Thread: First National Center

    Umm... I wonder if someone just threw this up as parody. Or if it's been hacked. Be sure and take a look at the About, Bios, and the page on the Ft. Lauderdale hotel.

    Wow, the page on the Ft. Lauderdale hotel sounds like someone is very ticked about it.

    The website has been taken down. Something's not quite right about this.

    [QUOTE=p.s. I saw the NewsOK video proudly proclaiming "I know the identity of the FNC's Cali buyer and I just talked to him" - while all good and well, I was left wondering why if this guy has been working very quietly behind the scenes with the Historical Preservation Society and others since 2013 is it just now getting out? Again, perhaps it's more about the landscape in which papers now exist, more comfortable with re-writing press releases as opposed to working sources and documents to get real facts and substance? Sorry to keep bagging on the local paper's coverage, just think we as readers/consumers and the FNC as topic deserve much better than what we've gotten so far.......[/QUOTE]

    Or what about talking to the party that filed suit to get actual information from both sides, not just taking the word of the party being sued. Seems to be the exact same style of dealing with teemco.

    I understand not wanting to burn bridges with the developer, but there's always 2 sides to a story. And where there's smoke, more often than not, there's fire.

    Before it was deactivated it said the company was formed in 2014 and has over a $1 billion in projects underway.

    This whole thing is weird.


    I'd really like to know what type of preliminary understanding they have with the Alliance for TIF and other incentives.

    I'm sure a deal has not been struck, but I"m also sure this developer would not be moving forward without at least a general understanding of various incentives.

    If this developer ends up not pulling through, does the city of OKC have any options?

    "I remember this project very well. We were so excited because this was going to be our first project with the W hotel chain. The ideas that were being floated around, for that time, were just simply out of this world. It was like, "Are you f-----g crazy! Who's going to stay at this hotel and pay the kind of money you wanna charge?" It was outrageous. I thought everybody had to be on LSD to be thinking like this.

    But we did it. The hotel was a great success, and it helped to solidify the image of the W hotel chain as the hippest place to stay when you have to travel. The international traveler loved the concept. Gawd, we made millions..

    The photo on the About page was pretty good also. 3 guys flexing their muscles in a small bathroom - one had an eye patch.

    Clearly their site was hacked.

    They must have some serious enemies. According to WayBack Machine, there has never been too much to see.

    He has a question about his lease, his lease runs for another year. Does the sale basically eliminate the lease obligation from the owners? He made it seem as if he already paid up for the next year and wanted to make sure he got his money back if they cut the lease short.

    He also mentioned that Cafe 7 had already picked a new place to go. I asked him a couple times but couldn't understand what he was saying so i just left it alone. Anyone know anything about that?
    This makes me sad. I love that guy and his wife. They have been important fixtures in that building for at least 20 years.

    Just what does that have to do with this thread? The conspiracy theories here are getting silly.

    Look at Steve's twitter. He is skipping the chat because he is unable to answer the big questions about First National Center.

    It's real brother. They have signeded on with a Chinese henchman to install doorknobs on houses occupied by the likes Taylor Swift, Bernie Sanders, Bob Marley, and perhaps a reincarnated Joespeh Stalin. I'm alive and ride I will.

    The FNC is literally why he isn't doing the chat. Seriously.

    I wouldn't exactly put it that way. Could be he is just busy following leads to do a live chat. Getting good information for his NewsOK articles is more important than the live chats that really only a small segment of the population actually reads and takes part in.

    Good grief, could we just start a "bash on the Oklahoman" thread, a "bash on Brianna" thread and a "bash on Steve" thread and keep such posts in there? It seems like every thread on this board these days devolves into a referendum on their respective coverage. It is getting tiring.

    I'm not even making this post to defend their coverage; I'm just saying that I don't want to read a play-by-play on it in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD.
