Very nice. Please do share updates in the future as that is a really cool perspective. I am particularly interested to see how they construct/grade for the land bridges. |

I’d love to see monthly updates, then do a time-lapse edit when it’s done. Very cool!

Manhattan construction - always the second-lowest bidder, taking 3 times as long as any other company. |

The Tulsa World comments section predicably is melting down again.
Who are all those idiots?

Its not realistic to think this will be a seamless transition. Expect a lot of timeframe shuffling, and some things cut back. |

I'm not sure if I missed the info on here. But what's the reason Manhattan is out and Crossland is in? I was told that yesterday buy a person I work with. I must have missed it on the news also.

I believe it was disagreement over the requested timeline. |

Children's Museum Gets Kaiser Granthttp://publicradiotulsa.org/post/childrens-museum-gets-kaiser-grantTULSA, Okla. (AP) — The George Kaiser Family Foundation is giving $10 million in land for the construction of a permanent children's museum in Tulsa.
The Tulsa World reports officials were set to announce the foundation's pledge Thursday. The museum would be located in A Gathering Place for Tulsa, a $350 million park that's being built with help from dozens of private and corporate donors.
Tulsa Children's Museum Discovery Lab was opened in an unoccupied community center in 2013. It was meant as a temporary location until the development of a permanent museum.
The first phase of the park is scheduled to finish in late 2017. Plans call for opening the museum in 2020, with costs of building the facility and exhibits estimated at $29 million.

This is great. I am so jealous of the Children's Museum in OKC. |

The science center (former omniplex?) I took my kids there and like 20% of the hands-on exhibits were broken, and they were pretty confused about the murder mystery exhibit. They're also getting way more a-la-carte with their prices. |

I went there once. Admit it was a long time ago so may have changed, but first thing I remember was how desolate and depressing the area around it was. Also the interior felt very drab and "warehouse/institutional". Wasn't anything to be jealous of imho. I hope ours is better. |

Anyone remember the Harmon Science Center at 41st & Hudson? It was a pretty decent children's/science museum. There hasn't been anything like it on the same scale in Tulsa since it closed in the late 90's. Something like it or better and integrated into the park (which it sounds like it will be) will be a nice addition.
