View Full Version : Not Nostalgia...If Anything, How Far We've Come OKCisOK4me 02-16-2011, 12:57 PM Aerial view from Feb. 20th, 1995: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r170/OkStateBBall78/download.jpg The whole area seems much bigger since then. I think it's funny that Reno had a kink in it to go over the railroad tracks... MadMonk 02-16-2011, 02:29 PM What area does that photograph cover? silvergrove 02-16-2011, 02:40 PM Get a snapshot of that area with google maps! I was only in 5th grade at the time.. OKCisOK4me 02-16-2011, 05:29 PM What area does that photograph cover? I was hoping to play some 'Where's Waldo' with the image. Silvergrove is right. Google Earth sends out a monthly email letter with a snapshot of some random local place around the world. The photo is of the central and eastern portions of Bricktown. EBAH 02-17-2011, 06:48 AM ppsshh, easy, thats (mainly) NW corner Lincoln and Reno, currently Bass Pro, McDonalds, Hotel, etc. The large block to the west is the Ballpark. It has come a long way, but some of this space is still surprisingly empty. MadMonk 02-17-2011, 07:31 AM No wonder I didn't recognize it! Here's a comparison from Google Maps: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Mad_Monk/Other/BricktownModern.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r170/OkStateBBall78/download.jpg Noah Vail 02-22-2011, 07:55 AM Yep, we've come a long way....wish I could say it a all good. MadMonk 02-22-2011, 09:00 AM Glad I can say that it's mostly good. Noah Vail 02-22-2011, 09:07 AM Glad I can say that it's mostly good. I'll always miss the thriving, vibrant downtown as a shopping mecca and especially during the Xmas season. I'll always miss OKC before white flight. |
