Oklahoma

got a whiff of reality and decided to sell them for what they're actually worth, not what they think (in their wildest dreams) they're worth. Downtown development would really boom if this happened.

I've heard of out of state investors making offers on a few of these derelict, code violating structures, but the idiot owners won't sell them for what they're worth, they want to just keep holding onto them in the hope that they'll be worth a fortune.

I really wish the city would up its code inspections and force the owners (one in particular owns quite a few) to bring them up to code. They aren't doing any repairs to keep taxes low, so they just sit and rot, and become an eye sore.

People from out of town visiting Tulsa for the first time are usually surprised. Tulsa ranks third in the nation from what I understand for surviving Art Deco architecture, behind New York City and Miami Beach.

It's nice to see some positive press about the city.
