I had to double take on if that was or wasn't a NSFW link, lol. Surely, they could have discovered a way better picture than that. I know I've seen tons, including Will's shots!

That shot gives a really distorted impression of what is south of the building, the angle manages to make like ten city blocks disappear.

agreed

Because they used a rendering instead of an actual photograph.

No, that's a real picture and even if it is a rendering it's still a true point of view.

Just saw the Continental Resources logo. My bad. It's legit.

[HOT ROD]

but it does showcase the devon tower, which I think was the intent.

It's okay. They did have that one fake pic from that same angle that was the front of a Yellow Pages so I know what you're referring to ;-)

The same shots have been shared many times but it's still a captivating building.

"...And in the interest of safety, we restrict work on the exterior of the tower to days when the wind speed is low..."

I think that limits them to about 10 days out of the year! (humorous exaggeration -- but not by much)

They have gotten a lot of them fixed. I was out about a week ago and specifically actually counted: On the South inset there are I think only 3 strips left that don't work, on the NE there are ~5 if I remember correctly. The NW portion is not so good, I think upward of 10, but it is by far the most blocked view, and a few of those non working portions are quite low on the building.

Praedura, are we going to see your updated future OKC skyline renderings soon? : )

[Praedura]

Depends on your definition of "soon".

Within a couple of months? Sure. A couple of days? No.

I just twiddle on this stuff in my spare time. It takes me awhile.

Did another tour: Devon Energy Center Tour (October 3 2013) - a set on Flickr

Did you see anything different on this tour compared to your first tour?

Last Friday I rode my bike on Devon's sidewalk (near Nebu) for literally 15 seconds looking for a place to park my bike so I could get breakfast at Nebu and I was about 10 feet from being off their property and was dramatically stopped by a running security guard. Seemed unnecessary, but not a big deal. However, after eating at Nebu I rode along Sheridan on the sidewalk on the Devon side of the street and the same security guard broke into a sprint towards me so I crossed over to the Myriad Gardens side of the street. Is it still not a public sidewalk? Seemed far too aggressive, but maybe they'd had some recent threats or something. Still, isn't Sheridan a public street with public sidewalks.

Yea, any of the sidewalk along the road should be city property and that seems odd they are focusing on that. Though technically you should be riding in the street not the sidewalk, unless it is specifically a trail that can also function like a sidewalk, granted a lot of times our sidewalks do not have enough people on them that it would matter.

[BoulderSooner]

bikes don't belong on sidewalks .

[David]

Yeah, I can't have much sympathy for that. If you need to park get off the bike and walk it along, don't ride it on the sidewalk.

[warreng88]

There is a bike lane on either side of Sheridan from EK Gaylord all the way down throuhg Film Row except in front of the Devon Tower if I remember correctly. Is there any particular reason why?

What's the story with the lighting? Are they ever going to get a handle on this? Looks tacky with so many issues...

Believe it or not, it's getting better.

[Anonymous.]

They rushed to get the LEDs to spell GO THUNDER in May and then kind of went back to normal LED fixing pace...

Those lights aren't out -- just being de-bugged.

There was an article that said they wanted to get things squared away before the thunder season and the holidays, so it looks like they are doing testing/programming.

[jccouger]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, The lights on Devon will never be 100% functional and I'm thankful every time I see them they didn't decide to place the LED fins on the entire building. The building has been "done" and occupied for over a year and this is still a issue that hasn't even gotten close to being resolved.
