A court has ruled that the Scissortail Park group had unlawfully attempted to dissolve OKC Pride Inc. while also unlawfully taking assets and unlawfully using the OKC Pride name in all the press releases for the downtown event. The event may be called something different now, but only due to a court order.

So, there may still be an event happening at Scissortail but my characterization was not "inaccurate" based on facts already decided in a court of law.

Sitting here looking at the order, and that's not exactly what it says, but even if we agree that it does....still doesn't necessarily make anything a "highjacking," which implies a negative intent that may or may not be the case (failing to follow corporate formalities can be "unlawful" without being a "highjacking" and can happen for a multitude of reasons). But I look forward to both of the events hopefully being successful....I'm sure they'll each have their own vibe and who's to say OKC can't have two great pride events.

But back to the more relevant issue at hand, while it'd be great to see some larger scale development on 39th, starting with even just a couple of high quality restaurants and some placemaking/parklets/better infrastructure/trees (hopefully the streetscape project will go a long way in this regard) would do a lot to make it more than a "club district" that people would want to go to during all hours of the day.
