Tulsa World Publishing Co. - Downtown Improvements
We are citizens of a county that voted for Vision 2025 and who care about Tulsa's future. We wholeheartedly support the vision of a revitalized Downtown Tulsa.
We read with concern that you intend to demolish the Skelly and Froug's buildings. We the tax payers are now spending over $4 million to renovate Main Mall to be a more attractive street, spurring a downtown renaissance. Your plans to build yet another parking lot downtown and a HVAC plant on our newly renovated Main Street appear strikingly inconsistent with the city's significant downtown expenditures and with the goals of Vision 2025.
We are therefore requesting a meeting between you and members of the Tulsa Area Preservation Society to better understand your reasoning and plans. Our intention is to find a solution both beneficial to you and to the revitalization of Downtown Tulsa.

Our city has also destroyed much of it's archtectural gems to make way for "progress". We're living to regret it! Save Tulsa history!

What a joke to replace a historic building with a parking lot. Save this building!

Historic buildings are important to a city's downtown image. Please reconsider the options for the buildings, as to build a surface parking lot in their place would mean a great loss for the city.

I am a subscriber to The World and I think it is a disgrace that the paper wholeheartedly endorsed Vision2025 and then turn around and demolish a historic downtown building for a parking lot. As far as I am concerned, the pap

American cities have done way too much demolishing historic buildings and replacing them with parking lots.

This beautiful building should DEFINITLY not be demolished ESPECIALLY for a surface lot that is rediculous. If you are to tear town a building alteast replace it with another building.

I am from Orlando, FL and was born in Tulsa, and i am appalled that a city as old as Tulsa, would allow the destruction of a great piece of its own history and I believe this building should be preserved for future generations
