Urbanized 01-04-2014, 02:58 PM So if segregation in any form for any reason is bad (in your opinion), how do you feel about unisex rest rooms or fitting rooms in a public facility? Even the "equal opportunity" folk seem to realize that certain jobs might be gender-specific... Where did I pass judgement? I said ask a roomful of (today's) women how they feel about such a thing. You might get mixed results, but you would definitely get a raw earful from some of them. The water fountain thing was an intentionally ridiculous comparison, but it makes the point that those are customs of a bygone era. Urbanized 01-04-2014, 03:06 PM By the way, fitting rooms in many if not most stores these days are co-ed, with (as fas as I know) a low incidence of sexual assault or public copulation. Back to topic, please. Mine was a casual and lighthearted remark not meant to spark public debate and hand-wringing. Plutonic Panda 01-04-2014, 03:09 PM I don't know, perhaps you should ask a roomful of women. Regarding the water fountain thing, I think you missed my cultural reference entirely.What does that have to do with anything? If I am just taking a date, I would prefer her not knowing prices of the items she can get so she will feel more comfortable ordering whatever she pleases. I do this out of respect and wanting to make her experience joyful.

Back to topic, please. Mine was a casual and lighthearted remark not meant to spark public debate and hand-wringing.Don't know which ones your going to, but the ones I've been are divided.

I do this out of respect and wanting to make her experience joyful. So you've been to such a place recently? Doubt it. Hey, on some base level I'd probably love to be able to smoke a cigar and pat stewardesses on the behind every time I fly, but those days are in the past too. It's a different world today than what was described in that post, and that was my only point. Stop being so butthurt, people.

Shameless plug: If there are any talkokc peeps interested in ordering prints from our skyline collection you can do that from our gallery (http://goivm.artistwebsites.com). The night shots look amazing printed on metal or on metallic papers. HangryHippo 03-07-2014, 08:54 AM Obligatory "Devon LED lights are still out!!!" post. Seriously though, those are some of the best shots of downtown I've seen. The skies are stunning. Very well done!

Pete 06-25-2014, 09:41 AM This is the view from the George at Founders Tower. I really love this angle because all the tall buildings line up, you can actually see Leadership Square and you have a nice tree cover (and OCU) in the foreground. If we get a tower at Main & Hudson it will sit almost perfectly to the right of Devon: http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/georgeview1med.jpg UnFrSaKn 06-25-2014, 09:52 AM This is probably going to be the next "best" angle. Consider the 4th and Broadway tower a possibility (or just that spot). It would be great to add to the left in this shot with that location. okclee 06-25-2014, 10:23 AM I like how it features OCU as well.

I also like it when the crown is not back-lit. Pete 07-22-2014, 10:29 AM Thanks Will! It looks like they have finally repaired all the LED units. Bullbear 07-22-2014, 11:22 AM these pics don't show it. .but there are still some gaps in the LED units. I was noticing just last week. I really wish they would get them all fixed Teo9969 07-22-2014, 11:28 AM Thanks Will! It looks like they have finally repaired all the LED units. Maybe on that one inset, but you can tell on the crown that a ton of them are still out. The crown is less important because they have the backlighting capability. Ideally, the insets would be done by the end of the year…and I'd think they'd be easier as wind would not be as much of a factor in those spines rather than trying to do things on the crown (which I imagine is hell) OKCisOK4me 08-09-2014, 07:17 PM I'm not going to call this a skyline shot, just don't know anywhere else to put it. I titled it 'Reflections'. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/10/eheny9yp.jpg |
