Last post by Tulsan - Today at 10:35:38 AMQuote from: SXSW on September 17, 2024, 10:08:37 AMLooks like just a massing model - I imagine the final designs will be very different. I've heard the same architect as Noma may ultimately be involved so I would expect a decent design.
So this deal finally closed last April, with the subject dirt being sold to WPA Development, but I just saw that the property was conveyed to the Muscogee Creek Nation in August 2025?
Any clue what the deal is? Is the project still a go with the Creeks as capital partners, or is this a reset for that parcel?

I listen to the TU Classical radio station in my car. XM radio is more than I want to pay.

Last post by Hoss - January 09, 2026, 07:55:05 AMI know this is way late but I've not visited in a while.
My dad went to Rogers high school with Gailord although my dad was a couple of years ahead of him. I remember as a 14 year old going to Skelly Stadium watching my brother's soccer team in a tournament seeing him on one of the outside concourses filming his daughter playing (at the time he had a pretty snazzy new Sony camcorder). He was very cordial to me and asked what I was doing and told him. We talked a little about Tulsa and our love of the city. Left an impression on me. My dad also told me he was acquaintances with Gary Busey (Busey went to Hale) although that's obviously never been verified.

Development & New Businesses / Re: Rumored Facebook AI center
Last post by Red Arrow - December 29, 2025, 10:24:55 PMQuote from: patric on December 29, 2025, 08:26:29 PMWhat if it turns out we are building data centers for no one?
Venture capitalist Alex Davis is "deeply concerned" that too many data centers are being built without guaranteed tenants, according to a letter being sent this morning to his investors. This critique is coming from inside the AI optimist camp.
"The 'build it and they will come' strategy is a trap. He adds that data center buildouts will put too much "stress on the system."
The bottom line: Data centers are becoming political flashpoints, primarily because of their impact on electricity prices.

My electric and gas bills are bad enough considering the storm recovery fees. Don't want a data center fee on top of the rest.

Fact checkers will have a field-day with El Presidente's speech tonight (17Dec2025).
You mean the Airing of Grievances last night? It was a Festivus miracle!

Other Tulsa Discussion / Re: Another Police Helicopter
Last post by patric - December 18, 2025, 09:52:05 AMThe Senate moved quickly Wednesday afternoon to close a loophole that could allow military aircraft to fly without broadcasting their locations just like an Army helicopter was doing last January before it collided with an airliner over Washington, D.C., killing 67 people.
Just hours after passing a massive defense bill that included the worrisome provisions about military flights, the Senate approved a bipartisan bill that will require all aircraft use ADS-B technology — or Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast technology — to broadcast their locations.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said that "tragedy could have been avoided" if the Army Black Hawk had been using its ADS-B system to broadcast its location before the crash.
The bill also requires a review of safety at airports across the country to ensure they don't face the same hazards that contributed to the crash at Reagan Airport. And the military and FAA will have to share safety data more freely.
