The bridge was inspired by Oklahoma's state bird, the scissor-tailed flycatcher.

But yes, an interesting piece of public art that was very unexpected driving on interstate 40!!

Restaurants lined up along the water, string lights, outdoor patios facing the canal, and a walkway that lets you stroll easily from one spot to the next. It's a walkable area with plenty of places to eat, but it definitely leans more toward dining and entertainment rather than shopping. I was hoping there would be a few shops to pop into along the walk but I didn't see any. There is a mini golf course. A few restaurants you'll find at the canal are Bourbon Street Café, Jazmo'z Bourbon St. Cafe and Tipsy Tiki. It is close to some popular attractions such as the Paycom Center, Bricktown Ballpark, The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, Myriad Botanical Gardens, Scissortail Park. Hotels are nearby as well. Some popular options are Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, Hyatt Place. Overall, Bricktown is a vibrant district with great canal views, plenty of dining options, and easy access to major OKC attractions.

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.

@OKGazette Halloween Parade is one of my favorite local events, and I've been both a spectator and…read morea participant. From a spectator standpoint, it is a fun night out, doing something totally different than you normally get to do. The floats are all really well-done, and the personalities of the groups shine through the costumes and makeup. As a participant this year, I got to see some of the behind the scenes of a very well-organized event. How you successfully wrangle that many individual groups with participants totaling into the thousands, I'll never understand. The provided a form that had to be filled out several weeks in advance, with all of our information, and that was the script the Emcees read. (The Emcees were great and their costumes were killer). They sent out a really comprehensive packet of information ahead of time, and then held an informational meeting for participants. By the time the parade arrived we still had any questions, that's our fault! I highly recommend this excellent event every year and hope it is part of the landscape for years to come.

Although I have never particpated, it is a sight to behold. The costumes, floats and genral craziness are a great departure from the everyday humdrum of OKC life. This year I got to experience it from a whole new (and what will likely be a great venue to come) perspective. The parade route was changed and it now goes mostly down the newest area of OKC to go under urban renewal - Midtown. I was fortunate enought to attend the "Cat On A Hot 10 Roof" Halloween Party in the old Packard Building (on NW 10th and Robinson). Yelpers take note...this will be one of OKCs newest rooftop bars when it fully opens, I believe they are going to just call it 10 Roof. It is a part of the new restaurant being built below it - Packard's New American Kitchen, at least that is the tentative name. Owned by the people responsible for the Interurban chain this will be a departure from their traditional burgers and beer menu and offer unique and different offerings from which they catered the Halloween party. I don't yet believe they've decided on a full menu but the bottom restaurant is ultra modern looking and the rooftop deck is divine and will not only be a place to watch the Halloween Parade but no doubt a destination on the rise. I will be glad when it finally opens and appears on yelp to be reviewed thoroughly but just a heads up - this will be another fantastic location in Midtown.

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.

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.
