Devon Energy to construct tallest building in OKC

Oklahoma City will soon have another skyscraper. It will be home to Devon Energy. The company plans to constuct the tallest building in downtown ~ 925 ft. The 21st tallest in the country. As several people have proudly told me, "taller than anything in Dallas."

This is an artist's rendering of the purposed building.

Get well soon, Edna!

The irrepressible Edna ( owner of Edna's Bar & Grill ) is having surgery on Tuesday, August 19th. Unfortunately, a tumor was discovered in the lower lube of her right lung. After the operation, tests will be done to determine if the mass is cancerous. Edna is expected to be in Presbyterian Hospital for around 10 days.
