Total cost for the pedestrian bridge was $5.8 million, which does not seem too high for the complexity and the amount of steel used. At night, it is lit up for many to enjoy and it. The bridge was inspired by Oklahoma's state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher.

The Uptown neighbourhood is really great and rivals Plaza in some ways (not others) as the coolest neighbourhood in town. You have Tucker's Onion Burgers (my fave location) which are delicious - and then right next door you have a bunch of some of the best Chinatown stuff you can imagine in such a small City like Oklahoma City. Chinatown is technically separate from Uptown, but they're neighbours, so it works out. The Chinatown here is really growing and is surprisingly awesome. Try Quoc Bao for Banh Mi sandwiches, and the smoothies (Honeydew, Berry, Taro Coconut, Mocha) at Bambu. Now if you'll excuse me I have to hang out with Alexa Rae Joel.

This rusted fire escape is suspended between two buildings in Midtown Oklahoma City. It was salvaged from a nearby hotel and is named after the double helix of DNA that it sort of resembles. The fire escape, which originally stretched from the third floor into the basement of the hotel, was removed via crane during the renovations. After one of the building's owners saw it suspended in midair during the moving process, it was decided to preserve the spiraling structure and give it a new home in the sky above a nearby courtyard.

The Black Scintilla has the cutest clothes at very affordable prices, and who ever complains about a deal on trendy pieces? Rachel & Chris were incredible - they were so great to us and offered styling tips and other items to go with the pieces we were interested in. I had a really great experience here and couldn't wait to come back to pick up the skirt I purchased the night of the event. You know what that means? Rachel offers free hemming so you (and even a 5 foot tall female like me) can always fit into the clothes you're buying!! There was nothing I could have loved more from this event.
