A
Hello
there
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
magazine,
I'm
Mick
Cornett,
and
this
is
our
program
for
July
2017,
thanks
for
joining
us
in
this
first
segment,
we're
going
to
talk
to
Gary
Brooks
now
Gary,
as
you
may
know,
is
working
on
a
huge
development.
Downtown
he's
taken
on
the
first
national
center
in
this
intent
is
to
turn
that
into
it's
a
return
to
its
glory,
but
in
some
ways
bigger
and
better
than
it
was
ever
built
to
be
originally
Gary.
Welcome
to
the
show.
A
A
B
Wake
yourself
up
first,
then,
first
national
can
be
overwhelming,
and
so
you
try
not
to
get
too
focused
on
the
big
picture.
You
just
take
it
a
step
at
a
time,
and
the
first
thing
you
do
is
put
your
team
together.
I
can't
pull
something
like
this
off
without
a
hundred
and
forty
seven
people
that
that
I
go
out
hand
pick
and
found.
So
that's
first
thing:
we
did.
We
just
built
the
right
team
and
started
momentum
and
we're
18
months
into
the
due
diligence
and
the
acquisitions.
B
A
B
Everyone
knows
about
the
Great
Hall,
occasionally
I'll
or
someone
who's
never
been
in
and
I
like
to
see
their
expression.
The
first
time
they
look
up
and
see
the
Hall.
The
biggest
surprise
is
the
vault.
Even
people
that
may
have
office
in
that
building
for
25
years
have
never
been
in
the
vault
and
the
vault
seems
to
be
the
one
thing
when
people
see
it,
but
it's
so
unique.
It's
something
they've
never
seen
before,
and
we
begin
to
talk
about
the
restaurant
down
there
and
and
the
experiences
it
will
create.
B
B
B
Barber
shops
on
the
14th
floor,
which
is
going
to
be
a
resident
amenity
floor
and
I
had
enough
people
tell
me
that
there's
some
stories
that
came
out
of
that
barber
shop
we're
pretty
impressive.
Mr.
Gaylord
apparently
used
to
have
a
standing
appointment.
Every
3:30
3:30
on
Friday
and
the
stories
I
began
to
hear
got
my
attention.
There's
three
old
barber
chairs
in
there
that
are
spectacular.
So
we're
going
to
recreate
that
barber
shop
with
those
three
chairs
exactly
in
its
formats
and
now
move
it
to
the
first
floor.
B
The
hotel
guests
will
enter
a
course
on
the
west
side.
The
lobby
there,
but
they'll
quickly
work
their
way
up
through
either
a
concierge
to
the
second
level,
which
will
be
the
Great
Hall.
The
Great
Hall
is
programmed
in
and
of
ways
it's
a
big
public
space.
We
want
to
recreate
that
for
a
great
public
space.
It's
your
hotel
lobby.
If
you're
a
hotel
guests
will
have
a
restaurant,
there
will
have
a
bar.
There
will
create
a
museum
on
the
northwest
corner
of
the
Great
Hall
and.
A
B
B
We
got
a
lot
of
good
projects
and
things
are
going
well,
so
why
take
it
on
once?
They
realize
that
I
was
serious.
Then
they
all
began.
Very
supportive.
We've
had
incredible
support
from
your
staff
from
just
the
general
population,
we're
having
a
big
open
house
coming
up
this
week
and
just
two
people
want
to
get
in
and
see
the
building.
So
once
they
realize
I
was
serious.
They
got
behind
me
pretty
well
when.
A
You
start
looking
at
what
this
generation
has
been
able
to.
You
know
kind
of
turn
around.
You
can
look
at
brick,
town
and
those
old
abandoned
warehouse
districts
and
see
how
they've
been
transformed.
There's
the
Colcord
hotel,
which
was
was
turned
around
you
know
about
ten
years
ago,
and
then
of
course,
there's
the
Skirvin
hotel,
which
at
the
time
seemed
like.
A
You
know
the
most
important
thing
on
our
landscape,
but
then
there
was
the
first
national
which
seemed
to
have
not
just
you
know
the
the
the
puzzle
of
what
to
do
with
it,
but
also
some
intricate
problems
like
parking
and
and
asbestos
and
other
things
that
just
come
with
a
you
know
with
an
80
year
old
building.
So
I
assume
that
some
of
the
hurdles
that
the
others
had
seen
and
just
said,
you
know,
there's
got
to
be
another
project.
For
me,
the.
B
Journey
seemed
too
hard
for
most
people,
like
one
of
my
close
developer.
