50 Penn Place

[OKCDrummer77]

I think I have only been in 50 Penn twice. Once to pick up some tickets I won on the radio (remember calling in to shows to win tickets?), I think it may have been for an airshow or a concert at Frontier City. What radio station was up there? KRXO? The other time was to buy a book at Full Circle.

I think the galleria shopping concept is just a relic of times past.

It may just be my memory playing games, but is there a pedestrian walkway underneath to Penn Square that was abandoned? Was that just folklore?

The iHeart radio stations (KTOK, 1340 The Game, The Twister, KXY, KJ-103) are on the 11th floor of the office tower. The Oklahoma News Network is on the 12th floor.

Virtually positive that's folklore. A ped bridge would have been a good idea though.

Cannabis processing facility going in on the ground floor -- which is effectively the basement at the west end where this will be located.

Not sure how this is allowed since Epic Charter Schools has a big chunk of space on the 2nd and 3rd levels.

that is a pretty small space ... maybe only office??

Plans show a big vault and a cannabis rolling station.

Epic just has offices there. It's not an in-person school. Still, the concept of a joint-rolling business in 50 Penn Place is somewhat mind boggling.

Someone told me the FBI used to have offices on the top four floors of 50 Penn. So, I looked it up. . .

Yes, my mother briefly worked for an attorney at 50 Penn, and said she recognized some of the agents that walked McVeigh out of that police station originally to bring him to OKC. She also mentioned she accidentally took the elevator to their floor once and was met with a voice on a loudspeaker urging her to get back on the elevator, which she did.

This was the day after the Murrah bombing. I worked for the building management as Marketing Director. The weeks after the bombing were pretty chaotic. Tenants were all freaking out and the FBI was so focused on downtown that they were pretty much non responsive to our concerns as their landlord. When I went to work the day of this story, we all expected extra security but there was none - at least that we were aware of. It was a scary couple of weeks for everyone who worked there. And everyone in OKC.

I did not notice that it was the day after the Murrah bombing. I would've just had my first birthday then. That's insane. I cannot imagine what that would've been like.

makes for a unique OKC "galleria" mall experience.
