River Plan- Public Infrastructure

[waterboy]

They were using it for the Starlight concerts till the area flooded this spring. Occasional concert.

As far as the filters, I was not able to analyze them and they wouldn't let the tech books out of the room. I seem to remember they were a skimmer and catch basin sort of thing. The interesting thing to me was that they correctly determined that it was worth addressing. Even RPA spends scant attention to all the junk people toss in near the gathering areas.

Looking at the RPF web site, brought to mind:

When is the last time anyone used the RP amphitheater?  Maybe I don't listen to the right radio stations to hear of events there, but it's been awhile since I've seen any sort of activity there.

They used to have great concerts.  In the late '80's or early '90's I saw Bruce Hornsby, Moody Blues, and Robert Palmer.

I never liked that RP amphitheater. Just never felt like an attractive, fun or welcoming place or design. The area its in seems; barren, treeless, isolated and uninteresting. Great view of downtown though lol. But thats not enough to carry the rest of the negatives.   Cattails in the water in front of it, some really large landscaping rocks, a fountain or sculpture or two, some nice garden landscaping on either side, trees along the back, some other park features.  Its a good "infrastructure" start but could be made much more inviting. As per my quote below, they got the bread, but forgot the lilly.

They also had a nasty insect problem there.  I don't recall if it was moths or what stormed the stage at the Robert Palmer concert, but it was bad and they were aggressive.

During the song "Addicted To Love" he altered the words in the chorus to: "Gonna have to face it you're infested with bugs."

No schnitz, really happened.  A shining moment in Tulsa music history.
