OKC Second Time Around chronicles a 50-year period in which hundreds of buildings were demolished in downtown OKC, the demise of Urban Renewal, early development of Bricktown, and downtown's recent resurgence.
We are pleased to announce that "Bricktown," a publication by Steve Lackmeyer, co-author of "OKC Second Time Around," is set to be published this winter.
We started this site as a way to promote our first publication, "OKC Second Time Around." In just one year, the title saw the first printing of 2,000 copies sell out, with a second printing of 1,000 copies to follow. With more publications coming in future months, we're now blogging about OKC history in general, with more in-depth offerings to be found at our sister web site, www.okchistory.com.
“Cooking is an art. Have fun with it,” is my motto. I believe in breaking the traditional rules and letting the creative juices flow. When it comes to food and cooking, that means combining a variety of cuisines to create an unexpected taste.
