Oklahoma City
The Newest Frontier
Oklahoma City is a surprise
to many visitors and
newcomers, with all the
friendliness of a small town
and the amenities of our
nation’s biggest cities. And
with over fifty attractions,
museums and other activities,
visitors will never be at a
loss for fun things to see
and do.
Oklahoma City was born
in a single day - April 22,
1889. Just a little over a
century ago, the site of
Oklahoma City was a grassand-timbered land of gently
rolling hills flattening out
into prairie in the west. In
just over 100 years, this
collection of tents grew to
a metropolitan city that
sprawls across 625 square
miles of America's heartland.
Its metro population numbers
over a million - a third of the
entire state’s population.

ABOUT OUR PAST…
Oklahoma’s written history
began in 1541 when
Spanish explorer Coronado
ventured through this area.
At that time, it was the home
of the Plains Indian tribes,
such as the Osage, Kiowa,
Apache and Comanche. In
1803, Oklahoma was sold
to the U.S. as part of the
Louisiana Purchase.
In the 1830s, the federal
government forced the Five
Civilized Tribes to leave
their homelands. These
tribes were living in the
southeastern part of the U.S.
They had to walk to
Oklahoma over a trail that
became known as the “Trail
of Tears.” Many men,
women and children died
during this long and treacherous trip. Once these people
settled here, Oklahoma
became Indian Territory.
Oklahoma City KEY • September
2015
Cowboys began their
history on the Texas plains.
Texas ranchers found they
had large supplies of beef
with no place to sell it. The
East Coast needed beef. To
meet that demand, Texas
ranchers had to move their
cattle to the closest railroads,
which were in Kansas. The
Chisholm Trail and other cattle
routes were made through
Oklahoma between 1866
and 1889. While traveling
through Oklahoma, the
ranchers realized the territory
was not only closer to the
railroads, but a good location
for raising cattle as well.
There was one parcel of
land that was never given
over to any Indian tribe the Unassigned Lands. In
the 1880s, many frontier
Americans wanted to move
into this land. Soon, landless
pioneers began slipping
over into this area without
authorization.
These
were the “Boomers,” who
were trying to force t h e
government into opening
the territory up to
homesteaders.
President Benjamin
Harrison signed legislation
that opened up the
Unassigned Lands and on
DidYouKnow?
The world’s first installed
parking meter was in
Oklahoma City, on July 16,
1935. Carl C. Magee, of
Oklahoma City, is generally
credited with originating the
parking meter. He filed for a
patent for a “coin controlled
parking meter” on May 13,
1935.
April 22, 1889, about
50,000
homesteaders
gathered at the boundaries.
At noon, the cannon
roared, and the hordes of
people streamed over the
line on wagons and buckboards, horseback, on foot
and even on bicycles into the
two million acres of land,
made their claims and,
overnight, Oklahoma City
grew out of the plains.
The settlers who entered
to claim land before the
official start of the land
run were called Sooners.
Hence the state’s nickname. On November 16,
1907, the Oklahoma
Territory and Indian Territory
joined, and Oklahoma
became the 46th state.
OKLAHOMA CITY TODAY
Above:
Cowboys and Rodeo are
center stage each January at
the International Finals Rodeo.
The pioneer zeal of those
early settlers is just as
evident in the Oklahoma
City of today. The western
spirit that helped found
Oklahoma City is apparent
everywhere
you
go.
Oklahomans are just as
likely to be wearing boots
and a cowboy hat as they
are a suit and tie.
Magnificent attractions
like the National Cowboy
and Western Heritage
Museum, Remington Park
Race Track, Frontier City
Theme Park, and the Red
Earth Indian Center all
reflect the strong ties this
area has with its western
heritage.
In the early 1990s, the
leaders of Oklahoma City
were faced with a decision:
to compete or retreat. The
decision was made to
compete and the city
launched a visionary project one that would change the
face of Oklahoma City
forever. That plan was
Metropolitan Area Projects
(MAPS), an ambitious
program that is one of
the most aggressive and
successful public-private
partnerships ever undertaken
in the U.S. The current
amount being spent in this
public/private partnership
exceeds $8 billion.
As a result of that vision,
visitors can now enjoy a
multitude of new attractions
and
entertainment
options.
The NBA
Oklahoma City Thunder
attract record crowds with
its fast-paced, pulsepounding action in the
new Chesapeake Energy
Arena. The arena, a
20,000-seat entertainment
facility, has proven to be
an ideal location for
basketball, concerts and
events.
The 15,000-seat AT&T
Bricktown Ballpark is
home to the Oklahoma
City Dodgers, the Los
Angles Dodgers Triple A
affiliate, and has been
named one of the nation's
top two minor league
baseball facilities.
Our professional ice
hockey
team,
the
Oklahoma City Barons,
thrill sports fans in the
Cox Center.
The Bricktown Canal
extends
through
the
Bricktown entertainment
district -- just east of downtown, past the Ballpark to the
Oklahoma River. The river is
being transformed into a
seven-mile-long series of river
lakes bordered by landscaped
areas, trails and recreational
facilities.
Work on the initial project is complete, however
new projects are being
added. Shops, restaurants
and entertainment, hiking
and biking trails, and park
areas are part of this
developed area.
A multi-million dollar
facelift and renovation of
the Cox Convention Center
has added new meeting
rooms and lobby areas,
along with a remodeled
exterior and exhibit space.
The renovation of the
Civic Center Music Hall,
an historic art deco building,
is now the premier
performing arts venue in
the Southwest.
A new transportation system, EMBARK, covers a
three-mile area and loops
through downtown with an
additional segment of the
trolley system linking the
Meridian area hotels, state
fairgrounds and Stockyards
area with downtown and
Bricktown. The unique
system offers continuous
service six days a week.
Oklahoma City isn't lacking
in entertainment options,
either. The Oklahoma City
Philharmonic Orchestra,
Ballet Oklahoma, and
Broadway shows at Lyric
Theatre and the Civic Center
are just the beginning.
Beautiful lakes, parks and
some of the nation's best
golf courses and tennis
facilities also await the outdoor enthusiast. Welcome
to the new Oklahoma City!

