Does that mean they will use Marriott lumber for the Hampton then?

I've not heard of Marriott lumber.  Is it a common building material?

No, but for grins I decided to Google it and I did get a hit for Marriott Lumber in Scranton, Pa.

I Googled "Marriott Lumber" before I posted my reply, and I didn't see any Marriott Lumber in Scranton.  What's their street address?

Tulsa Parking Authority buys land in Brady Arts District for new parking facility
By KEVIN CANFIELD| OCTOBER 11, 2016
TPA Director Peyton Haralson said the authority purchased the land in part to allay concerns prospective business owners in the Brady District might have about available parking.

The Tulsa Parking Authority recently purchased a 45,000-square-foot property that runs along the north side of East Cameron Street from Boulder Avenue to Main Street.

Looks like something's finally going to happen with the Borden/Truck lot

I know this is too much to hope for, but it sure would be nice if they built a parking garage rather than a surface lot.

Hell, while we are dreaming let's make the first floor of the parking structure be retail.

Why not just build a single story shallow building in front of the lot (king of like the Fairfield)? I'm sure there are a ton of people looking for small spaces anyway.

They'll purty up the surface parking lot with poles...with lights!  They really break up the space.

It was quiet as a morgue anytime we ate dinner there which were non-show nights so I didn't expect it to be overly busy but it made you wonder.  Were they doing very good lunch business?

Update on Residence Inn progress. Walls started going up this week. Here's what it looks like today:

Does the Residence Inn go all the way to the corner of 5th & Denver?

[Dspike]

Yes, I believe so. The concrete slab definitely reaches the entire block.

The loggers, truck drivers, rail workers, and mills of the PNW say thank you for using our lumber.
