Positive Thoughts, I'm excited

[Townsend]

I drive by the Avery museum location every day I go to work.  It's a positive reinforcement thing in my head that there is forward movement in town development.  

It also helps that it's one place I drive by where the "progress as promised" doesn't effect my drivetime.

The Arena is an obvious build.

Anyone else have a place they drive by that gives them a sense of Tulsa moving forward?

I know the street rehab downtown is a "sweep the leg" right now but it will be nice once it's done.

OU Tulsa, The Centennial Green, OSU Tulsa, etc.

[carltonplace]

River Parks trail improvements, midland valley trail extensions, Creek Casino, 6th and Peoria


I think we should really push the administration to move forward with the Tulsa Landing deal.

[Townsend]

Ahhhh, feeling better already.

I think TU is doing a great job. Cant wait to see the new entrance finished and the street work done.

I also think the Utica Place development is going quite nicely and is yet another anchor to making that area even better. ( If only I could afford one of those penthouses, sigh...)

I am also looking forward to the Riverwalk Phase 2 getting underway.

I and some other people also have a little project in the work for a certain park near downtown that will be a nice addition. Still working on developing the idea, meeting with various and sundry city officials, getting approval and funding etc. stay tuned. []

I mowed my yard yesterday, looks nice too.

Honestly, there is a lot of good things going on.  I REALLY hope they find a way to lure that large new retail on the West bank.  That and continued work on the current goings on - I'm really starting to think DT will take off in the next few years.  Lets hope office demand starts rising to help it along.

The Kum n Go repainted one of their stores...

Have you seen the remodeled adult bookstore downtown?

The outside looks great...I haven't been inside, I swear.

Cheesecake Factory!!  We're a real city now! [xx(]

Uhm....I like driving through downtown, seeing the streets torn up, the arena going in, then driving over to the Brady area and seeing actual small businesses with real customers!

Oh, while it's not a project, that report that came out a few months ago showing our per capita income increasing and actually being HIGHER than Austin....That's a good sign to me.

Can't say Permits have much of an impact on me....

But the number of permits requested for new construction and remodels so forth and so on....

Have an impact on all of the people within Tulsa.

They are sort of the thermometer for the financial well being of it's citizens...[]

Camelot is coming down, yeah buddy!

Houses along I-44 are being moved in anticipation of much needed widening on that stretch of 44.

I-44 and Yale moves traffic through now.

I make occasional trips into West Tulsa and look at how Tulsa Hills is coming along.  It is a very massive undertaking and will be a huge shopping development.

The center one expansion where the Wendys used to be on Brookside is looking nice now.

As Artist mentioned, Utica Place is really coming together and looks near completion.

The river trail enhancements are under construction, and will be nice, along with the QuikTrip meeting area that they are still going forward with in a reduced fashion...

And I checked it out the other day, there is a dam on the river, and water in it just north of 31st.  Someone should develop north of there!

I'm guessing all of that new student housing at TU will bring a lot of life to that area of 11th street (what they didnt bulldoze, lol)

And if you havent seen the arena, it is starting to look mighty impressive.  Can't wait to catch a big name act there, or a basketball game.
