The American? ANYONE?!

Has anyone actually looked out from Homes Peak?  All I saw was broken down vehicles, single-wide trailers, double-wide trailers, and trash all over the "rolling Osage Hills".

The view from Lookout is outstanding.  

That, and the view to lookout is great from
town!

The railyards is kind of noisy up there...

It is ok on Holmes Peak, but I think if they would have decided to build it in town, more investors would have invested, which is why they arent building yet. Riverside was the perfect choice for me or even midtown somewhere. Things like tourist attractions, universities, etc. create infill.

Yeah their would have been nothing better than a stroll down Riverside and looking upward to a sunset blocked by the Indians pouch or armpit...

Near Downtown would have definitely brought in the movie making crowd...for a redo of "Godzilla"......

I never thought of it that way, Rico. What about a smaller statue with several statues in a garden in midtown Tulsa or Riverside

Great Idea............. However that would change the business plan of Mr Gray and Co.

The reason they have yet to build is the $500K price tag on a share of stock in the venture....

Makes you kinda wonder what this statue is going to be made of doesn't it...?

That's Right... Just when you thought Berkshire was high priced along comes Mr Gray and Company and makes Warren Buffet look like a pauper......

Many alternate locations like those listed above were nixed due to geological reasons. Big indian need good footing.

Big tower need good footing too.  They are
already up there.

Bad road to the 20 acres for sale however, but
that just takes a dozer and time to fix.

I do love that site, it has a great view of
downtown.

I think a sculpture/statue garden in midtown Tulsa would be awesome, with or without "The American" ever being built.

I was told that there was a news report on channel 2 Thursday night, but I can't find it on their website, did any one else see it?

Crap! I emailed Natalie Sentz at KJRH about it a week or so ago hoping she could find something out. She seems to be a bulldog of a reporter and as a bonus is easy on the eyes. Don't tell me I missed the story!! I was out of town Tuesday thru today and didn't get to see the local news.

I saw the story. They said that the project is full speed ahead-should begin construction in Jan 2007 and be completed in 2009. They claim they still need to raise an additional $20 million, but are confident that they will be able to do so.

Natalie Portm.....er I mean Natalie Sentz didn't do the story, Krazy Kathy chaser McIntyre did.

Well that sucks! I like Natalie as a reporter, thats why out of all of them I emailed her. She always seems to do a good job. Disappointing that they gave the story to someone else.

I dont get it, The project is full speed ahead, It has been delayed once again from summer 2006 to Jan 2007, and in addition they need to raise 20 million more dollars? This project was supposed to begin in 2004. I bet it will be"delayed" again once Jan 2007 comes around. I think it will never be built.

I would bet on it.
