Will Rogers Park, on some of those benches near the rose garden, overlooking the pond. That's probably one of the most peaceful places I've ever seen.

Looking at the canal and seeing the Miller Jackson writing from the I-40 Crosstown.

The view from anywhere at the Bricktown Ballpark.

A nice view of the Honey Bees at a Hornets game.

View from atop the Dam at Lake Hefner.

Louie's on the lake...Nothing like sucking down 10 or so happy hour beers while watching the sunset :drunk:

The mens restroom there is my favorite in OKC. Especially the furthest left urinal. :tiphat:

I-35 Northbound just before you cross the Oklahoma River - nice view of OU Medical and capital.

1. A view from anywhere in Memorial Stadium.

2. The view of the canal both ways from Oklahoma Avenue, looking down.

3. A look at the Ford Center, all lit up, from the Myriad Gardens on game night.

4. The completed and re-opened Skirvin Hotel.

5. The view from the round window inside the Crystal Bridge.

6. Any view of the Skyline from the I-40 Crosstown. A view I'll soon miss.

YES! That's funny that you'd mention that. I know exactly what you mean. I love that mens room. If I'm ever in an exceptional mens room I always remember it.
