Court of Civil Appeals of Oklahoma March 9, 1976, No. 47519 (Skinner v. Gilcrease Hills Development Corp.)

BRIGHTMIRE, Judge.

Until November 1970 Mr. and Mrs. Skinner’s home northwest of Tulsa, Oklahoma was bounded on the north by Johnson Street and a nearly level stretch of scrub-oak-laced grassland as far northward as the eye could see. Then one day big, earthmoving machines began to cut Johnson Street away. They blasted, cut and dozed until at last the street was gone. In its place was nothing.
