Good Things:
  • Mayfest setting up
  • Working bartlett square fountain
  • Centennial green no longer parking lot
  • Found a Tulsa Club application filled out in 1931


Bad Things:
  • Tulsa Club heavily vandalized
  • Boston renovations running a bit behind
  • Centennial Green area in use by Boston crews

I have "more than a feeling" you're wrong.

Does anyone know how the Mayo loft projects are going?  The Mayo Hotel lofts' website (http://"http://www.mayolofts.com/") says "occupancy summer 2007."  The Mayo building, which is now known as Mayo 420 (http://"http://www.mayo420.com/index.html") is supposed to be ready for tenants in early 2008.

I haven't noticed any activity at either site.

Haven't seen anything much going on there. Kanbar cancelled (or delayed) his 6th & main construction but at least the McFarlin remodel (phase 1) is done.

Since I don't get back home very often, I am confused.  What is the "Centennial Green"?

The Centennial Green (don't have a picture link on me) is a 1/2 block parking from Main to Boston on the south side of 6th Street. It is the starting point for the forthcoming "Centennial Walk" which is a self-guided walking tour with placards and streetscaping around downtown. The Centennial Green park will highlight the history of Tulsa including several oil-related projects including a "geyser" fountain as well as an outdoor performance space and possible outdoor cafe.

Oh, and I found the link:

No idea on the lofts.  Unless I'm mistaken on the location, one of my daughter's attended a prom at the Mayo a month or so back.  As well, a friend's daughter is having a wedding reception there in the near future.  So I guess, the lower level is re-done and open for business.

Seems a lot of people have decided to continue to park in the Centennial green.  I walked by there today and someone moved the cones.  1/2 of the park is full of cars; the other half is full of gravel.  I wonder when the city will put no parking signs up so they can ticket the trespassers.
