"I doubt that the Bricktown merchants really want Mr. Perkins’ business, given his admittedly meager budget. His comment though, is indicative of the “parking entitlement” most Oklahomans seem to think is enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Why should I be able to park on prime real estate without paying? Sorry - that’s a tangent. It’s a moot point because Harkins Theaters provides quite a lot of FREE parking.

Now, to walking. As Americans, walking is almost blasphemous, except in certain circumstances, when, I guess, we’re not supposed to notice. To illustrate how absurd the complaints are about Bricktown, I’ve taken some Google Satellite Maps shots all at the same zoom level to illustrate that these complaints don’t really measure up. But perception might as well be reality."

Dan proceeds to present some very compelling arguments against this perception, comparing park and walk distances at the city’s two most popular malls to parking at Bricktown. Quite honestly, I think he’s got a point. Read more at Dan's blog."
