    Got Downtown to take a few more photos yesterday. Nothing amazing or new, really, but just thought I'd share.

    I, personally, am SO glad that the light situation is being discussed. I look at it every night from my window in DD and think "seriously? - how in the world could it be taking this long?" If Devon provided some answers, people would understand. However, it IS an eye sore and it definitely looks worse "lit" up the way it is (although better not than a few months ago) than if it were turned off. The argument that it looks better than no lights doesn't make sense to me. It's like the landscaping in my neighborhood - there is literally NO excuse for how bad it looks (working on that though - sprinkling system was cut due to development of LEVEL). Expensive good is much better than cheap/not working bad. Devon needs to figure it out.

    Yesterday I noticed a window out in the SW crown triangle. Does anybody know what happened? I cannot help but wonder if someone took a shot at it or maybe light related.

    Nice story from 'Oklahoma Today' about Larry Nichols and the Devon Tower

    http://oklahomatoday.com/oklahomatod.../jf13_OOTY.pdf

    Interesting background info on the formation and growth of Devon Energy. And a bit of personal look into Larry's life as well. Heck, you even get that 9th grade photo of Larry that you always wanted.

    Article tidbit: Nebu is named for "Northeast Blanco Unit" - a natural gas field in New Mexico that significantly contributed to the company's early success.

    The beacon from afar:

    That tower is like the central Oklahoma lighthouse.

    That's called a subdivision. Someone owns a large parcel of land, and then subdivides it for people to build houses on. Or allows a developer to build all of the houses, and then subdivides the land.

    I know what it is. It just seems weird that would build like that waaaaaaaaaay out there and build the houses that close together when there is plenty of land available. It seems to me, if I wanted to live in a subdivision like that one, as I do now, I would live in the city or some place like Edmond, Moore, Norman ect. If I wanted to live that far out, I would build on a big piece of land and have my privacy. Everyone has their own preferences though.

    Devon Tower has won in the first round of the SkyscraperCity 2012 cup (woohoo!)
    SkyscraperCity XL - 2012 cup

    Members vote for their favorite skyscrapers completed in 2012 from a field of 32 buildings. Devon Tower won (barely) against the Leatop Plaza in Guangzhou, China.
    SkyscraperCity XL - round 1

    Next up, DT faces the Flame Towers of Baku, Azerbaijan.
    SkyscraperCity XL - brackets

    Ok, I never heard of this thing until I came across the link. But as long as Devon Tower is winning, then it must be important in some way!
