Is it the urban housing on the rise in Bricktown?
I have a few politically correct issues with such a headline, but oh well...

Great job, Kim!! Thanks for doing what you do to promote downtown Oklahoma City. Some great things are happening and for someone who watched a dead downtown for years - it's all exciting.
Spartan, Is it the "downtown" versus "urban" thing? I wasn't sure what you meant.

No, it's everytime any downtown development is called Bricktown development. Same goes for when Kelly Ogle called The Centennial a Bricktown high-rise. The thing is not even a mid-rise...

A friend recently mentioned the "botanical gardens in bricktown" and I had to correct her and remind her that Bricktown is east of the tracks, that she was thinking of downtown.
That is weird. The actual piece was pretty accurate about the location of these developments, but as it clearly shows there is only 1 4-plex in development in bricktown. The Centennial (which seems to get a disproportionate amount of coverage these days) is the closest in lower Bricktown.
As usual with the Oklahoman/News 9, it's hard to tell if that headline is assuming ignorance of the viewers or if they truly are ignorant themselves. I know that if I didn’t read this board it would be pretty misleading.
Anyway, it was a decent piece highlighting some good things coming up in the city's future.

Well I think most people would lump LB into "Bricktown" as a whole, but obviously all the other DT projects can in now way be considered Bricktown.
have you watched the news lately
Honestly, no. I can't stand to watch local news. I always feel dumber afterwards.
