It sure will be interesting to see how this all plays out...I'm sure somewhere there's a plan.
I'm not sure I get what you mean? They tore down a lot of buildings to build the main campus. Most of those people have sold at HUGE profits and in the case of pearls and others, they've rebuilt new buildings close to the same locations (i.e. under a mile away). All this is good for OKC.

Not to mention CHK built the Classen Curve which brings in a whole new crop of stores. Add to that a new Whole Foods market and it seems to me that while it's not an immediate replacement for what was there, it's setting up that area for HUGE growth potential for the future.

Your post almost seems like you're against progress, new construction, new shops, a change in focus and those sorts of things. Is that really what you're trying to say or am I confused?
