Thanks for the photos guys!

Very interesting to watch this unfold.

[Jesseda]

With this almost complete I wonder when the rumored next huge downtown building project will be announced? anymore news on this rumor?

[dmoor82]

WTH how did you get up there?I think you have the best pics so far,and would look very nice on SSC or SSP!

[Mike63]

Now that was cool!

[okcpulse]

Please share, BG918. How DID you get up there? Much less in the construction zone? Awesome, awesome pics.

[Thunder]

Yeah, I was gonna ask that question! How the hell?!?!

Could you do the same for me and William, so we can go up there???

[Dustin]

Ya. It definitely all makes sense now after driving by it today. You can really get a sense of what the final outcome will look like.

[Dulahey]

Very nice.

[earlywinegareth]

Whoa...if I were up there this song would be going thru my mind the whole time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4BBQMjbX3c

The ABSOLUTE BEST Pics I have seen!!

You realize that you have taken pics from a perspective that has never been taken before of Okc??

[dmoor82]

Seeing ariel views like that shows you how much infill OKC needs.....alot!BG918,do you have a pic of the medical district or Deep Deuce from that same vantage point?

[bluedogok]

I have connections.

I knew that was the answer......

[Thunder]

I'm sitting here and just absolutely dying!!! Devon have shown that they are capable of allowing ordinary citizens to enter the zone and go up the tower. I'd really like for that to be done for me and William. Heck, I'd take along SkyWestOKC with me. LOL! I really want to do a video of going up and down on the elevator to the very top and do a bunch of pictures. It'll be priceless! What ya think, Matt?

I don't know about the Devon site, but any other construction site you can walk anywhere as long as you wear a yellow vest, safety glasses, and a hard hat. No one would stop you if you acted like you belong there. Not that you should do it. LOL

[dmoor82]

Thunder,I hate to burst your bubble but You and I will not see the inside of that tower untill the resturant opens!Who knows if BG918 is an "ordinary" citizen or an employee,and if he were why would he tell us?

[earlywinegareth]

Dudes, wait til the tower opens, I'm willing to bet Devon will have an extended open house for people wanting that magnificent view.

I will try doing that. You may see me on KFOR and KOCO if I'm caught.

Based on past experience, you can lug around a parachute as well.

To be fair that was in the middle of the night. How can we expect the security guard to get off the internet or stop watching his movie and chase after them?

Exactly! I was going to say, looking at the Bricktown picture, "How can someone say there is a parking problem in Bricktown!?" Plenty of open space.

Grab a mop and a bucket and doors will open....

[BG918]

Awesome shots. Too bad it was so hazy and was taken when everything is brown-ish.

Yeah...you can really see how the heat and drought has taken a toll on the city and surrounding landscape. It also becomes evident how many parking lots and just vacant lots there are in the inner city.

Everyone will be able to take these same shots after the restaurant opens in early 2013. An early evening dinner with a storm rolling in from the west would be pretty awesome.

I was told there have been times when it was raining at street level and not at the top of the tower, and that it can be 10 degrees cooler at the top.

[kevinpate]

Very nice pics. Haze to be sure, but I am actually impressed by just how much green still exists despite the recent rash of green killing weather.

[pickles]

Just look at all that beautiful surface parking.

[mrktguy29]

Loving the photos! Really makes me wish I had a connection to get a tour! Time to call up Larry and pull some strings!
