Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

[Timshel]

I'm usually one for pushing the forum to discuss projects in a reasonable manner focusing on feasibility, but screw it. This is too hilarious not to daydream about. Even if/when it never got more than a quarter full (and that's after every Thunder player on the roster taking a floor, reserving the penthouse for the mayor, and a handful of Russians parking some cash in a number of units), I would still LOVE to see this happen, solely because I would laugh every time I saw it towering above the city (which would be often).

[HangryHippo]

that is all people like him have...is to attack personally and tell lies. That is why I can't get behind teachers. If they can't even be honest themselves, how and why should I trust them with my children? If they are for porn being in libraries, how and why should I trust them with my children?

The state would be better without government run schools

You seem stable.

Lmao…while we’re on the subject, how far away do we think a 1750’ building could be seen from, anyways? I know you can see Devon clear out to Minco and Cashion under the right conditions.

Hey, if being stable means not wanting my kids to see porn in the classroom, call me stable

[HFAA Alum]

It's not really proposed, it's more like it's an ambition of sorts, a demonstration of what's in the mind of the developer. If they ever actually go through with it, it would be substantially sized down.

[Laramie]

UNBELIEVEABLE . . .

The irony of CATHOLIC sooner lecturing anyone on taking your children around non trustworthy people LOL wow, just wow...

Here we go... Another political propaganda thread. SMH. Hope Pete shuts the nonsense down quickly. Soon we will be talking about child sex rings in pizza places.

[Tyson]

How do these threads take these turns lol

[chssooner]

My apologies for bringing any politics into this. I will stop posting for a bit.

[HangryHippo]

Any issues taking them around priests? Or is it just libraries?

[Jake]

OKCTalk comment threads slowly transitioning into Reddit has been sad

OKCTalk slowly transitioning into Reddit has been sad

And meanwhile, all of the city subreddits have been slowly transitioning into Nextdoor…

Yup. Overall, outward and public negativity is becoming increasingly normalized. That’s what we’re seeing. OKCTalk has remained a safe space for educated people who want what’s best for OKC. Let’s be the community of optimists! Not the Instagram comment section residents who have nothing but complains with no logic and political arguments.

Do you know someone in the businesses involved that say this development won't be built? It's been in the works for years now. The city has already passed a TIF for it. I'll be glad to see the ground breaking next year to see it's being built. But to promise that nothing shown will be built is a stretch. Especially the 3 primary towers

This could be said about Strawberry Fields too. Been in the works for years now. City already passed TIF. The big difference here is the developer is reputable and has a track record of success and isn't some random person who is being sued for fraud.

Now this is a good read, lol

What is your point? All Catholics are pedophiles?
The ironic thing is that teachers are more likely to sexually harass a child than a priest is

That backfired huh

[CatholicSooner]

I have issues with leaving children alone with any adult, regardless of priest or teacher or policeman.

[Timshel]

If we finish building the turnpike to essentially be a ring road around the city, OKC could be a giant sundial for our country with the new building serving as the sundial's gnomon!

In your case yes, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you were a pedo. And There is NO way that stat is true, NO WAY. maybe its more reported in schools because its not covered up and over looked. So no. No backfire at all.
Are you a teacher too *Side eyes*

Is this because you know how you'd act around them!?

C'mon man. personal attacks are uncalled for. You are essentially calling me a pedo for not wanting porn in schools. You do see how backwards that is right?
And it is a true stat. Deny it all you want. A child is more likely to be molested by a teacher than a catholic priest.

There is more porn in your little bible than there is in any book in any public school library in Oklahoma. Personal attacks are completely called for when the one they are being hurled at deserves them.

[EtanEiko]

I know these will get deleted and hell I might get my account removed but 100% worth it. SO tired of brainless sheep like you Catholic sooner demonizing PUBLIC SCHOOLS and covering up sexual abuse in your cult of a religion. Make it make sense.

[Chicken In The Rough]

Love this proposal. Of course it's a stretch, and it's likely designed more for publicity and possible tax incentives than truly for being built. But it's fun to imagine what's possible, and it might motivate other like-minded developers.

We'll probably get a scaled down version - bigger than the original, but smaller than this.

About a month ago, I asked for an iconic art or landmark architecture. This certainly scratches that itch.
