Brookside borders?

Here is something of interest, ARTEEST, from 'Urban Tulsa Weakly' Insider's Guide.  Tell me if you can guess what development is being described: 'Downtown's newest residential addition.  Brownstones and town homes that are built to last and to bring a community together.  Complete with your own pond and walking path.' (emph mine, p.42, Spr. Ed.)

Any guesses?

Bad news: Brookside brickwork is developing a nasty lip where the bricks meet the tar.  Good news: Hughes' latest addition looks like it is going to be painted white, hiding the nasty cheap bricks they are made with.

I thought there was no actual brick in Peoria on Brookside.  Isn't it painted, stamped asphalt, like they do everywhere now when they do streetscaping?  It's what they used on Clark Street in Chicago when I lived there, and I'm pretty sure the last time I was in Tulsa I saw them doing the stamping on Peoria.

Tim, sorry, but you're wrong about the bricks developing a lip.  There aren't any, so they can't.

Unless your going to suprise me with something else?[:)]

As for the "Huhges bricks". When I noticed they were laying the fist few bricks I wondered if they were going to paint them and thought... Hope they aren't spending a lot of money on those since they are going to paint over it all to match the rest.

The bricks are backyard patio pavers.
The white brick building is Aberson's project.
The neighborhood assoc. borders are 31-51. riverside -lewis, but if you live past utica your house is worth too much to be considered "brookside"

My bad, I thought the new buildings were Hughes projects.  At least they are not stuccoed.
