South Canal

[jn1780]

When is the river suppose to be extended under I-40? Is there an estimated timeline?

[Fantastic]

Doesn't the other water feature have a 77 county correlation of some kind?

Are you speaking of the Devon Mosaic on the North End?

Sid: are you talking about the Centennial fountain in front of Sonic and Harkins?

The truth is the city and sculptor have quietly changed the number of pieces from time to time over the years due to higher than forecasted costs, etc.

Sid: although I have mentioned the 77 at various comment sections elsewhere, I promise that I was not the uncited Wiki "contributor".

What's your IP address then? Lol.

Kilgore: I dont give that info out randomly but it isn't what Sid posted. there was another forum that I posted in a couple of years ago that according to the moderator, it said my computer was located in another state (think it was Kansa). I promised them that my computer and I were indeed in OKC. I have Cox internet if that makes a diffence but I don't know why it would or wouldn't.

Sid: no worries here, just wanted to clarify

Thus far, I haven't found any other mention of 77 counties except here on the Wikipedia pages and in comments left by Larry in various places on the internet.

If it's on Wikipedia it is true. If it's not, it doesn't exist. That is all...

No, on the north end of the canal, I thought there was something there that had to do with the 77 counties.

The bricks around the Devon Mosaic are engraved with the names of the 77 counties.

Not suprising. I acctually heard a rumor (let me be clear... RUMOR) that the current target is 46 statues (note I said statues... not structures, not elements... statues) but only 45 are funded. I've seen and/or heard it go as low as 36 (rumor) and as high as 47 (rumor). But even if the funding was currently only in place for 45, we're still a few years away from this thing being complete, no reason to think that it wouldn't end up being 46.
