Downtown Living Tour - Part 2

Before I show you the next stop on our downtown living tour, I wanted to add a couple more tidbits to my discussion from the last post. First, reader CGHill (a quite well-known Oklahoma blogger and long-time Oklahoma City resident) pointed out something quite interesting about the Block 42 development:
Did you notice that there are exactly 42 units?
No, I hadn’t noticed that. But, that’s just plain cool! I love it when people go to that much detail when creating something. It shows that there was more thought put into a project than just simply designing a nice building. It’s something I try to do with my creative projects, adding a subtext to the main subject to make it a little more interesting.
Also, in the picture below, sitting high above the Block 42 sign, you’ll see the large penthouse at the top of that section of the development. We were told by one of the tour guides that this unit was bought by a Tulsa businessman, who paid more than $1 million — how much more wasn’t known by that particular guide. It was a secondary home for him. Unfortunately, that penthouse wasn’t available for viewing. Judging from the exterior, the views have to be fantastic, and based on the purchase price, I’m betting that it’s decked out pretty nicely as well.
Incidently, in this picture you can see the penthouse that we did tour and that I highlighted in the last post. It sits at the top of the rectangular section in the corner of the development (left of center in the photo) that stands taller than the other units on either side of it.
Now, continuing on our tour Continued
