(PROJECT) A Gathering Place For Tulsa

Perhaps I've missed this in the commentary, but I had heard they were going to move the Blair Mansion from the property.  I know understand it will be demolished in the next month or so.

Henderson must have found out the house was a replica of the Jefferson Davis home.

I'd always heard a replica of Monticello. 

[Ibanez]

I believe it is a replica of The Hermitage.

[AquaMan]

Andrew Jackson's home? A Democrat? Must be torn down and the ground burned!

It is not owned by the group who now owns the land, and that group isn't starting anything until next summer.

The guy who owns the mansion had considered turning it into a nursing home, then said he was going to move it to Colorado.

Yes, that is the same info I had.  Just relaying that he is no longer moving the house, rather demolishing it.

I think that name "A Gathering Place" is not a good fit, could they not of thunk up something better? As for the RiverFront all I really care about it the jogging trails. The only reason I go there is to run on the trails.. But that's just me-  I wish they would focus on and  hurry up and build that new trail in back of the casino, as it is now the current  trail crosses busy casino driveways making it a hazzard for runners.

[AquaMan]

Really, I agree.

Perhaps, "A Dispersing Place next to the Running Place?"

[Hoss]

Really, I agree.

Nicely done.

[RecycleMichael]

This will be a nice place for non-runners too.

Run along sauerkraut.

What will that Gathering Place be used for anyhow? Picnics? To me it just seems like alot of money spent for little gain. I'd like to see the trail system expended farther south of 101st street. That's just me.

[RecycleMichael]

Yes. It is just you.

There will be concerts and activities everywhere. There is planned to be a museum and retail shops.

In Tulsa, we can do more than just provide places for you to run.

Donate some money then.

[Townsend]

Donate some money then.

If not money, donate time.  Do something positive.  Help someone or something good.

I know.  Reminds me of that big rectangular park in NYC.  Yea there were some jogging trails and such, but I don't for the life of me know why there were soooo many other people all over the place. Some seemed to be merely walking (who knows what was actually going on there)?  Some were even just sitting, completely puzzling.  Then there were a lot of people laying out in the sun (omg, don't they know they are asking for skin cancer!).  Some were out rowing boats in a little pond (dangerous!).  Then there were people out listening to others make a lot of "music" (racket if you ask me, shouldn't parks be quiet places?). I could go on and on, it was really the most absurd thing and you know they spent a LOT of money on that silly park.
