OklahomaCity-Day2

Now this is the part of Oklahoma City that I thought really stood out. The area is called "Bricktown" and it is a part of the old business distirct, full of old businesses and warehouses dating back as far as 1890. This area has been cleaned, preened, and turned into a money makin' machine. To top it off, the city father's put in a canal, boats, walkways, parks, and gardens. Officially it is known as the "Oklahoma City Historic Entertainment District". Call it what you want, it is "the" area to visit in warm weather.

The area contains dozens of restaurants (including a Hooter's), shops (inlcuding a Bass Pro Shop SuperStore), bars and night spots, hotels, and of course, for the ladies, shopping. The Bricktown Baseball Stadium, Cox Convention Center, Coca Cola Events Center, and Ford Center are all within easy walking distance.





We did make one special stop for Sharon. She has an affinity for country music so into Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" we went. Now she stopped for coffee and a look around. This I felt was a totally inappropriate use (the coffee part) of a bar, so I had enough beers for both of us. Never did see Toby....

Remind anyone of the San Antonio Riverwalk?????????
