Default memories

Ah OKC. Seeing these pictures brings back good memories. My Dad grew up in OKC and Tulsa (first okc, then moved to tulsa as a young kid, then back to OKC as a teenager) and i had a lot of family in OKC and family friends. I remember going to visit my grandparents and my moms best friend as a kid(my parents as well as my grandparents on my moms side who also were from OKC, moved to fayetteville arkansas where i grew up) I spent a lot of time in both OKC and Tulsa, and always absolutely loved the slow pace and comfortability. There is also this feeling you get in OKC, like you're back in time....it just feels so unique. Also the food! (johnnies anybody!! and of course brownies in tulsa!!) I can't wait until the next chance i get to go to OKC...living in seattle and being kinda hectic all the time with terrible traffic and some degree of crime, makes me miss my family and friends, as well as Oklahoma!!! Hello to everyone in OKC!

Hello to you, A-Team. I visited Seattle a couple of time when our kids lived there. It is such a great city and so beautiful. The traffic was bad there, like most big cities. Hope you can visit soon!

Feeling as if you've "gone back in time" is one of the things I dislike about OKC! Ugh, let's be a bit more progressive! So tired of slow people and rednecks. Sorry, but I am. Did I say that outloud?

I don't understand the "back in time feeling" myself. OKC is very progressive, the country isn't but OKC is, look at downtown!

I agree, Nameless. I live downtown and it does feel like we are making some progress. I was thinking the other day that part of the problem with OKC is that you have this small urban core that turns "country" right outside of this core, way moreso than other cities this size.

Here's a good pic of downtown from that website, although the one building in the foreground needs some serious re-finishing.

Ha, that's true. Looks like that part faces the alley so they don't worry about it! It's interesting to look at the back of that building and you can see how it was constructed. Is that a real brick building, as opposed to brick veneer, I'm wondering?

It could use a mural or something.
