Most city leaders that truly make a difference do so by plain hard work, either building a business in the local business community, or serving their community through the political process or community service.

One of the reasons I don’t post a lot on message boards anymore, is I found out it’s a huge time waster arguing with a bunch of folks that have nothing better to do with their time. As a prominent OKC city leader told me, most of the people that post on message boards do so because they can’t get their voice heard under ordinary means.

I’ll get off my soap box now.

But you’re going to have to try again on the others. Remember, the answers are on the list above.

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:05:59 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/okccentral/2008/04/15/the-eyesore-list/#comment-154 When you are trying to figure out how a certain building (like Stage Center) made the list of “eyesores”, you only have to look at the source of the list…okctalk. The people that post over there arern’t the most positive people.
There are some valid buildings on the list, but others are just some form of sour grapes( Harkins theater, Bass Pro).

2) First National
3) Park Harvey??
4) City Detox

How’d I do?
