Oh, sorry, I drove to Dallas a few weeks ago, and was struck by how many places have the same old crap everywhere.
Tulsa really needs to re-focus on who we are, and not focus on "checking off boxes" of national chains. We cannot compete with any other cities if all we do is build the same crap the same ways as everyone else. We can't let our growth be driven by out of state developers with standard issue templates and their own agendas. Topeka can do that. We need to find our heart and go with that.
Artist, you're on the right track!