Oklahoma City’s
newest entertainment destination
is Brickopolis. Located in the heart of
Bricktown, just west of the ballpark, right on
the Bricktown Canal, Brickopolis brings a whole
new level of fun to Bricktown.
Chris Johnson, an entrepreneur and 20 year
veteran in the Bricktown Entertainment District
had a dream: a unique family oriented entertainment
destination during the day and exhilarating
experience for adults in the evening. He brought
his dream to life with Brickopolis. The sprawling
24,000 square feet, three-story amusement venue is
designed for great food and fun. The complex also
includes miniature golf course with fountains and
waterfalls and a mining sluice.
Each floor of Brickopolis is designed for different
age groups. The canal level features games for
younger patrons and a pizza buffet and salad bar.
The street level includes a hamburger bar,
games and a gift shop. The third floor features
one of the best laser tag venues in the southwest.
The glass wall on the canal side of the building offers
unparalleled views of Downtown and
Bricktown.
As you enter the street level
from Mickey Mantle Drive,
visitors will find the perfect
atmosphere for Burgers and
Beer! The Burger Bar serves the
best burgers in Bricktown with
10
2015
Hot Fries and Cold Beer to go with
them! The full-service bar also features
cocktails and specialty drinks. Adjacent
to the Burger Bar you will find an
extensive selection of apparel, accessories
and unique souvenir t-shirts.
Explore the canal level, which features
a extensive pizza and salad bar buffet.
The restaurant also offers daily specials
that will tempt your taste buds.
The canal level also features the hottest
new arcade-style laser maze attraction Lazer Frenzy. This exciting new attraction
is captivating the world with its high-tech
interactive game play and its use of lasers,
mirrors, haze, effects, and unique
theming.
Inside the Lazer Frenzy laser maze
you are tasked with completing a variety
of objectives while being surrounded
by a web of laser beams you must
navigate carefully - just like in the spy
movies - to achieve the high score and
complete your mission. You have the
opportunity to choose from Easy,
Medium, Hard or Extreme.
Once you press that “start” button
you will be able to let your imagination
run wild – the maze will illuminate
and you can start your adventure.
Jump, dive and crawl through the
lasers as quickly as possible to reach
the “Checkpoint Button”. Once you
achieve that, you have to crawl, jump
and dive back to the “stop” button.
Once you hit “stop” you will be able
to view your score via a monitor.
The 3rd floor features EXTREME
FUN with more than 30 arcade
games, Aeroball and fully themed
laser tag arena. The 6,000 square feet
of the two-level laser tag arena features
exhilarating music and illuminated
LED pillars. Imagine stepping into an
action-packed, high-energy video
game where you are armed with your
own super-tech phase and body
armor, with power ups available during
play! The game operates using
infrared signals which transmits
information between players and
targets.
Not to be missed – day or night - is
Brickopolis Mini Golf along the
Bricktown Canal. Putt your way
through 18 holes of obstacles, bridges,
and cascading waterfalls, amidst a
fun-filled atmosphere in the heart of
Bricktown.
Brickopolis is located at 101 South
Mickey Mantle Drive – you can’t
miss it! Games and mini-golf are
available Sunday – Thursday 10am to
11pm; Friday - Saturday 10am to
midnight. The Pizza Buffet is open
daily from 11am-9pm and Burger
Bar is open daily from 11am to
10:30pm. For more information call

