    C'mon. It was obviously just a bad picture; everyone is aware of what our Downtown lacks, so no need to reiterate "DT OKC has a long way to go to be photogenic." However, the very least we can do is to get a decent picture of it, and not one that looks like complete crap. Thankyou very much.

    I think floor spacing is also in play here. Devon tower has 20' spacing on the first six floors and 15' spacing on each floor above that. The floor spacing on the Freedom tower looks smaller to me. A previous post said 600 something feet and 52 floors also. That equates to 11 to 12 feet per floor.

    KilgoreTrout are you still planning on replacing the current picture of OKC on Wiki with the other one? I hope so because the one on there now doesn't do anything for the downtown skyline.

    I went ahead and made the change. Wikipedia doesn't make it very easy to change pictures IMO. Also removed the "Big Friendly" nickname. Who uses that?

    Anyway, if someone has a better pic go and ahead and remove mine.

    Google Maps has First National now in 3d.

    You are very welcome. If the picture posted is "factual: than maybe DT OKC is just bad/ugly or whatever and investment (like what Devon and Sandridge are doing) needs to occur to modernize DT. However, if photoshoping pictures of DT OKC to make it appear more dense or urban that is well, just stupid.

    Thanks so much KilgoreTrout for changing the downtown picture on Wiki. I think it looks great now! A big improvement. Also, our downtown is starting io look alot better. I'm proud of what is going on and can't wait to see it change for the better. Hopefully, there will be even more announcements in the near future!

    It still says the Devon Tower will be 925ft. Would someone whose wiki savvy please change it?

    Yes--they should change it to 1,032. Remember that figure...

    Went with the girlfriend. I laughed a few times times but considering I don't have cable, I don't any of the shows she was talking about.

    King, sweet shot! I know a post on here that will appreciate the direct south view you have provided!

    It is a simple thing...just remember that number--1,032. Think of it as black helicopters, raving lunacy, giggly stuff for teenage not-it-alls...just simply write it down on a piece of paper and keep it in a book somewhere. I mean--how hard is that?

    1,032 - that is what page we will be on when Devon Tower is completed.

    Does anyone know what percentage of height is completed? Are they half way?

    Is that how many times you will tell us the tower will be taller than 850 feet?

    Just sharing a moment I had with a OUIJA Board recently--nothing more. Do what you wish with it...soothing eyes with Refresh Lubricant Eye Drops... Time will tell...won't it.
