I was in the area of Meridian and SW 59th today (just north of the airport near Golden Palace) and noticed that the row of new hotels in that area were quite occupied.

Given that it's a weekend I found this surprising, but then again I don't really have a basis for that judgment except for my theory that business traveler hotels are usually only busy during the week.

Anyway, I'm just curious what attraction/event/employer brings people to that area. If it was mid week then I'd assume they were all FAA contractors. Maybe it was all somehow related to school starting up? (Not sure how...just a guess)

I hope these visitors weren't misguided by our many hotels that advertise "close to OU" or "close to Frontier city" when they are on the opposite side of the metro. LOL.


(And let me close by saying that there are plenty of reasons for people to visit our great city. I am just curious what brings them to specific pockets of our city)
