Why not dye the canal green?

They've already put green dye in the canal water...does that count?

It wasn't green enough.

I spent the majority of my St. Paddy's Day celebration at Bricktown Brewery. Their beer is okay -- better than what you'd find in any other bar but tapwerks, but I like the Brewery's atmosphere better for hanging out. Tapwerks is crowded, noisy, and tons more expensive. I spent maybe $25.00 on beer last night, where in the same span, I'd spend two or three times that much at Tapwerks...

Also, I learned something last night..

When in Bricktown, using the trolley system, pay close attention to the line you're about to ride. After consuming my fill of adult beverages last night, I walked out of the Brewery, and was lucky (so I thought) to walk right into a trolley (sometimes it's a 20 minute wait).

The trolley started taking a different route than I was used to, then got on the interstate. I ended up having to go through the Meridian corridor, over by Cattleman's, etc. etc. 40 minutes to an hour later, we got off of I-40 on Walker. I ended up having to walk through a still somewhat dangerous part of downtown to get back home.. Had no idea that lines besides the blue ran that late. I know now

Orange Line (Meridian to downtown and vice versa route) runs

Every 1-hour
Monday – Wednesday: 9:30am – 8pm
Thursday – Saturday: 9:30am – 11:30pm

----------------

Blue Line (downtown route) runs:

Every 20 minutes
Monday - Wednesday: 7am - 8pm
Thursday & Friday: 7am - 11pm
Saturday: 9am - 11pm
Sunday & Holidays (Memorial Day thru Labor Day): 10am - 6pm

-----------

Red Line...mostly just serves the downtown lunch crowd...runs Weekdays from 11 am - 2pm, every 10-15 minutes.



Be careful to watch which line the trolley is designated for.

Of course, that can be difficult when you've sampled a little too much at the Brewery!

Ha, ha, Midtowner, I'm laughing at the thought of riding around town aimlessly after one too many!

Been there done that, can you imagine Bart (Bay Area Rapid Transit- and I do mean rapid )in San Francisco, hop on one of those, you could end up across the bay or in Oakland! Trust me, not where you want to be lost and drunk in the middle of the night - very high crime rate.

It's okay, you took the scenic route!

At least you made it home safe and sound - hope you had fun!

The worst part of the whole thing was that I was wearing some Doc Martens that weren't broken in. Instead of the thick socks you need while those things are breaking in, I was wearing some very thin dress socks. The walk home (through the part of town just south of the jail) was VERY painful. I have spots on both ankles where the skin was just rubbed off.
