Metro Has Questions
Over at www.okctalk.com – the city’s premier online community forum – Metro has posted the following questions. I’m really hoping he’s not thinking I’m bored and without a to-do list right now. But they are good questions. And some, I suspect, can be answered by some of this blog’s readers (Yes, I’m talking to Grant, Bert, Jason and others).
So guys, if you can, help me out here.

Metro’s questions and story ideas:
1.) Asian District Streetscaping/ area projects including Lotus Plaza and Sun Moon Plaza as well as the new Asian Plaza that is going up.
2.) Legacy Arts retail update and possibly why Henderson was allowed to bail out on an unfinished OCURA project after he was given several years of delays and watered down the bid that got him the project.
3.) Maywood Lofts/Leslie – brief status update
4.) Devon Update- (not much to report, but everyone is always interested in rehashing old news).
5.) First National Update – I know he wrote about the liens in today’s paper, but I’d like to see much more in depth about what improvements they have done, where they are at with current improvements and what is planned. That new “north” entrance seems to be coming along way behind schedule.
6.) The Hill Update – more info on what Canfield is doing to secure financing.
7.) Humphrey’s Farris Wheel/ Downtown Airpark project
8.) Bert Belanger’s proposed development
9.) Where Steve Mason is at on developing the rest of NW 9th near Broadway.
10.) Update on Mickey Clagg/Bob Howard and their “Midtown Renaissance”. Especially the building on 10th and Robinson as it is shaping up. What are they doing to attract retailers, etc.

I have been wondering about the holiday inn express bricktown as well….
i drove by the boathouse yesterday and there is signs up for the Devon boat house and there is a lot of activity going on over by the sign

Nice advertising, Steve. Hah, just kidding.
And let me just add that http://www.okmet.org is the top state urban development forum!
I usually just assume that if there’s not an article and it’s not in a council/committee agenda, nothing happened.
I personally think that everyone has their own list of questions. I don’t even know if I could narrow mine down to 10, but a lot of that has to do with being removed from OKC and not knowing what’s going on in the inner circle.
I will say Blair Humphreys developments, since there were SO many of them proposed at one time, seem intriguing to me. Can’t blame metro for that one, even though I’ll just keep my list to myself.
1. What happened to “Panda Plaza” or whatever it was called there at about Classen and 26th. All signage is gone and the logo is painted over on the awning. Too close to “Panda Express”?
2. Update on the Holiday Inn Express in Bricktown.
3. Boathouse row – where are the boathouses?
4. Photography Hall of Fame – Any movement?
Add those to the list
