BRICKTOWN

Oklahoma Home


Seattle has Pioneer Square. Dallas has the West End. San Antonio has the Riverwalk. Fort Worth has, well, proximity to Dallas. And Oklahoma City has Bricktown. An old industrial warehouse and factory section of town, built of red bricks, hence the name. Reborn with the help of a 750 million dollar project which includes a beautiful new baseball stadium and a canal with water taxis. Toby Keith has opened a bar in Bricktown named after one of his hit songs named I Love This Bar and Grill. Bass Pro Shops has opened an Outdoor World in Bricktown.

Is this what they call the Bridge of Sighs?

A Bricktown Water Taxi.

A Water Taxi seems to travel about a half a mile an hour which leaves quite a bit of turbulence in its wake.

Mickey Mantle's Bar.

It seems someone named Mickey Mantle was a well known baseball player from the last century with ties to Oklahoma City.

A Bricktown Sculpture.

This sculpture may represent some Greek Mythology character, or not. Maybe it is supposed to be Mickey Mantle.
