Downtown Olympic Signs

August 6, 2009

Tulsa’s 2020 Committee wants to make a bid to host the 2020 summer Olympics.  According to the committee, we would need 40,000 hotel rooms and a stadium built for 80,000.  That is more than quadruple what the BOK Center holds.

Another concern no one has mentioned is changing our Downtown signs.  Through space-age technology, I have created computer renditions of what our future Downtown signs may look like.  Warning, in additional to Olympic events, building names may change, there could be a new asylum or Turley may extend south to Admiral.  These are only possibilities.

Let us look at Downtown Olympic Signs.

    I am waiting for Professor Harold Hill to show up and flim flam us Zekes into building(and voting to raise the sales tax!)on all this and a boy’s band. Wait, we already have Hanson. Of course Cathy Taylor would play the young and sassy Miss Shirley Jones.

    Thanks. Now every time I see the BOK center I will have to think of Biker Fox.

    The best part of the proposal is using Mohawk Park. “Hello International Community, welcome to Tulsa. To your right, you’ll see the crime-ravaged neighborhoods of North Tulsa.”

      OSU-Tulsa is north of that sign. The hidden joke is North Tulsa becomes South Turley. As in a possible de-annexation.

    Do you think they would include Noodling as a sport?
