I agree with others. The old Page Belcher Building needs to be razed.

I think the city is about done with the move (and I must say they ruined the Onetech building) and the talk about the hotel subsided a while ago, I'm hoping someone comes along though and goes through with it. I agree, I don't want one right next to it like the one at the Ford Center. |

I think they want to put a hotel right next to the convention center.
I also think the city hall move is really just starting. There is an article in today's paper that says the city council toured on Friday and some are upset because the Mayor is using existing offices on the top floor instead of building new offices on a lower floor.

Well, tonight they started attaching the "top ring", which will arch right above the "BOK" logo. And to think, I figured they were just going to leave it off!

The closer this thing gets to completion the more excited I am about being able to drive up and attend an event. All of Oklahoma should celebrate this iconic piece of architecture. |

Wow, and to think at this time last year they were just putting up the steel. It's now starting to look like the drawings and models.
Can't wait for May 8th now. I saw an article where they had started installing the seats in the upper bowl last week.

8MP. It's the Kodak Z812 which I bought after I bounced the z612 off the kitchen floor. |

You know that would make a good entry for the CDF photo contest. The theme is architecture. |