BRICKTOWN HISTORIC
DISTRICT
Just east of Downtown is
Bricktown,
Oklahoma
City's renovated ware
house district. When the
area was built back at the
turn of the century, bricks
made from Oklahoma's
famous dark red earth
were the most plentiful
building material available. Today, those bricks
provide the signature look
to Bricktown, which has
become OKC's biggest hot
spot for fine restaurants,
clubs, galleries and shops,
including Oklahoma's first
microbrewery. Tour boats
chug down the Bricktown
Canal, a mile-long pedestrian waterway that cuts
through the heart of
Bricktown, turns south at
the Ballpark, past water
falls and fountains to the
new Harkins Theatres and
Bass
Pro
Shops.

depicting the Oklahoma
Land Run, consists of 45

Bar“ located on the top of
the Ambassador Hotel. A
favorite of locals – the view
of the downtown skyline is
breathtaking.
OKLAHOMA CITY
ARTS DISTRICT
As the majestic Myriad
Botanical Gardens and the
multi-faceted Stage Center
- home of several theater
companies - remain major
anchor attractions for the

Music Hall reopened its
doors in November 2001,

ambiance from stainless
steel accents to authentic art
deco chandeliers for all to
admire. The state-of-the art
facility showcases
performances from ballet to
Broadway. The Oklahoma
City Museum of Art houses
the largest glass sculpture
by artist Dale Chihuly.
Standing nearly 55 feet tall
with over 2,400 pieces of
glass, the sculpture shines
as a beacon from the front
atrium of the museum. The
museum also showcases
numerous other exhibits as
well as an impressive classic
film library.
STOCKYARDS
DISTRICT
If you want to see a little
of the real West of today,
mosey on down to
Stockyards City, a few
minutes west of downtown.
Home to the world’s largest
stocker/feeder livestock
market, Stockyards City is
the “genuine article” & "must
see." For over 80 years,
Stockyards City has continually offered the kind of
quality products and services
which are synonymous with
the heritage of the West. A
‘must do’ in the Stockyards
is Cattlemen’s Steakhouse,
Oklahoma’s oldest continually operating restaurant.
After a great steak, take
time to browse the western
wear and specialty shops
lining the streets, complete
with jeans (Wranglers is
the brand of choice), wide
selection of boots, hats,
dusters, spurs and belt
buckles the size of hubcaps. If
you can’t find what you
need off the shelf, there
are highly skilled artisans
ready to custom make
whatever you need. You
won’t find any “My parents went to Stockyard
City and all I got was this
lousy T-shirt” shirts or
Elvis salt and pepper shakers, but you will leave
knowing what a real steak
tastes like, and that real
boots don’t come from
Bloomingdale’s.

