Title: New Name for Tulsa's New City Hall
Post by: Double A on July 14, 2007, 02:48:58 AM
Unless we decide to auction off the naming rights to the highest corporate bidder(which, as perverse as it sounds, would be strangely appropriate after the way this deal went down), I would suggest the following name: The Taylor & Turner Building. I think this is appropriate considering they were the leadership of the legislative and executive branches of our city government that approved this move. Since they both supported it, they should be grateful to have their names on it, right? Besides, I think it would be a nice symbolic gesture from the citizens of Tulsa to express our gratitude to Mayor Taylor for her service without accepting pay and to Councilor Turner for his years of service to Tulsa. Think about it, the T & T center does have a nice ring to it. If anybody else has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

If they can get ICE moved into there, it could be named the ICE CUBE

Well the obvious would be one of the monikers it already has. The "Borg Cube" or the "Ant Farm".  I vote "Borg Cube", we can then call the mayor the Borg Queen.  Resistance is Futile. You will be assimilated. [:P]

I would change it to simply One City Hall.

I think an apt name would be, "Target Range"

Is this in reference to some vast, as yet uncovered Al Qaeda threat on the municipal government of Tulsa, OK which is the cornerstone of their plan to topple the US Government?

I would have added Auditor Phil Wood's name to the building too, except for the fact that he was AWOL through the whole process. It Sure would have been nice for Our city Auditor to verify some of these numbers bandied about. It kinda makes me wonder why the city even has an Auditor if we don't even use him?

I was guessing "One City Center" to be close to the original name.

Double A.. Resistance is futile.

Do they have some kind of massive super computer in there?  or is it more like awaiting visitation?  

Whether Moloch or Chiun gets around to claim it, or not, the motto could be: "DOOOOOOON'T YOOOOOOOOOOOOU BELIEEEEEEEEEEVE IT!!!"

Crystal Palace (//%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Palace%22) has a certain historical precedent. Besides, something with "Crystal" in the name sounds new-agey enough to accomplish the "transformation of our souls" as the Mayor promised it would.

I like the crystal castle, too! Taylor and Turner Hall gets my vote though. It's a catchy, dignified sounding, bumpersticker, style over substance, soundbyte, that has a Tammany Hall sort of hollow ring to it. I think it perfectly describes the new city hall. Of course, if ICE moves in, the ICE cube would be the obvious choice.

An old buddy of mine worked on moving the Williams employees into that building from the mini WTC once the building was completed; he called and still calls it the 'Glass S**t House'

Hmmm ... I thought Roscoe Turner was the "do-no-wrong," "most trusted" councilor.

How about the "Kum-N-Go Center"...

Cant let QuikTrip have all the attention:

Expo Center to get new name
QuikTrip Corp. has agreed to a 10-year, $2.6 million naming rights agreement with Expo Square.

The deal, announced at a Thursday morning press conference at the fairgrounds, includes a name change for one of the facility's most recognizable buildings.

The 448,400-square-foot Exposition Center will now be known as the QuikTrip Center.

The agreement includes construction of a new ticket office/kiosk in the entrance of the building.

QuikTrip will use the kiosk to hand out product samples and informational materials

I wonder if they will be passing out One Nation Oklahoma(the anti-Native American sovereignty hate group they sponsor) propaganda?
