Off topic, but I would like to goback to the Gaylords. What is their problem? If they truely havent forgotten where they have can from, then they would fund a huge project on the river. Two words, Gaylord Texan! Where is the Gaylord Oklahoman!!!!!?

The Gaylord Resorts are not owned solely by the Gaylord family. The are part of Nashville-based Gaylord Entertainment, a publicly traded company that has investors to please. The Gaylords don't really have the power to just tell Gaylord Resorts to build a huge hotel in OKC when it may not be what that company sees as profitable.

Why can't they go off from the company?

the key word in this is "Gaylord" why is the "Gaylord Entertainment" company based in nashville and not in oklahoma... this is the kinda stuff were talkin bout when we say the gaylords have forgotten where they came from.

"Sees" is the key word. Too many deep pockets are excessively blind to potential in Oklahoma City.

You're right there okcpulse. I was simply clarifying that the Gaylords have shareholders to please, and I don't even think they run the company. On the other hand many of their other properties like the Pike's Peak Railway and the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs are owned strictly by the Gaylord family.

Someone needs to straighten their butts up and teach them where they came from!
