[...] Having said that, there are some visual amenities we cherish. We like the bank on Classen and the building T-Mobile leases on NW 23rd, and we totally dig Super Cao Nguyen, the big Asian market with all its colorful fish [...]

City Council voted to close the stores and restaurants in the Conncourse and bring them to street level to show a more revitalizing Downtown OKC. It looked dead to the outside world because everything and everybody was underground.

No car days are a great idea. Here is a video of Mongolia no car days. This is the only through street in Ulaanbaatar. Although not a highway (blame poor planning and infastructure) this would be compared to their I-40. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Iwh4tAjCak

Comment on Good to Bad to Good at the Sieber Hotel by Davis

To answer the question of what the Osler Building use to be prior of purchase in 2006. The Osler building was purchased in 1991 from the FDIC by William and Jeri Davis and brought-up to date remodeling floor by floor for administrative office-use 1st thru 6 floors including new chiller and boiler system. The 7th floor had been approved for remodel of Penthouse in which we finished off and lived for 15 years. We enjoyed living and being landlords with various kinds of tenants which included our own computer business and employees. The building was 95 percent occupied during the bombing of OKC. We took good care of the building and glad to see a good direction for it in the future! We always felt the building was a diamond in the ruff and glad of the memories we had living in such a unique building. Will always miss the “View”. However, we can always return for a visit once the Ambassador Hotel is finished. How exciting!

My favorite video from CicLAvia 2013 is this STOOPIDTALL bike [14 feet high], which barely scrapes under the 405 freeway. Sloooooow-moving adrenaline sluuuush!

We are planning for numerous bike activities here in the California desert this month, National Bike Month. San Francisco just held a bike film festival a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t been back to OKC in seven years and am really looking forward to seeing the new bike facilities in the CBD and other changes when I hit the town this summer.

[...] Steve Lackmeyer is a reporter and columnist for The Oklahoman. He’s the author of three books and he’s part of the inspiration behind Retro Metro OKC. I’ve been following his stories for 20 years, and I’d basically run barefoot across a blistering urban heat island for him. [...]
