Default Re: My Critique and Suggestions for Bricktown

What's wrong with having people who want to go to Bass Pro, Wormy Dog, and Toby Keith's and listen to country music? That's a culture as much as anything else, and believe it or not, that western kind of cowboy culture can be a very urban, upscale culture! Look at the stockyards- there's a lot of expensive merchandise down there, and classy people who frequent those establishments. These places aren't just about "bubba factor" they're also about attracting young, fashionable, fun people who are part of a certain culture- that culture is just as relevant as the kind who will go to the Petroleum Club and drink champagne or whatever.

And what's wrong with teenagers? If in Bricktown teenagers are thinking they have found a really cool place to be in OKC, that sounds like a success. Those are the people who are the future of Oklahoma, and if we can snare them and show them that they can live here and have a really cool, successful life, that is GOOD. So the more young people we see in Bricktown, the better.
