Dang! Just saw the Devon Tower for the first time tonight. From Edmond! So cool.

I wasn't looking for it. Just driving down Broadway between 15th and 33rd this evening, looked ahead, and there it was. No mistaking the tower shape with that distinctive yellowish white triangle at the top. Awesome.

I'm quite amazed at how well it's viewable this far north. I mean, I wasn't straining to see some tiny, barely detectable object. It was fully recognizable in all its glory.

I'm going to take a picture very soon to show this view.

I've noticed it from Danforth and Bryant during the day. Don't know if you can see if from there at night or not. I haven't driven through that way at night in a while.

I was flying from Ardmore to Oklahoma City on a beautiful, clear winter morning a few years ago. Climbing out of ADM through 3,000' (MSL), I could begin to see the Oklahoma City's downtown skyline. It disappeared into the ground clutter as I continued climbing, but it was a remarkable sight. Today - with Devon all the way up - you can probably see it from the runway in Ardmore!

It looks really nice from there at night. I walk the UCO campus before work, and when it's lit, it's very easy to see.

[Praedura]

I liked your suggestion of UCO, Mr. Cotter, so I tried it last night. Found a good place for a shot, but my pics turned out awful. Because -- a) my camera isn't all that great -- b) I'm a little out of practice -- c) I don't have any experience with outdoor night shots.

So, I'm going to try again and see if it can't coax a half-way decent shot out of my Digimax.

In the mean time, here's a dreamy little picture of a distant OKC skyline that I came across:

I was down there Friday night and they were testing the lights. In the middle of the indention, one of the light bars was extremely bright compared to what we've seen before. There was also a lower portion of one of the triangles lit up and changing colors along with the 3 indentations.

When they get it all cranked up, the light display will be outstanding.

[Pete]

Yes, as I've mentioned the system has the ability to be much brighter than what we've seen thus far.

Also, there is virtually an unlimited number of possible colors and all types of movement and programming yet to come.

When will the Devon tower be officially open?

[Pete]

It's been open for a long time but I believe their official dedication and the formal opening of Vast (the tower-top restaurant) will be Oct. 24.

Still see two windows that need to be installed. They are both fairly close together. I thought they had finished installing all the windows. I'm just curious why it's taking so long.

[G.Walker]

The window that was broke out due to the crane hitting it still has not been replaced, then they took out another window just below that here recently. Maybe there is more damage in that area than we thought, and they have to repair the whole area.

[Mr. Cotter]

There is a third window on the same level as the crane broken window removed from the alcove part (where the lights are). But the black plywood is out, so it looks like they are working on it now.

New here. Just thought I would try and post a picture of mine. A little creative freedom went into it.

Excellent, please post more

Wouldn't you know Larry Nichols gets in the lunch line next to me at Nebu?

He fetches his own lunch? The man's personal stock just went up three ticks in my eyes.

I've seen him in there waiting in line, just like everyone else.

I think the anti-establishment group here sometimes is harsh on their criticisms and often does so without really knowing about some of the people or their intentions. Larry has always seemed very unaffected by his success. He has been generous with his time and money and I have never seen him treat anyone as if he thought he was better than them. There is a reason why he has been very successful. Larry doesn't seem the type to want to "control" but he does take his positions of leadership seriously. I think he balances his responsibilities to his faith, family, employees, investors and community very well. We should have more business and community leaders that humbly LEAD.

He takes his mom to IHOP on Sunday mornings, and they wait quietly in line with everyone else. Don't you just love old school class?
