That’s the question posed in today’s front page story by Bryan Dean. The Land Run Monument is one of the many projects launched by the Oklahoma Centennial Commission. At issue is whether the final count will be 45 or 38 pieces when the monument is completed.
In case you missed it, I had two stories Sunday. One examined the role Tulsa might play in Oklahoma City becoming a major league market. The other is a fun interview with Meg Salyer, who is widely hailed as a visionary who helped make Automobile Alley what it is today.
As a sidenote, an interesting story appears in today’s Tulsa World about a notable downtown landmark facing an uncertain future. Downtown Oklahoma City once had similar “challenges.” I do not know of any downtown Oklahoma City property owners who currently have left their buildings abandoned. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the worst case scenario for downtown Oklahoma City, especially in the central business district, is simply one of owners slow to do what is needed to make their properties viable again.
