I love that Simon came to their senses. Building a shopping center on the mountain was a very stupid idea for a bunch of reasons. Kudos to a lot of people and organizations and especially the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaurbanwildernesscoalition.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition<\/a> for getting this stopped.

Their efforts got a lot more people into the park which made things kind of crowded sometime but I think people realized what a treasure we whad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsaworld.com\/news\/government\/outlet-mall-zoning-plans-scrapped-for-site-near-turkey-mountain\/article_52290c72-2b93-58c5-9992-b6cf2e8b363d.html\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa World Article<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tulsafrontier.com\/developer-scraps-plans-for-outlet-mall-near-turkey-mountain\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tulsa Frontier Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/?s=outlet+mall\" target=\"_blank\">Yogi&#8217;s Den Previous Posts on the Outlet Mall<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/KTUL.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=325457;hostDomain=www.ktul.com;playerWidth=640;playerHeight=400;isShowIcon=true;clipId=11696046;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=fixed\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><a title=\"KTUL.com - Tulsa, Oklahoma - News, Weather \" href=\"http:\/\/www.ktul.com\">KTUL.com &#8211; Tulsa, Oklahoma &#8211; News, Weather <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great news for those of us who love Turkey Mountain.
