Bricktown is evolving... when did you see it last? They're now excavating beneath historic buildings to build new canal-level retail spaces.

The CBD is actually progressing too. We have a new Italian restaurant in the Montgomery Ward Apartments where Eva Longoria has eaten while in town with NBA boyfriend, a few restaurants that have been announced, a nightclub in the basement of the Colcord hotel ("XO"), and today a furniture/decor store announced a new location in the CBD.

People are already taking residency in the CBD. There are about 250 units in progress in the CBD alone, and 2,000 announced in the whole of downtown.

Pedestrian level is not being forgotten in OKC. We have the Underground, it's a fine asset, and we're keeping it and improving it.