Friends
said:
let's
just
don't
get
emotional
about
it
and
that's
the
general
reaction
as
a
developer.
You
don't
ever
want
to
let
your
emotions
and
I
told
him
I
said
emotions.
The
only
thing
that
will
carry
me
through
at
coordinates.
So
you
know,
if
you
don't
get
emotional
about
it,
you
won't.
You
won't
ever
want
to
take
on
the
challenge.
Well,.
B
You
might
I
try
to
update
people
on
my
Twitter
account:
okay
at
Gary,
D
Brooks,
just
people
started
asking
me,
questions,
send
me
pictures
and
so
I
was
able
to
start
kind
of
keeping
people
up
to
date.
With
that
I
think
there
will
be
enough.
Things
happen
over
the
next
three
years
that
we
want
to
try
to
make
this
Oklahoma
City's
building
and
we
want
people
to
feel
engaged
we'll
be
posting
on.
B
My
Twitter
account
pretty
quick,
a
website
that
people
can
go
to
because
we
want
them
to
share
their
stories
right,
like
almost
everyone
you
take
in,
there
has
a
story.
If
mom
worked
there,
the
dad
worked
there,
they
worked
there,
and
so
we
want
to
collect
as
many
of
those
stories
as
we
can
for
people
in
Oklahoma
City
about
the
building
and
somehow
weave
that
into
the
fabric
of
the
redevelopment.
All.
A
Right,
Gary
thanks
thanks
for
taking
this
on,
we
look
forward
to
the
continued
updates,
so
send
your
stories
in
to
Gary.
Brooks
tell
him
about
memories
that
you
have
of
the
first
national
building
and
cheer
him
on
as
he
attempts
to
bring
that
building
back
to
its
former
glory.
We'll
have
more
on
the
mayor's
magazine
right
after
this
coach.
D
Switzer
here
to
help
you
put
the
Blitz
on
mosquito-borne
diseases.
This
is
something
my
family
knows
a
lot
about.
My
son
Doug
got
West
Nile
virus
and
it's
not
easy
to
beat
here's.

A
E
E
A
Domestic
violence
is
such
a
tough
issue
because
a
lot
of
times
women
don't
know
where
to
start
they're
overwhelmed.
They
don't
know
what
the
repercussions
are
going
to
be
from
calling
the
police
or
or
or
taking
the
next
step,
especially
when
there
are
kids
involved
in
church
I
know.
This
is
one
area
that
you've
really
found
close
to
your
heart,
I
sure.
G
F
F
So
what
would
take
seven
weeks
to
coordinate
someone
to
meet
with
a
civil
attorney,
detective
therapist
and
those
three?
Never
ever
connecting
the
dots
with
Department
of
Human
Services?
We
have
the
children
and
we
have
elder
abuse
care
in
there
for
all
of
them.
They
are
meeting
now
within
seven
minutes
and
they
can
meet
with
that
client
and
they
can
continue
the
conversation
and
the
job
satisfaction.
F
Each
one
has
validated
each
other's
profession
because
now
they
understand
more
of
what
it's
not
just.
A
detective
has
filed
a
report
and
hands
off
the
paper.
They
are
now
working
together
and
they
come
up
with
better
ways
to
wrap
around
that
individual
and
direct
services.
So
the
change
not
only
in
job
satisfaction
and
an
efficiency
of
service.
It
is
really
exciting
to
see
that
in
only
three
or
four
months,
the
change
with
the
employees
and
with
the
clients
coming
through
Kim.
E
I
think
they
all
have
something
unique
and
special
that
they
can
bring
to
the
table.
I
know
some
of
the
most
highly
utilized
services
are
the
YWCA,
their
advocacy
programming
and
also
legal
aid
with
civil
civil
legal
attorneys.
They
are
probably
the
most
sought
of
their
resources.
Also
OCPD
detectives
are
used
quite
a
bit.
A
E
I'm,
a
licensed
master
social
worker
I'm
nationally
certified
advocate
I've,
worked
in
the
field
for
15
years,
I
started
Victim
Services,
Oklahoma,
City,
Police
Department.
That's
what
made
me
realize.
We've
got
great
services
that
what
we
do
is
hand
brochures
to
people
when
they're
hurting
and
they're
in
crisis,
and
we
expect
them
to
go
from
agency
to
agency
and
they
give
up
and
they
get
overwhelmed
understandably,
and
so
that
was
why
we
did
the
coordinated
response,
and
so
it's
just
my
passion
like
I
love,
working
with
families
and
seeing
this
collaboration.
It's
it's
amazing.
So.
