Extending the Bricktown canal

[Sooner&RiceGrad]

I dont think that would be practical and financially feasible. Light rail is needed to bring the masses from the burbs

I have one word (acronym) MAPs. I think some other sort of commuter rail would be a better idea.

We need mall-style retailers to fill up the first floor of the buildings downtown. Perhaps the OKC TownCentre will aid in this.

I have not heard of this. Tell me, please, about it.

I know....most of you guys would probably prefer a Saks or Macy's over Dillards,

Seems fitting for one of the South's top ranked d'towns, we should be having no problem with getting these. But we are.

yeah, instead of having two stores at Penn, they should move one of them to downtown

This would devastate 50 Penn Place by opening up more space in Penn Square.

I think that the downtown area is really feeling the effects of not moving forward with the Galleria mall idea years ago.

Again, is this crazy talk like when chicken little told henney penney the sky was falling, or are you serious?

Thanks,
Nick.

In order of your replies.
1. The canal around the city is a dream. Without dreams, one will be in a rubber room at the laughing academy. Plus, we need light rail AND commuter rail.

2. Many major cities have retailers on the first floor of buildings. In fact, the Dell campus will be one of those. The stores will be for employee use only, however, the thought is the same.

3. Why would you rank the south? Oklahoma is not in the south. We are midwest.

4. 50 Penn Place ranked number one? (an earlier post) You have GOT to be kidding. It is dying and does not even have contemporary decor.

My opinion.

Why would you rank the south?

My almanac says Southern, so do several other forums I am on.

P.S. I too am glad you all are welcoming me!
