I know this city that I have come to love and recognize even as I see just shadows of the skyline off in the distance, in a book, or on the screen will not …  read more…

Well, he’d fly all over, doing tricks, and he’d let go this here smoke trail and go flying toward the audience, and all until he crashed it right in front of a fair size crowd in Oklahoma City. … He had big dice games in Dallas, which just kept getting bigger until he ran twenty-seven dice games in downtown Dallas during the war. He had a piece of some fancy casinos too. You know how most outlaws keep with their own kind for telling stories, and such, but ol’ Benny …  read more…

Resolved Question: Do you believe in ghosts?
The Knicks were afraid, very afraid. And it had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City Thunder. For two days, several players had trouble sleeping because they were convinced that their downtown hotel is haunted. “I definitely believe it,” Jared Jeffries said. “The place is haunted. It’s scary.” New York Daily News

Eddy Curry claims he slept for only two hours Sunday night because he couldn’t stop thinking about ghosts roaming the hotel. For years, guests staying at the Skirvin Hilton have reported ghost sightings and strange noises. Legend has it that sometime in the 1930s, a woman jumped to her death while holding her baby in her hands. “They said it happened on the 10th floor and I’m the only one staying on the 10th floor,” Curry said. “That’s why I spent most of my time in (Nate Robinson’s) room. I definitely believe there are ghosts in that hotel.” New York Daily News

Resolved Question: Is Downtown Oklahoma City a good place to live for a college grad?
I’ve been given a few choices for my next rotation at my job that I got after graduating this past may, I won’t be moving till June (from Dallas) but I’m getting my research done early.

When I say Oklahoma City to my friends everyone cringes, but from what I’ve read there has been some huge downtown revival in the past few years.

What I’m looking for is an upscale/urban area, walking distance to bars, and a decent amount of young people. I love the city life, and while it wouldn’t be my first pick OKC is a city so it’s on my radar of places to move to. Any suggestions of specific areas to live?
