[mranderson]

Can you say... East? I also agree the bridges could use a "make over."

[El Gato Pollo Loco!!!]

Another thing I've never understood was where are the suburbs?????? I mean other than a small little sign her or there, I can't tell!

[okcpulse]

Bridges over the river are ugly. Plain ugly.

[MasterWolf]

I think all bridges in this city are ugly.

[El Gato Pollo Loco!!!]

Bridges? they have those????

[Luke]

Here is a simple solution (at least at night) for the ugly bridges over the Oklahoma River:

Very nice!

Again, a little landscaping, or even a little more architecture on our bridges could help as well.

I think the drawings for the new I-40 crosstown bridges were pleasant to the eyes.

Not sure if this is universal... but why do Asian restaurants in this city use such crappy ingredients!? It's to the point where I really have to pick and choose my Asian restaurants because many insist in the cheapest possible ingredients.

If I don't know what part of the animal the food came from, I'm not eating it.

[Patrick]

Found any dog meat in that Asian food?

Anyways, why is it we have so many chain restaurants in this town? We need more local restaurants. That's why I've moved away from wanting theme restaurants in Bricktown. I want more unique restaurants, like Chelinos, Coach's, Pearls Crabtown, etc. That's why I was incredibly happy to hear whe Nonna's was opening up in Bricktown. I think Nonna's will be a fine unqiue attraction to the Bricktown area.

Anytime I go out of town somewhere, I always look for a unique local restaurant. If I want to eat chain food, I might as well stay at home.

I think we have more McDonalds than anyone. Practically one on every corner.

McDonald's suck!

Well, it seems that Chelino's has gone to crap since its inception in 1993. It's as if the more restaurants the owner opens, the lesser the quality is. It's now to the point the only reason to go to Chelino's is to eat on one of three patios. May as well munch on chips and salsa and knock back a few brews. Wouldn't waste my time on the rest of the menu

The Bricktown Chelino's has always had food that was not as good as their other locations.

The Chelino's at NW 16th and Meridian is the VERY BEST IN OKC!! Best food, service and green beer!! Check it out!!

[Patrick]

I geuss it just depends on the Chelino's location.....the Bricktown one is better than the one at NW 59th and N. May......I've never gotten good food there.

if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything

this is the thread were we get to say bad things.
on that note. my biggest problem, ive voiced this in other threads, is that the streets are in horrible condition. I HATE OUR STREETS. THEY SUCK!

The Arts District is definitely a location in transition. As I walked from the library to the Museum of Art to the Civic Center to the Montgomery, I ran across suit-and-tie folk as well as homeless folk. Such a stark contrast of education (library), culture (Civic Center, Museum), elite (Montgomery, Legacy Summit) and poverty (homeless shelters)...

Will the newness of the upscale Montgomery wear out for the residents who see bums constantly walking through "their" neighborhood? Will those in charge of the homeless shelters feel the pressure from the elites to locate their establishments elsewhere?

I honestly am in a quandry. I don't think we should 'force' the shelters out, because they are truly doing a good service for OKC. At the same time, I really don't want visitors (and residents) to get the wrong impression of OKC every time they walk to the Museum or library.

Opinions?...
