What would you do to BT?

[Nabber]

What someone really wants a mime in brick town. It is a fun art form but how would a mime exist in brick town except for the fun of it and giving up hers/his weekends?
But yeah more street entertainers would be sweet, there is like what 5-7 active ones?
I like what chuck diesel has in mind,
besides if you get plenty of humans in brick town it will slowly attract more street entertainers.

Yours in wondering

I think we need a Rickshaw system for Bricktown.

Besides fixing the parking situations, it would accomplish a number of other things for OKC:

It would bring more tourists and business travelers to Bricktown from the local hotels.

It would help more Oklahoma City residents reach Mayor Mick Cornett's Weight loss goal for the city.

It would give those individuals who normally can't visit Bricktown due to economic contraints the ability to enjoy the area while providing a service to those who routinely spend lots of time/money supporting Bricktown businesses.

It would add to the atmosphere I think we're all trying to establish in Bricktown.

Maybe in the winter the rickshaws could be replaced by Sedan chairs to protect visitors from the elements.

We had those at one time about a year ago (we called them pedi-taxi's), but I haven't seen them lately so that company may not be around anymore.

I saw a couple of the Pedi-cabs the night of the Dave Matthews concert, transporting people around Bricktown.

We did? I can't believe I missed that. I wonder what happened, it seems like a company could make a huge amount of money doing this in Bricktown.

I'm pretty sure they are still around.

Brickshaw Buggy - A Memorable Bricktown Experience

Extend the canal to the south and west to the old cotton mill site and build a small lake with a boardwalk around it to house restaurants like Dave and Busters, or Dicks Last Resort. Maybe a small ampitheatre for laocal bands along the canal or lakeside.

Beach Volleyball complex

Small to midsize stadium to host high school playoffs, soccer tourneys, etc. About 20-25 thousand seats. Anyone seen Taft lately? Is that the best we have to offer?

An observation tower

Somethng for the kids and tourists along the lines of Great Wold Lodge. That would fit in real well in B-town

Fill in the lower floors along the upper canal with small retail or professional offices. This area has been vacant since day 1.

I like the idea of extending the canal and building a small lake/large pond that others have proposed. Would it be possible to extend it to the future park in C2S and end in a small lake there.

I just noticed I mispelled Great Wolf Lodge earlier.

Indoor Waterpark Resort - Family Vacations at Indoor Water Parks - Great Wolf Lodge

My bad. Rather than editing that post I thought I'd ask everyone what you think the chances of us getting one of these in lower or East bricktown. An indoor waterpark would be a GREAT draw in the winter. Think of all the parents who could feel safe leaving their kids there while they go to a basketball or baseball game, or even out to a quiet dinner . And its design isn't anymore "unbricktown" than Bass Pro.

[jbrown84]

We need to fill in all the holes of the existing Bricktown (upper & lower) before we expand it significantly. The boardwalk should go on the river somewhere.

in bricktown . . . .
I got patted down by a "really stupid idiot" cop during the winter, he saw me put my cell phone in my coat then he jumped out of his car and yelled hold it -- patted me down then said "i thought i saw you put a beer in your coat" -- never apologized . . . so I was thinking, thank god these guys are out here to bust people with open containers.

Norman ONLY allows open containers on game days . . .

Not true unless they've changed the law in the past few years, which I hadn't heard of....from the horse's mouth I was told low-point beverages are allowed out and about in Norman.