F
From
a
number
of
angles
that
when
I
was
in
college,
I
wrote
my
senior
thesis
on
if
victims
of
domestic
violence
for
being
as
abused
when
they
entered
the
system.
So
it
was
amazing
that
25,
10
years
later,
some
of
the
same
problems
of
that
was
in
a
different
state,
still
existed
when
I
was
in
college,
I
mean
law,
school
I,
specialize
in
child
abuse
and
neglect
and
worked
a
lot
with
the
juvenile
Center
and
realized
that
a
lot
of
those
things
hadn't
changed
either
and
in
between.
F
As
you
know,
I've
served
on
been
very
blessed
to
serve
on
a
number
of
different
organizations
and
and
serve
on
private
foundations
as
well,
and
so
watching
how
different
groups
work
together.
That
I
think
that
the
timing
was
right
and
I'm
very,
very
proud
to
see
the
stepping
stones.
That
led
me
all
those
experiences
to
be
here.
How.
E
F
Lot
of
the
ways
people
can
get
involved
is
just
by
talking
about
it.
People
don't
necessarily
know
that
they're
in
a
crisis
or
that
their
life
could
be
any
different,
but
the
more
I
noticed
that
we've
talked
about,
and
we
provide
lots
of
tours
that
those
tours
have
spun.
Often
people
have
brought
in
their
employees,
they
brought
in
their
neighbors
they've
brought
in
their
friends
they've
seen
like
when
we
did
the
show
before,
and
they
remember
it
and
they
bring
in
their
children.
F
H
Adam
bark
we're
not
just
stops
on
a
map
or
collection
of
random
people.
We
are
a
community
connected,
since
I
usually
don't
get
all
still
around
eleven
out
of
this
late
night
route
is
really
a
stress
reliever.
For
me,
our
choices
on
where
to
live,
work,
learn
meet
and
play
grow
with
the
connections
we
create
and
with
strong
connections,
come
economic
opportunities
and
vibrant
communities
where
public
transit
goes
community
grows
plan.
Your
journey,
adam
bark,
okay,
calm,
welcome,.
A
G
A
D
I
Right,
but
now
I
tell
you
what
I
really
learned
is
people
in
the
restaurant
industry
in
this
in
this
city
are
a
huge
part
of
the
foundation
of
what
it
is
today
and
what
has
become
and
they're
among
the
hardest
working
people
that
you
can
imagine
I
mean
these
are.
These
are
folks
that,
in
a
lot
of
cases,
were
just
looking
for
something
to
do
some
way
to
survive
and
found
a
way
found
a
system
of
their
own
that
they
could
create
and
make
it
work
for
decades.
In
many
cases,
I'm.
A
I
I
Yeah
there's
so
many
the
last
of
our
drive-ins
close
the
original
drive-ins
closed,
but
they're
still
a
handful.
You
know,
Jim
Mills
are
still
around
Cattlemen's,
of
course,
is
still
around
there's
plenty
of
old
time
places
to
check
out.
You
know
for
those
that
that
are
interested-
and
you
know
that's
something
too.
I've
talked
to
some
of
the
people
who
own
some
of
those
places,
and
we've
got
some
events
in
mind
in
the
next
year
to
bring
back
some
of
those
old
foods
and
in
an
event,
atmosphere.
Well,.
A
I
I
Well,
there
were
so
much
money
and,
as
you
learned
when
you
cover
restaurants,
are
very
long,
is
a
lot
of
cash,
that's
moving
hands,
and
so
that
just
helps
that
industry
I
mean
they
built
up
and
they
got
really
big
really
fast,
and
then
they
collapsed
really
fast
and
that
also
opened
us
up
to
a
lot
of
a
chain.
Restaurants
moving
in
at
that
time.
I
Bishops
would
have
been
one
of
the
first
choices.
There
was
originally
out
of
Tulsa,
but
they
ended
up
lasting
here
in
the
city
longer
than
the
original
didn't,
and
it
was
a
it
was
pancakes,
but
it
also
had
sort
of
a
back
room.
You
know
from
something
a
lord
nicer.
They
all
had
those
back,
then
that
would
have
definitely
been
one
of
them,
but
you
probably
would
have
eaten
in
a
cafeteria
like
an
imam.
I
I
I
I
Which
I
can
still
get
a
big
bed
burger
at
Beverly's
and
you
can
still
get
the
chicken
in
the
rough,
so
those
things
are
still
with
us
yeah,
but
chocolate
icebox
pie
from
the
patio.
You
probably
can't
get
anyone
in
all
the
great
pies
from
all
the
different
cafeterias
that
we
had.
