Pics from earlier this week..It was a frigid, windy day..temps in the teens, wind ripping through the streets. Some snow still on the ground from the 14 inches we got two weeks ago. Couldn't take being out in it longer than 30 minutes at a time..but I did manage to get some good pics, despite their generally not being many people out. OKC is really coming together, and there are some shots where you can see new urban districts coming together, others where you can see the potential for the future.

This could almost be a cool street..if it weren't just a parking lot entrance


A very rapidly expanding company..Bricktown is important to their goal of recruiting young college grads.






A great place to eat in Deep Deuce








I love it when buildings with contemporary design merits build off of each other










Not anywhere near Bricktown

There at the end of the street is the old Calvary Baptist Church..Martin Luther King once applied for a job as their pastor but was turned down because he was "too old"..a church in Birmingham instead hired him and the rest is history.
