Last trip we visited the Memorial, the Cowboy Museum and many more of the sites in Oklahoma City. This time we are doing some different things.
Of an afternoon we pop down to the bar for a pre -dinner drink.
On the weekends the RV Park provides a live band. They were very good.
We decided to revisit Brick Town which is considered an industrial - chic area that is a lively entertainment area. It has repurposed warehouse space homes to restuarants, piano lounges and chic wine bars. There is an eclectric mix of shops who sell everything from clothes,home decor, gourmet foods, handmade chocolate and much more.
The Ball Park is located near by.
The Brick Town Water Taxi costs $ 9 for seniors and takes passangers along the canal. It a short trip compared with the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas. Located along the banks of the canal there are a variety of restuarants.
The canal has its own unique style. It tells the story of the first landowners and is depicted by these magnificant stautes. One such settler was the Sooner who entered the unassigned lands in what is now the State of Oklahoma before the offical start of the Land Rush of 1889. Here he is hiding in the trees.
Will Rogers as a native of Oklahoma and the the horseman below is crated in the image of Will.
This mural was painted in the early 50's and was completed in 3 days.
There are waterfalls dotted along the canal.
There is a a Memorial to the Cherokee Indians whose were the original land owners of Oklahoma.
Along the banks there are interesting works of art. This is called "Inclinded",2000, Bronze,Concrete, and steel.
Here is a colourful Buffulo.
It was now time for lunch and we dinned at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill.
More to follow.
Cheers,
Ross and Beverley
