Thread: Devon Energy Center

They are taking some parking spaces and creating a link from the Devon complex through the structure and tying it into the skybridge that connects the east garage with Oklahoma Tower
    God forbid anyone have to walk along the sidewalk for half a block... GRRRRR

    It would be cool if there were stores in that alley.

    And it needs to be that way on a more regular basis. I sure hope those apartments get built in the old Meineke building on Main; Bricktown needs more residents!!!

    Exactly, like on a Tuesday night in the dead of winter when there are no sporting events. I sure hope we are close to critical mass.

    And yes, street performers as well! I feel ya! lol

    By the way, I've been driving southbound on Harvey to the parking garage in the morning, and I don't recall if the intent is to leave it 2 way or not, but I hope they do - the view coming down the hill is great.

    DT does show similarity to IDS Tower. Compare 4th pic above to this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...2005-09-27.jpg

    The floor right below the concrete V is 47, so they're currently working on 50.

    I found something cool at work today (I almost threw away) that some may have seen already. I'll post it later after I get home after 3pm.

  16. Default Re: Devon Energy Center (Devon Tower)

    Sorry if people have seen this already. I was cleaning a car and there was a crumpled up map. I normally throw these away without thinking much. It was the last car at the end of the day, so I wasn't in a hurry so I folded it up. I never noticed until then it was a new map. This is what caught my eye...





    Anyone ever see actual images anywhere, and not scanned? High resolution?

    The map has www.DowntownOKC.com, okcchamber.com, okc.gov and okccvb.org websites on it.

  17. Default Re: Devon Energy Center (Devon Tower)

    Haven't seen it, but it must be from a year, or so, ago. The DT looks a tad too tall IMO. The height estimate was probably made a while back...probably before it was verified that LEDs were going to be apart of the nighttime experience. My guess is early April 2010. Early playoff games last year; based on signage atop the ol' Kerr McGee building.
    I could be wrong.

    Looked over the map...

    Printed 5/2011
    It's not a bad map at all. Has all the Districts color-coded. Even has the "FUTURE I-40 (2012)" highway route. Has certain main attractions as black silhouettes. The boathouses, etc.

    May have to find me one. It does look like a OKC Chamber-type document.

    I really like the top picture with the word "MAP" on it. Devon Tower looks marvelous with the reds, oranges, yellows, and blues: it's be the last building in Oklahoma City the sunset touches.

    Could these be something that is distributed only at the airport?

    Downtown OKC made these maps and are distributing them. It is a really nice map! They did a great job.

    I think it would be cool if someone would photoshop King Kong on top of the biulding. hehehe

    I'm at Sheridan & Hudson across from the Auditorium. The last thing I expected to see were sprinklers going on the roof. The kind that spray about ten streams straight up and go up and down. Any ideas?
