Whoever came up with the idea the space would just be surface parking was misinformed.


Here are some picture of the non-surface parking I took on last Thursday:











I think it's safe to call BS.

Those are phone pictures, so sorry that the quality is not all that...

Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of beer garden and tiger/lion display?

I could give a crap about the tigers and lions but don't dangle beer gardens in front of me just to yank 'em away.

Other than that, the parking lot is lovely.

I heard the Beer garden rumor too, but have not found a source.

Keep in mind that in addition to losing the $135,000 a year in rent we also paid $210,000 to take down the Roller Coaster and another $227,500 to clear the land.  Figure the annuity is worth $2mil (PV of an annuity at 7%) and we are already in for $2,500,000 before we start building those lovely lots (which cost an additional 2.5mil or so I'd guess) . Not too mention the loss of entertainment, an interesting landscape, and a Tulsa icon.

I voted for the River proposition even though I hated her.  Someone needs to take a large "Wack-a-Mole" hammer to the County Commissioners' heads.

Post of the week!

Was that Robby and Bob Bell grabbing their ankles out in the middle of that parking lot?

Yes it does look better. So glad all that filthy eyesore is gone.

On another note...

Why do I have to pay a $2 service fee when I go to events in the new QT Expo?

Is there a reason that the corporate sponsorship suddenly resulted in new fees?

Hmm, come to think of it gun show admission was $12 this last time.  I wondered about the sudden $2 jump from before the holidays.
