    This UNP scheme is politics played out behind any oversight.
    Now that is interesting.

    the norman city council has a strange dislike of OU and for some reason see's OU as an annoyance ( instead of the reason that OU exists and thrives ) ......

    they don't do much to help out OU they should bend over backwards to be helpful partners with OU

    The arena comeback: county pushes ahead
    By Mindy Ragan Wood | Transcript Staff Writer Feb 11, 2022

    Local commercial real estate developer Sassan Moghadam began discussing an arena comeback with District 2 County Commissioner Darry Stacy in early 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and before Moghadam formed a group of citizens, Unite Norman, that attempted to recall multiple city councilors and endorsed candidates for city council in 2021 and 2022.

    The Norman city council has a strange dislike for the city of Norman. Unfriendly to business, unfriendly to OU, unfriendly to residents (I'm one), unfriendly to police and services. Try contacting a council member. Crickets or a pat response.

    I had no issues talking to my old council person in my ward. We have a ward facebook group and they would answer things all the times. The new guy, however, does not.

    With the land north of Crest cleared (where the upscale portion was supposed to go) anyone know what is going there now?

    I believe it was just cleared to move out a big homeless camp and discourage them from coming back.

    Don't think there are any imminent plans.

    As of yesterday, there is a bunch of earth moving equipment still out there. Dozers, scrapers, etc. The trees and vegetation are long gone; as are any homeless encampments. Odd the equipment would still be there. Appears to be an active work site to me.

    Much like the bulldozer on Lindsey street. It could be there a while.

    It looks like they are at minimum building the road out past Crest to connect over by the hotels based on what I saw yesterday.

    Would be nice if they put a little lifestyle Mall there, maybe get a Nike Outlet open out there. It would take away some of the stress from the OKC outlet store.

    I heard some rumblings over the weekend that there may be a plan to put in something similar to Chick-N-Pickle in the area north of Crest that was recently cleared. Anyone have insight?

    Definitely more than tree clearing or a road. Looking northeast and northwest from
    the north west corner of the Crest parking lot. E2299305-A808-4AA6-A63C-55B535E99368.jpegE917BD04-1F9A-42E5-8055-83B6F299F6CF.jpeg

    I wonder what stores are planned for the anchors?

    This was supposed to be the upscale part that they sold Norman on. I hope it gets built, but have my doubts.

    Thank you for the recent drone shots, Pete!

    Does the area north of Rock Creek count? Only reason I ask is beacuse there's been some pretty good development up there too. It's all office space and apartments, but its not nothing either.
