Level Apartments

[metro]

Well it "looks like" Mckown's next development will be in Norman:

I didn't think he was going to announce this for a few more months. This is basically a half block north of Campus corner, so it'll tear down some underutilized buildings and make campus corner bigger, denser and add residents.

Well, it was confirmed in the Norman thread http://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=30576, that he is not the one proposing the project, he just was offering his perspective of the situation.

Cool new sign on the corner, plus some benches:

They need a few more trashcans. Tenants seem to be dropping trash all over the street and sidewalk. I've had to add LEVEL to my trash pickup route on walks. I don't understand why people think they have the right to drop cups and plastic bottles, fast food wrappers and bags when they're getting out of their cars. Sigh.

Come on Level dwellers. You are not trash, so Don't Trash OKC!

I've seen the littering first hand - it's the construction workers.

[betts]

Except the construction workers are pretty much gone. It was far worse when they were there. I suppose we can blame it on the moving companies for awhile, but judging by the general level of trash around the Deep Deuce apartments, my expectations aren't high. If there were more trash cans placed, I bet people would be more likely to hold onto their trash until the reach a trash can. We've got multiple cans in front of our houses and I think LEVEL could follow suit.

I've worked with guys who could litter a mile around them. Try not to make an area guilty. It only takes one.

I think they may be referring to the Aloft construction workers, and a strong south wind.

Oklahoma City is HORRIBLE in general for not having trash cans in public places. We need more trash cans everywhere. It should be a code for new construction or remodel.

[Rover]

We could use more citizens who are proud of their city and JUST QUIT throwing trash on the ground. It is just laziness and low class. Yes, it would be great to have more trash cans, but that is no excuse for slobs. There is a great problem in this society that when someone is acting poorly we blame everyone but the violator. Trash cans or not, not every area of town is treated like everyone's trash can. Have a little pride folks.

[HangryHippo]

Hot damn, I didn't know you could still get these shirts. That's great!

[Bellaboo]

Unfortunatley, a lot of folks believe the back of their, or someone else's, pickup is a trash can. I see so much stuff blowing out of the back end of pickups, especially getting on the interstate.

Well said Rover. It isn't much different from the idiots who throw cigarette butts onto dry grass and drive off with a wildfire beginning in their wake - irresponsibility and no consideration for anyone else are far too common attitudes.

Now that you've said that: Could we get a few trash cans along the river walk? I've walked west to May Ave. from the boathouses on the north side, and I believe there's only one trash can. through there.

People in general can be pretty trashy, I drive through Civic Center Park here in Denver (the park between the State Capitol and City Hall) every afternoon on the way home and it is covered in trash by 5:00 in the evening and there are trash cans everywhere. Just because the cans are there doesn't mean that people will use them.

It's not worthy of a new thread, but they're drilling in the land between 2nd and 3rd west of Oklahoma. Looks like Richard McKown might be thinking about starting something.

Hmmmm drilling means they are going up! I am getting really excited. I have heard rumors that he wants to go up on that spot!

[catch22]

I think a 10-11 story residential tower would be perfect for that location. It would provide as a visual and physical anchor for that district.

[wschnitt]

I think it is a good sign for the district that a building is going in mid-block and not a parking lot.

Drove by on my way to work this morning and noticed two construction workers drilling in the land, stopped and asked them what they are building, one of the construction workers said, "We are just soil testing", then their supervisor walked over and said "It will be another one of these", as he pointed at LEVEL, good deal!

*that's one thing I like about working downtown, and being in the heart of the activity, because when you have a question about something you can just go up and ask...

I can see it now "2nd Level @ the Edge of Deep Deuce"

I was hoping it would stay a grass area for awhile - maybe even a dog park...oh well. Hope they don't junk up the street again and try to turn the streetlights off - otherwise I'll be happy to see more residential go in.

Seems a little small for another 'Level'. I would hope they build a toweresque type building and not some box apartment complex that has 2-3 stories.

However, I hope it is attractive looking for the sake of people in Maywood Lofts that face the north.
