(PROJECT) A Gathering Place For Tulsa

[sauerkraut]

Pete and Repeat sat on a fence.  Pete fell off.  Who was left?

No one was left but us broken records. Stuck in a groove. I'm just sayin'.

What has been built on the Gathering place property? 

C'mon man, show us that you've even gone close to the area by telling us what's new there.

I did say MOST people who go to River Parks go for the trails- and people who rollerblade use the trails. The biggest  draw to River Parks is the jogging trails, Saturday & Sunday mornings the trail is crowded with runners and cyclists not may people doing anything else. The Gathering Place is Ok but it's not what I would of planned with the money. As I said use some of the money for the west bank a good example is why not build up the west bank Festival Park? Extend the trails down to Jenks on the west bank so we'll have a big trail loop. Seems to me they are Putting too many eggs into one place~ The Gathering Place. Split the money up..  JMO.

OK.  Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here on this one.   I get that you are primarily are a jogger, and don't have young children, etc.  But there are tons of people who do, and this is going to be a very cool park. (Even if I am going to be blocked due to the construction for a year or so...)  Also, remember that this is private money and Kaiser is able to say where  he wants to spend his money, etc.  And of course, this private expenditure could open up more public funds for West Side improvements, etc.

But there is a logic flaw I want to point out in your argument.   You suggest that "The biggest  draw to River Parks is the jogging trails, Saturday & Sunday mornings the trail is crowded with runners and cyclists not may people doing anything else."  This of course is true, because that's basically all there is right now.   It is a self-fulfilling statement, but has no bearing on future-state.  Once the new park is in place there will undoubtedly be a large number of people using it, and will change the dynamics of the entire area.

Heck of a try but that's where you lost him.

He'll post the same thing he's posted the last three times

He's waiting for Google Maps to update the satelite photos.

I am taking a self-imposed absence from responding or reading anything from sauerkraut. I just cannot go any further.

I argue with gaspar or guido911, but I am always smiling while typing. I like those guys and they are worthy of my words. They are just wrong and need my help.

Sauerkraut is something else. I don't want to even think about his posts. His ignorance is not amusing, but annoying. He is so wrong he can't be fixed.

Join me in not responding to him. We can have an adult conversation and ignore the barking dog next door.

I suggested earlier and still think that he might be trolling all of us,  but I just couldn't help myself this time.   If he's a troll, he is upper-echelon for being able to keep it up this long.  If not, well "just bless his little heart" as my grandmother used to say.   I'll try to follow your lead.

Can the mods activate the ability to ignore a user so their posts don't show up?

Not using SMF.  Not sure about other forum software but that (changing software) likely won't happen.  At least this decade.

I know it's private money but has Kaiser said he does not want the money spent on anything else only the Gathering Place?  That's a ton of money, there is a lot more that can be done along with the Gathering Place. The west side has Festival Park and that is huge empty chunk of land they even got rid of the old band shell that used to be there. Every January 1st they do the Polar Bear Plunge there and that's about it. Maybe I'm just thinking too much outside of the box.

I'm sure if someone gives you $300M dollars for something, they're perfectly fine if you just blow it all on hats.
