OKC Central Chat?
An intriguing idea came up in the comments on my post yesterday on downtown housing. Let’s run with it. If I were to “host” an “OKC Central chat” on downtown for-sale housing, maybe after work over dinner, drinks, with some of you tagging along. Now, if we do this, who would be the ideal guests?
Here’s my list so far, with no significance to the order:Jane Jenkins, Cathy O’Connor, Nick Preftakes, P.B Odom, Richard McKown, Anthony McDermid, Jeff Click, Ron Bradshaw, Blair Humphreys, Dick Coyle, Marva Ellard, Mickey Clagg, Paige Gregory, more???
What I’m looking at, essentially, would be a really great dinner conversation that would welcome “spectators” to listen in, and maybe ask questions at the end. I’m really just winging it here, making it up as I go along, so ideas are welcome as I think this through.
Thank you for joining our conversation on OKC Central. We encourage your discussion but ask that you stay within the bounds of our commenting and posting policy.

I would like to tag along. Those are some power players right there. Instead of getting them all at the same time, maybe it becomes a bi-monthly meeting (or monthly) and they come in to talk about their ideas, we pepper them with questions, and everyone builds up contacts.
Steve, you could be sowing the seeds of a group to help shape city policy– something akin to SPUR in San Francisco, for example. http://spur.org/
Steve, as you know, ULI Oklahoma also feels that this is a critical topic. If you’d like any help in coordinating your OKC Central Chat, let us know and we can explore it. Good luck — it sounds great!
This is a great idea. I would love to show up. In addition to the above, maybe you can see if a council person or two could show up from time to time? I don’t know about how often, but when there is a lack of in person chats, maybe an online chat occasionally would be good too (like the sports guys do).
Count me in!
