With all this talent we should have developed a Branson type venue here in OKC. Maybe a MAPS vote could add that to the mix?
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy av? Haven't seen those guys in forever!



I think OKC by 2020 will be 1.55 to 1.65 million people perhaps higher. This would be basically 2% growth per year. I see the energy business overall staying in good condition the city employment is fairly well diversified and it looks like the Air Force is going to do some impressive things with the old GM plant further bolstering job growth in the metro. I just hope the state and both oklahoma city and tulsa find a way to capitalize on alternative energy sources as well as fossil fuels because it will take both to keep this country functioning as we move into the future.
