I lobbed that very gently over the net so I would say that
was a fairly easy return. Still, I appreciate that
very much and it only makes me miss the Algonquin RT even
more. So thanks for that. I laughed. It sort of reminds me
of a birthday card I saw the other day that had a low flying
spaceship that was flying low and on the inside the caption
said “And then they beamed up your gift and sped away.”

If I still had a blog I put the picture of it up.

Not that anybody cares, but I liked the “so how did we get here?” part.

RESPONSE: I care Duck! Thanks!

Larry, you’ve got a point on I-40 – the loss of access from the new I-40 to downtown is not a surprise and it is what prompted ODOT to agree to build the boulevard.

Jason: in a lot of ways you hit in square on the head. I am a native birn OKCitian (live across the street from the hospital where I was born). Have traveled all over the US and lived in many different tates, but this is home. Many of us do indeed enjoy the small town feel of OKC even though we are one of the largest cities in the US by square miles. I have always seen us as a “rural city”. I don’t want OKC to become another Dallas or any other “big” city. If I liked that so much, I would move there.

Steve: These recent blogs seem to be related so if the post doesn’t really apply here, please feel free to move it elsewhere.

This all reminds me of the recent (and justified) uproar over the elimination of 4 of the DT access points with the new Crosstown. Where was the protests when this was designed how many years ago? It is rather late in the game now to fix it. Even if possible to fix, will probably be very expensive to do so.

I used to feel the same way, kris. Living in MP or HH is almost like you’ve made it. Now the dream is to build in Sosa or up near western avenue.

HH and MP used to be my dream neighborhoods…I am now reconsidering. My modest working class neighborhood seems a little more attractive now. People make all the difference.
