WTF???????????????? I don't get it....

Along with the artistic theft accusation, I’ll go ahead and explain this one for you too. When I said, “Notice anything?” under the Fox Business screen cap, I was referring to the downtown shot in the background. Some took it to mean a hidden “easter egg” or something not that obvious. Does that make any sense? Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty good at understanding people’s intent in what they say here. I certainly don’t flip out and get mad or offended at the drop of a hat. I added two buildings to your original image a few pages back, because David Pollard asked for someone to do it. I took my own time to do it for his sake. You could easily have done it yourself the same way you made the original image, and it would have looked much better. Most people I would assume took it for what it was. You choose to get bent out of shape over it. I personally dislike and stay away from people who accuse me of things and get upset at the slightest thing. I like your contributions here, with the skyscraper comparisons you do in the software you use. I’m sure everyone does. But for everyone’s sake, relax a little. Take a chill pill. Nobody comes here to argue, and this is the last thing I’m saying on the matter.

^^That angle of dt is awesome but have you seen the skyline from Air Depot and Reno in MWC?It looks massive and if I had a good camera I'd take a pic and post it!

Very true...for some reason all of downtown appears taller from that intersection in MWC. I also like the view from due west (State Fair) at sunset. Maybe cuz Chase Tower is skinniest and Sandridge is widest from those 2 angles.

I agree that from just East of Air Depot on Reno is the most incredible view I have ever seen. It is very similar to the one Pete posted above.

Just wrapped up another video shoot. Will have it all up as soon as I can. Then I'm going to work on the Sandridge Commons video.

DT still looks unbalanced and could use about 2-3 towers to close the gaps on the East and West. Maybe someday a hotelier will build a real hotel of about 20-25 stories like a Embassy Suites, Hyatt Regency. Many cities OKC size have hotels that go vertical

Unfortunately OKC has had that in the past (Biltmore Hotel) and decided in would be better to implode.

I think the money shot of the new skyline will be taken from someones balcony at Block 42.

Can someone go into Wikipedia (Oklahoma City) and update the new population numbers from 2010 census (city proper and msa). State of Oklahoma and Tulsa are up-to-date on Wiki. Thanks!

[ZYX2]

Last I checked the actual numbers were up to date, just the year was off.

I work for a real estate company and did a photo shoot from one of the Block 42 units. It was a facing downtown and the rooftop patio view was AMAZING and this was even before the Devon Tower was started or even publicly known. I will have to see if I can find the image and I will post it.

Screen cap from the February video yesterday.

[soonerwilliam]

1,252,987 MSA; 579,999 city proper population for OKC. These are the correct 2010 census numbers that should be on Oklahoma City Wikipedia so it will be up-to-date. Thanks

^^^ Money shot right there!

Honestly - I don't know how you are going to get a picture of downtown OKC fit into a rectangle without cutting off the top of the Devon building. Look at the current banner and try adding Devon to it. The building at the other end are going to be small you will barely see them. Pete has a challenge on his hands. He might even need a bigger banner.

I took a few distance shots yesterday and will upload them after I get off work tonight. Keep an eye out.

Taken with my Android phone at approximately 3:30pm, Sunday afternoon.













No telling why this one is blurry. I pulled over to snap this pic.












This one is my favorite (with the Thunder banner in there)!


I like the tilt shot...out of my car window as I was driving by.


But I had to straighten it out as well...


That is it. For now... Thanks!

Part 2



There's one more video tomorrow that accompanies these two.

Was anyone else just watching Channel 5 news? They did an "update" on the Devon Tower...and showed a shot from their chopper. They said that they "confirmed" with builders today that the building was now as tall as the Chase Tower, and that when completed, it would stand 908 feet in the air. Wasn't the original 925 feet, and scaled back to 850 feet? Anyone know what's up with the 908?

[ZYX2]

I hope that "908" is true...

[UnFrSaKn]

Was it at 10pm?

[OKC74]

Yep...10pm...just a few minutes ago. :-)

[UnFrSaKn]

Probably going by this old article.