That's
probably
the
thing
I
miss
the
most
when,
when
the
boulevard
closes
all
that
great
guy,
what.
I
Waffles
were
really
the
first
big
thing
in
restaurants
in
Oklahoma.
That's
the
thing
I
found
in
my
research
bishop's
was
actually
a
chain
that
started
in
Tulsa
and
reached
all
the
way
to
New
Mexico
and
the
one
here
just
happened
to
get
bigger
and
stronger
than
a
lot
of
them
and
Beverly's
was
originally
Osborn's
waffle
shop,
a
tiny
little
place,
we're
kind
of
over
behind
the
Colcord,
where
the
Colcord
is
right
now
and
he
had.
I
He
actually
opened
eight
more
seven
more
within
about
six
years
before
the
Depression
hit
and
that
really
sunk
him
and
he
got
lucky
with
the
idea
for
the
chicken
in
the
rough
right
around
the
time
that
he
was
closing
all
his
restaurants.
He
had
one
left
and
that
would
be
converted
into
first
Beverley's.
All.
A
A
J
Country,
yes,
con
free.
Yes,
it's
the
harmonious
marriage
of
free
and
convenient,
and
it's

A
K
I
got
a
call
from
the
White
House
and
the
Education
Department
in
the
State
Department
to
help
women
entrepreneurs
in
Afghanistan,
and
that
has
blossomed
into
Africa.
Now
Rwanda
and
we
have
been
educating
women
on
the
ground
in
Afghanistan
and
Rwanda
and
bringing
them
here
to
the
United
States
for
additional
education,
mentoring
and
training
for
11
years.
Well,.
L
Bank
of
America
is
focus
right
now
is
responsible
growth,
and
that
can
be
a
number
of
different
facets,
and
when
we
learned
about
the
work
that
the
Institute
for
economic
empowerment
of
women
was,
you
know
what
their
focus
was.
What
Terri
and
the
success
rate
that
that
the
group
was
having,
we
felt
like
that.
That
would
be
a
good
place
to
support
and
to
invest
some
dollars
and
not
only
financial
support,
but
also
to
garner
some
volunteers
and
some
other
types
of
resources
that
we
feel
like
will
benefit
them.
Tara.
K
Have
a
woman
from
Afghanistan
who
is
actually
in
our
first
class
in
2007,
who
had
24
employees
who
set
cross-legged
on
the
floor,
hand-sewing
soccer
ball.
I
wish
I'd
have
brought
that
for
a
visual
today
and
today,
11
years
later,
10
years
later,
she
has
almost
400
employees,
she's
exporting
soccer
balls
to
Germany,
and
she
is
just
a
firecracker.
She
is
on
fire,
doing
tremendous
work
in
Afghanistan.
You
know,
and
we
have.
K
We
have
clothing
designs,
that
designers
in
Ronda
it's
actually
pronounced
Ronda
and
not
Rwanda
rules,
and
she
was
on
Forbes
magazine
cover
and
the
covers
of
several
magazines
as
Entrepreneur
of
the
year.
Just
incredible
stories,
and
recently
the
President
of
Afghanistan
has
sanctioned
a
women's
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
our
leader
is
running
that
chamber.
Tony.
A
L
Our
role
is
actually
not
for
financing
some
of
these
entrepreneurs
there's
some
other
organizations
that
we
work
with
Tory
Burch.
She
focuses
on
more
domestic
opportunities
to
finance
women
entrepreneurs,
but
what
we
do
is
to
do
part
of
the
education
and
to
also
you
know,
provide
as
I
mentioned
human
resources
to
help
out
I.
Think
what's
incredible
about
iew.
Is
you
know
the
stats
for
small
business
owners
in
the
United
States?
K
K
A
L
K
K
A
K
Got
an
event
coming
up:
July
18
and
the
women
will
be
in
town.
So
if
people
want
to
come
out
and
learn
the
culture
of
Afghanistan
and
Rwanda
and
meet
these
women
from
from
those
countries
who
are
here
getting
more
education
and
mentorship,
we
have
in
her
art
fashion,
extravaganza
I,
call
it
OSU,
Design
and
Merchandising.
The
College
of
oh
s,
you
design
and
merchandises,
are
actually
designing
the
clothes
that
will
be
worn.
That
night
and
I
understand
they're
really
going
to
do
some
exciting
things
like
keeping
lights
on.
K
A
A
good
excuse
to
come
down
to
the
21c

you've
not
seen
it
since
its
opened
a
year
ago
and
and
help
out
