Crossroads? Crossroads is dead my friend. You can call me, OKC Market Center -

[Swake2]

The third is a friend of mine, who was asked to apply for the trade show displays job. He was formerly with two companies that work trade shows, by setting up displays. The friend of his who asked, is friends with the lady who BOUGHT THE MALL, so when this friend of his mentioned my friend, they were asked to bring him on.

This is just flat out bullsh!t. Let’s just say for arguments sake that this craziness is happening. Because even if it is, as of now, no one has bought the mall, it isn’t sold. And before anything can be done with the mall, it’s going to have to be purchased. That means once a real, public sale has been agreed to, with real financing, that the sale will have to processed and closed. That takes at least months. Since the federal government is involved, it might well take much longer than that.

Once purchased the mall is going to have to completely overhauled. That means surveys, and architects and engineers to redesign the mall and then the new owners will need to get rid of or move tenants based on that design. Those pictures you saw are not designs. No one spends real money on real designs on something they don’t own. All of you have seen is a mock up, and a cheap one. The design step alone could take a year or more. Now design can be done once a property is under contract, but as of now, there is no contract and you certainly can’t move tenants or change leases until the sale is closed and you have actual physical control of the mall. Ending leases, and moving stores takes negotiation and legal work, if a store moves the new store space has to be designed and built. It takes a lot of time. Closing on a sale of the mall, redesigning it and moving tenants as needed conservatively could take well over a year, if not years.

Then only after all of that, you would have actual construction which could take months to years. Even if the mall were to be sold today, which it won’t be, it would be at least two years before the center would need someone to build displays. And why would the owners build the displays, isn’t that the work of the tenants? Crossroads does not build the displays for any stores today, why would they do so in a wholesale environment?

No one has been contacted about building displays, no displays would be needed for years, and the mall owners wouldn’t do that work anyway. it’s simply not true, it makes no sense.

I’m to the point you aren’t just deluded, you are lying and full of crap.

I know of an economic development deal in which a very slick web site (as opposed to a fairly basic one for the proposed marketplace) was set up, the CEO hired a staff, press releases were written, and even the mayor at one point was convinced the deal was done.
Megax, enjoy the Grand Prix next July 4.

My friends who knows this friend who has a cousin whose friends sister was bitten by a zombie who was once a big time okc property owner, knew abouta deal going down at crossroads months ago, so he went down to investigate more and thats when he was bitten and turned intoa zombie ,, we are stepping on dangerous ground, maybe thats why no one really knows what the heck is going on

Any chance Crossroads was built on an Indian burial ground?

Read in the new OKC.biz that 1101,1109 and 1111 E. I-240 Service Rd. were purchased for $2.45 million. Sooner or Later Associates purchased the sites for investment purposes from Crossroads-Maiden Lane LLC. The properties include a 37,008 sq. ft. Fairfield Inn, a 65,558 sq. ft. Residents Inn and a 6,743 sq. ft. Texas Roadhouse Restaurant. Price Edwards & Co. handled negotiations on the sale. Lawyers Title handled the closing.

[Steve]

Yep. We saw that too. That's not the mall - it's the properties that surround the mall. Richard wrote it up.

I know, that's why I stated the specific properties.

That OKC.biz entry was posted on 9/24. According to the OK County Assessor's website, the deeds were signed on 7/30. Has that info been on the assessor's page for a month and a half, or did it show up much later? Could this support the possibility that the mall has actually sold and the info just hasn't been posted yet?

Its kind of spooky sittin there empty....

Maybe, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE AGENT SELLING IT SAYS IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLD.

[okclee]

Haven't heard from megax today, Where is he?

The mall is not empty and the mall is not spooky at all. Yes, business is slow there but hardly empty or spooky.

[megax11]

Admit it. You know this is very much coming true. If this was all a prank, that site would still be up to continue the sensation. Instead, it was brought down immediately. I am betting it was only up as presentation for certain eyes only. Not for the press, and especially not for you, Steve, and your personal web site to further speculation.

Crossroads Mall is COMING ALIVE! ALIVE! Altho, under a new name.

People don't want to believe or be convinced. The problem with humanity today is they got too much shoved up their asses, they always want to be negative about something.

Then those who want to be positive, are bashed for and called pathetic names, like we're back on the playground in elementary school.

That's why humanity has no hope. Too much greed, foolish pride, inferiority and superiority complexes. We'll always be at the bottom of the ladder.

Let whoever, be negative, or whatnot. Pity them even.

I'm behind you 100%, megax11. A brother don't let a brother down. No matter what.

[megax11]

Exactly... I bet half of the people here dishing these second-grade cutdowns are adults.

I pity them.

Look, to those peeps calling names, acting they are, I can only say this -

Bottom line though, I don't believe in coincidence.

You peeps give yourselves ulcers all you want. Word of advice though... it's not very healthy to get that blood pressure up.

I'm just relaying info. I don't have a reason to call everyone a liar, like many here are. Like I said -

You HAVE to be kidding. You, of all people, writing this to others?

I nominate this thread as most obnoxious thread EVER on OKCTalk.

[Architect2010]

Umm. Aren't you the one swearing it's all fact and getting mad because we don't believe you're right? I'd be glad if Crossroads was revived, but you're asking us to believe in a "vision" and "anonymous" people that we don't even know are real. Sounds to me that Humans are smart because they have the reasoning ability to be SKEPTICAL of bullcrap. Present your argument with factual ground and we would be more than willing to believe you; but sadly you haven't.

Nah, bro... I'm not mad in the slightest because people don't believe me. People who want to act the way they are here is there problem, not mine.

I stated my info. 3 people have stated the mall has been bought. One is the banker of the lady who bought it. Sorry, but I'm going to believe the mall owner's banker, faster than some yahoo on NewsOK, which journalists have been wrong plenty of times.

I'm not asking anyone to believe my visions. My visions were just a method of conversation, and should they ever come true (which it has), then the visions were that of good news for Oklahomans and southsiders especially.

However everyone here is quick to say a lady is lying, because the courts don't have records immediately, when she could have said, "hey I'd like this to be a secret so I can surprise the citizens." I'm not saying she did, I'm saying she could have. We don't know for sure.

I would do it, but the courts would be happy to oblige for the fact they're selling a toxic asset.

[Steve]

Yeah, sure, I guess I'm known for getting it wrong all the time...

[Swake2]

You are just pricless

Your story is shifting, a good sign of someone who is full of crap, here's what you originally said about "the banker"

He then told me, "Yes. The chamber of commerce has been working on that for about 2 years now." I said, "really?" He was like "yeah," and that his banker friend also knows a lot about it. If I remember correctly, I think he said his banker friend is friends with those who bought the mall.

And this statement is just moronic:

I would do it, but the courts would be happy to oblige for the fact they're selling a toxic asset.

The courts aren't selling anything, I don't think you mean to use the word "but" in this sentence and you have just a shocking naiveté about how courts and the real world work.

Are you handicapped or young? Which is it?

[Jesseda]

where has all the positive-funny-friendly poster gone da du da da du dah, where have all the good posters gone!!!!

[megax11]

Didn't say you, bro. If you're guilty of something, that's your deal, not mine... I've seen all news outlets get things wrong, you just happen to work for one of those outlets who has reported false news before.

Hell News 9 stated some wrong news the other day. When those people got ran off of the highway near 240 and shields, News 9 first reported it as two cars were racing and one flipped, not one was ran off the road, and that a toddler was among those that died in the car that flipped.

Boy they had that all wrong, but didn't think to get the facts before breaking the news. Like I said, jumping the gun. News hounds don't want to get scooped.
