This has probably been covered in older posts, but I am new to the forums. Could anyone point me in the direction of older, pre-MAPS Bricktown pictures? I was talking with a family at church who just moved to OKC about what Bricktown used to look like. Also, are there any circa 1980s general downtown pics (after "Urban Renewal" but before MAPS)? Thanks so much! I'm enjoying the forums.

Don't forget the collection at www.retrometrookc.org!

And I just returned to the library the other day Steve's excellent pictorial on Bricktown.

Also, OKC: Second Time Around is loaded with these pictures.

This is my favorite Bricktown before-after photo:
