Also, free yoga class on Sunday. And don't forget a snow cone when you leave, located in the big metal building. All walking distance. My friends and I visit every weekend for food, yoga and shopping. Cool murals by local artist also displayed. They also feature music and dancing throughout the year. Love this little cool niche. The only downfall is parking, but still not too far to walk if you park in an adjacent street.

It was commissioned by the City of Oklahoma city depicts a bronze man coming out of the ground to about chest high. The man is holding a big cement ball in both hands like a basketball and pushing the ball up two steel rails. Health care consultant Curtis Thomas served as a model for the piece, which is meant to pay homage to the struggles of those original residents of the "Deep Deuce" neighborhood, a thriving African American community, as well as the historic structures themselves; the railroads, loading docks, and post & beam construction of the warehouses. It also rumored to represent civil rights struggles. The piece has been criticized for being too urban. I however, really like the sculpture. It is very detailed. It is almost life-like even though it is a bit larger than scale. It really grabs your attention, even though it is in a little corner along the canal. It is definitely worth a look if you are in the area. Being that this piece is located in Bricktown, there is metered street parking and commercial parking lots within a reasonable walking distance. It is not a destination piece though, nor a large consumer of your time. With that being said, as with most sculptures that I have visited and reviewed, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There are many bars and restaurants in the area.

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.

The Black Scintilla has the cutest clothes at very affordable prices, and who ever complains about a deal on trendy pieces?

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.

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.

It's a little more progressive, the streets are open (people drive more like Texans down here). They have some great hotels (21C is unique and amazing). They have some wonderful restaurants. They have the plaza district, which has a lot of boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, and street art. A lot of walkable spots. I love street art and was impressed at the number and type of murals throughout the city. Their art museum has one of the largest collections of Chihuly glass in the world, and bas some great exhibits. They have the osteology museum, which boasts a large collection of skeletons and skulls. There is the brand new, gorgeously built, well done First Americans Museum. They have a few other smaller museums as well. I wouldn't necessarily haul the family out to OKC on an annual vacation, but it's surprisingly modern and interesting, and worthwhile if you're near or passing through.
