The fact remains that Claremore traded a useful, well located, historic, albeit not so attractive building, for a metal building on already city owned property and a parking lot. And sure RCB is looking after their best interests as do all successful businesses, but as we see here; their fortune is not always in the community’s best interests. It should be. This is especially true, since they schemed (thanks Kenny) to get their way after being legitimately turned down. I believe that RCB should have had higher standards. When they updated their building east from the Old Armory, they used bricks for their walls not metal. Again a 100K investment by them to modernize the Old Armory would be in-line with what they should have done. Let’s not forget that RCB has two sets of drive-in bank teller areas, if they needed more parking places they could have easily rid themselves of the one just north and east of the armory. They could have put in a modern multi-story parking garage in that space.

Oh well, hopefully the city council learned something, but I doubt it.

More discussion here

About the way our dear city is ran, I was told that the dept. heads have to be within a certain distance from city limits (they have to be real close) incase they have an emergency, I "think" that was implimated by some of top city officials. The thing is, some or several of these city officials don't live in the city limits or even in this county, I guess the old saying isn't true, what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander, either that or they are too important. I really shouldn't complain about anything since I live in the thriving community of Inola. On my suspicion's about the armory I can't believe that someone from the city didn't know what was going to happen, and maybe instead of putting up a building maybe they could have.............ah........put some money back for harder times or even maybe hire a few firemen back, but what do I know, I'm just a pin head.
