Efforts to Rename Brady Arts District

[guido911]

Everybody thinks they won. The definition of a good compromise.

In my line of work, the definition of good compromise:  Everyone leaves pissed off.

19 forum pages, many news articles and interviews, countless social media entries, several city council meetings and dozens of impassioned speakers to go from Brady to Brady. Well done Tulsa!

Yes!

I know a lot of people that aren't happy about this compromise.  They believe it is a joke.

I think the compromise is brilliant.

Here is the number of books right now for sale on Amazon...

They took my Wayne Brady idea, which was a joke. At least there is a chance Wayne Brady has been Tulsa unlike Matthew Brady.

Paul Tay said in his time at the podium that it was a joke. Who knows. At least we DO know that Paul Tay is a joke.

I'm good with this compromise.

It'd be great if this kind of time and emotion could be put into a project that would mean something.

I'm just curious what a tiny minority of Tulsans will find nearly 100 years in the past to have hurt feelings about next.

Paul Tay emerged from hiding? I'm guessing it just has to be a serious issue to get his attention.
Did Biker Fox make a appearance?

Let's get digging folks.

Ultimately, it was a contrived solution to a contrived problem.

He was at the rename Brady related things as well as capital improvements meetings.

OK. I can see people a little upset about this one. We should send their City Council all the information of how Tulsa glossed over took care of our renaming problem.

Might be hard to find another "Nathan Bedford Forrest" to rename the school for.

It's no longer named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, the local murderous KKK guy... it's now named after, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the plumber in Wyoming!

NBF was actually a celebrity endorser who ended up shuttering the KKK (to their surprise).
Now, the number of other famous people named Forrest (with two r's) is somewhat limited...