A smoke-filled room and a lucky roll of the dice were all it took
to move a little diner from cowtown obscurity to annals of western
folklore.
Today, Cattlemen's is known not only for its unique history, but
mainly for its terrific food - perfectly aged steaks, legendary
breakfasts, and the best cup of coffee that Seattle couldn't touch.
So stop by Cattlemen's Steakhouse, smack in the middle of
Oklahoma City's Stockyards City, and soak in the rich atmosphere
that has made them a favorite destination of anyone who's pulled on
a pair of ropers!

re you looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush? If
so, Pole Position Raceway in Oklahoma City is the
answer! The all-new state-of-the-art indoor karting center
is home to the fastest go karts in the area.
Pole Position Raceway has two full-size tracks that
allow you to speed up to 45 miles per hour with family
and friends, and do so with the comfort of heat and air
conditioning. These are not the karts you remember as
kids! These are real performance karts that are probably
the closest you will ever come to driving a real race car.
There’s also food, drinks, video games, pool tables, and
much more.
One of the unique qualities of Pole Position Raceway is
the SpeedSheet scoring system. Every racer receives a
copy of the results sheet that shows average lap time,
fastest lap time, overall position in the race, and how you
rank against everyone that’s ever spun laps here at Pole
Position Raceway.
“It’s an incredible scoring system,” says Oklahoma dirt
track legend Shane Carson. “It definitely adds to the whole
experience.” Pole Position Raceway is loaded with authentic
racing memorabilia and has more than a dozen flat screen
televisions that play the latest sporting events. Because the
karts use 20-horsepower electric motors, there are no toxic
fumes so you’re not gasping for fresh air.
It’s so cool that seven-time AMA Supercross Champion
Jeremy McGrath calls Pole Position Raceway “the ultimate
racing experience for family and friends!” If that’s not
enough, X-Games Freestyle Motocrosser Kenny Bartram
has said “I’ve been to a lot of kart tracks around the world
and there is nothing like Pole Position Raceway.” Former
Indy 500 racer Dominic Dobson says “I come to Pole
Position Raceway every chance I get and I always have a
lot of fun!”
Prices start at $9.95 per session and there are also three
different race packages (Pole Position Challenge, Grand
Prix and Super Pole) available for groups of eight or
more. It’s also an excellent place for birthday parties,
corporate team building events, product launches, bachelor
parties, church groups, sports teams and more.

015 marks the 50th anniversary of a Texas western
classic. Cavender’s has become the go-to western
wear retailer with a reach spanning 8 states. They stand apart
from others in the industry in more ways than one. Still
owned and operated by the Cavender family, their roots are
sunk deep in the western lifestyle. This allows them to get a
feel for what their customers want and they have not forgotten
their humble beginnings.
In 1957, James R. Cavender opened a little burger joint
called the Dairy Hart in the small East Texas town of
Pittsburg. After years of this, Oklahoma native James had
grown tired of dipping ice cream and flipping hamburgers
and decided to open a clothing store “Cavender & Smith’s.”
A year later, James bought out his partner and being a farm
boy with an agriculture degree from Oklahoma State (then
Oklahoma A&M), he bought three styles of Tony Lama
boots. History was now in the making at the renamed
“Cavender’s.”
Combine a little of the old west with a lot of the new, and
you’ll find Cavender’s offering the latest and most affordable
styles in western wear. Cavender’s is the world’s largest
retailer of handcrafted boots, carrying a selection offered
nowhere else. Choose from the finest leathers by brands such
as Ariat, Justin, Lucchese, Tony Lama and many others.
Along with the most popular footwear, you’ll find the latest
styles in jeans, shirts, outerwear, jewelry and accessories. If
you’re looking for a new hat, the symbol of the American
West, you are sure to find the perfect one at Cavender’s.
They take great pride in supplying a large selection, including
felt, straw, and palm leaf styles for folks of all ages, from terrific
brands such as Stetson, Resistol, Rodeo King, and more.
Whether you’re looking for mainstream western apparel or just
sticking to a traditional look, Cavender’s has you covered
from head to toe. Cavender’s Western Outfitter has become
synonymous with the well-dressed Oklahoman.

