Graffiti vandals are running wild with Kanbar's Tulsa Club building at 5th and Cincinnati. If the building were secured, I don't think they'd be able to spray paint the places they've hit. I don't remember that building having a graffiti problem before Kanbar bought it.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that's NOT one of his buildings

Thanks for the correction. That would be one of the few downtown art deco buildings that he didn't buy. Any idea who does own it?

I thinketh BOK dumped the Tulsa Club building for $250,000 to a gentleman out of the bay area.
It's loaded with asbestos and the deferred maintenance which will make it unresurectable (not a word but who cares...you know what I mean).
Trinity will someday buy it and make it another parking lot. There's BIG money for that in the congregation and they will not have to pay property taxes on it...Just abatement, demolition expenses, and pavement. It's the theme downtown you know.

That's my prediction.

It's a california investor that owns tulsa club. They are not keeping it secure by any stretch of the imagination.

I kinda thought Kaufman was out of the picture long ago..

Anybody here recognize what our monopolistic whirling writers omitted from the article today that was in the okc report yesterday?

I am pretty sure the part about the couple living together in NYC was left out of the late version whirled story.

The story said nothing of them living 'together' or being a couple at all.  Just that they both lived in New York City.  Martin Short and Dick Cavett came to my building in NYC once--does that make them a couple?

And you talk about whirled...

you are correct...
"The lawsuit states Kanbar looked to Kaufman as both a "trusted confidant" and as a financial advisor, and that the millionaire chose to focus his time on his inventions rather than on the financial details of his investments. In 1984, Kanbar moved from New York to San Francisco, but continued to rely on Kaufman for advice. He invited Kaufman to move from New York to San Francisco to be his financial manager and oversee his investments, business endeavors and philanthropic activities. "

I was reading more into the OKC story than I should have.

FYI, they lived together.

Ohhhhh. . .

So this is actually a "divorce" proceeding.  Makes sense, come to think of it.  Too bad for us - Tulsa got caught in the middle of a couple's spat.

If that is true than you are an (ahem) for "outing" two men who have not choosen to be "out".

MOD....swake needs a shake....

and yes, i am jealous that i do not own downtown property.
not.

Unless you've been to their house and witnessed a co-habitation situation, then it's not really appropriate to make such a claim.  Really not even appropriate if you have been to their house for dinner before.   Why didn't you just say they've watched movies over at George Kravis' house before?

I've never known you to let facts get in the way of a good story, so I'll chalk it up to being one of your fantasies.

Now that's just wrong!

[Conan71]

For the sake of this discussion, Kanbar and Kaufman's sexual proclivities are totally irrelevant.

[Renaissance]

It's relevant that the source of the feud between the former partners, in which many architectural gems of downtown Tulsa are concerned, might not be financial in nature.

I agree Conan....sorry I brought it up. The thought of two old geezers.....never mind.
