    Great pics. I enjoyed the views of Maywood Park and the Hampton Inn from the parking garages. It puts things in a different perspective. I took some this weekend with my iPhone. I'll post them soon as well.

    Awesome - thanks!

    The Brownstones really look great; combining a traditional and more urban look. Really works IMO.

    The Hill looks much more suburban and I'm still worried about that project.

    And I didn't realize Candy Factory was under construction. That will breathe lots of life into Bricktown when complete.

    I didn't realize the BOK Plaza plans had changed so much.

    Here's the original rendering published in the Oklahoman when it was announced:



    And here is the on-site rendering from the photos above:

    ^Yikes, they have eliminated many crucial elements, most notably the awnings and tables. Crap.

    guys, if you haven't yet - please post your updates on the national sites (ssp and ssc). That way we keep the nation informed of OKC's progress.

    I will, most likely SSP. Look for the construction in the Southwest/Central subforum and the skyline pics in the main US photo subforum.

    I think the biggest change (loss) to the BOK plaza plans is the elimination of the big, bold archway entrance.

    I also wish they would have kept the awnings.

    excellent ptown - Thanks much!

    we need to keep our OKC threads up and active on the national forums. It's just free advertising - and over time, changes people's opinions for the better since they can see the city for themselves - from a local's prospective.

    Agreed. I'm glad the sculpture is staying though.

    I wish the brick wasn't so dark for the condos that are across from Block 42....Block 42 is pretty dark itself, I wish things were a bit lighter..

    Wonderful photos, ptownsnwbrdr! How did you manage to get to your high-up vantage point to take the Hampton Inn pics? Great shots!

    Doug, the pics look like he was on top of the Bricktown parking garage looking down.

    Oh. I figured he had some secret password or something!

    I like it all, except for that bank at 6th and Walker. Is that downtown or at NW 122nd and Rockwell???

    W O W ! !

    How this got past me up until now is amazing! Fantastic pics...a whole new perspective. I like how you got the pics of Maywood with the adjoining UP trestle. I remember one night I left my friend in Bricktown, oh so long ago, and walked that trestle up to the main BNSF line. It was cool. All overgrown with ivy now. That will be a sight for a future homeowner.

    FYI..last I heard (two days ago), the Maywood Lofts are looking at an April 2009 completion.

    I noticed they took down a fence next to the Finley building, and it looked like they were cleaning up the parking lot. I'd heard there were plans for a bunch of lofts or townhouses on that site, but thought it was going to be a later project. Also, I noticed the building on the south side of 2nd Street across from the Maywood Lofts is being refurbished, but don't remember if anyone has talked about what's happening with it.

    That's unbelievable, isn't it? What a waste of space.

    That's going to be someone's private residence. There was an article awhile back with renderings. They're dropping something like 2 million on the renovation and will have a pool on the roof. Your first order of business when you move in to Maywood Park should be to find out who they are, make friends with them, and get yourself on that party list.

    Ah, I remember that article. I thought it was somewhere in Deep Deuce. That is going to be a great house.

    There's another development going in there. I think it's the Maywood Hall that was up on Anthony McDermid or the Triangle website.
