Any major reworking of downtown must include the above and still provide the needed space for workers.

As far as bringing nonbusiness, if it aint related to the river, dont waste the $$.

As far as historical buildings? Some of the ones they have been talking about should be torn down anyway. Despite their original value, some of those buildings are a eyesore and always were.

Candidiates were asked preliminary questions and their responses will published online before the event.

The questions solicited from the TulsaNow membership and forum visitors are what will be asked at the live event.

Hope that helps.

Is downtown dead? Why do we assume that because few people live downtown that it’s dying. Why does it have to be more than a business center?

These letters are working.
People are hearing our voice.

I encourage everyone who cares about these buildings, and other issues in downtown Tulsa to keep writing letters. It may not seem like they get opened and read, but they are.

The biggest obstacle to soccer in Tulsa is football. They just don’t want to share the limelight -or the fields. They protect their field use with rabid fervor.

It starts early. There is ongoing “debate” from elementary on up through high school and “contests” out on the playgrounds as to who are the better athletes. They don’t call soccer “rugby on wheels” for nothing – guess who usually wins.

Even the elementary school P.E. teacher had the nerve to tell his young students “we don’t do soccer – it’s un-American”. Well, they do soccer now. He had no choice. More kids were asking to play soccer than football. Even the girls were demanding it.

The above poster is right – I have yet to hear of any MLS player getting arrested for drugs, rape, or murder. And – if you don’t make the grade – you don’t play – no matter how good you are.
