Will Bricktown recover is the question. The incident started with a dangerous dude - serial killer apparently - spotted by an off-duty OCPD detective in the state’s premier urban entertainment district. Gunfire ensued, then a chase - and now the entire city is on edge because a police dog chased the suspect off the bridge; the bad guy died, but the dog is in critical condition.
The detective in question is being hailed as a hero, but some folks are claiming she’s got a drinking problem and might have been spending the day getting drunk at one of Bricktown’s bars when this fuss started.
Weird thing is, Bricktown Association Director Jim Cowan is actually pretty happy about how many times the district is getting mentioned with all this. Who knows how many got to hear about Bricktown as this was being shown on national television this week….
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the officer in question is named “Grace,” and she’s played by a still hot Holly Hunter on the fictional television show “Saving Grace” on TNT.
Gotchya.

Man! I was sitting there saying ‘What? I don’t remember hearing anything about this on the news!’ Didn’t something regarding a police dog chasing after a convict after he jumped off a bridge happen in real life somewhere in the country within the past 2-3 years? My mind remembers something like this…

Any national exposure for OKC is a plus. Just the fact that a series on TNT HAS a show based on OKC is big for the national spotlight. People across the country are now questioning their previous views about OKC… Well if it’s big and good enough to base a show off maybe I should visit there and see for myself.