a lower middle class family in New Rochelle, New York
and worked two jobs to pay for a private high-school
education and put gas in her ‘67 VW Bug. After graduation,
Lil was bound for NYU. It was during her college years
– she learned her business acumen.
Coyote Ugly Saloon first opened its doors to the public
in Manhattan, on January 27th, 1993 and was an instant
success. She had perfected her business plan - beautiful
girls + booze = money. Coyote Ugly Saloon quickly
established itself in the hearts of New Yorkers as their
preeminent drinking establishment.
Coyote Ugly gained national attention in early 1997 when
a story called “The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon”
written by former Coyote bartender Elizabeth Gilbert for
GQ magazine, shined a spotlight on the little bar in the East
Village. Shortly after that, Hollywood came knocking and
the movie rights to Lil's story were sold. “Coyote Ugly”
opened in September 2000, has grossed over $100 million
and a worldwide audience quickly learned what the phrase
“We don’t serve water here!” meant.
What makes this saloon different than most bars, is the
sexy and sassy “coyotes” that pour drinks while keeping
a beat from behind AND on top of the bar! The “coyotes”
use the bar top as their stage for high energy singing of your
favorite tunes and pulse raising dancing performances.
Lil’s Coyote Ugly Saloons are still run with the same
mission statement: Quick wit, unshakable assurance, and
the ability to take your last dollar, has made Coyote Ugly
what it is today.

T
he creation of owner Lori Burson Tyler, Stella has
established itself as a destination in the city’s Midtown
district by offering delicious, modern takes on Italian classics
in a neighborhood restaurant just minutes away from downtown and Bricktown.
Tyler spent many years opening and managing some of
Oklahoma City’s best restaurants, but her goal was always to
open her own place. Tyler realized he lifelong dream when she
opened Stella in April 2010. She chose a location blocks away
from her own home because her dream was always to create
a neighborhood restaurant where friends, family, and customers
could gather to experience dining, not just grab a meal.
Midtown has experienced a renaissance in the past decade.
Beautiful, old buildings have been refurbished, professionals
and creative types are moving in, and a thriving dining and
night life scene is emerging.
One of those beautiful, old buildings is Stella’s home. In the
early 1920s, Anderson-Prichard built the facility as a gas
station to service the neighborhood. Prior to 1930, oil
companies were experimenting with service stations in
residential areas. To attract customers, they chose large corner
lots and erected attractive buildings. The building has been
re-envisioned many times over the decades, but the basic
structure remains intact, including the bay doors.
The heart of Stella is the food, though. Lori works in
conjunction with Executive Chef Melissa Aust, whose
philosophy is that food ought to be fresh, local, and seasonal.
The pair work together to create a menu that changes with the
season, and they source as much locally as possible. Some
features and customer favorites, like the amazing short rib
ragout, remain year round, but most of the items change quarterly.
At the end of Stella’s beautiful bar is the brick oven where
the Roman-style (thin crust) pizzas are made. The menu also
features appetizers, salads, soups, pasta dishes, seafood, and
steak. You won’t find lasagna or spaghetti on the menu; this is
modern Italian, after all, but the pasta dishes are hearty,
creative, and delicious.
Dress at Stella is eclectic. Lori wants guests to feel
comfortable in jeans and tee shirts before the game or in
evening attire before the Philharmonic. Dressed up or
dressed down, everyone will be made to feel welcome and
comfortable.
