Title: 'Bricktown' a vivid portrait Author: Tricia Pemberton Publisher: The Oklahoman Date: 3/1/2009 Anyone enamored with the rise, fall and rise of Oklahoma City's wholesale district and its slow evolution into the entertainment mecca now known as Bricktown will want a copy of Steve Lackmeyer's pictorial history, "Bricktown" (Arcadia Publishing, $21.99). Lackmeyer, a business writer at The Oklahoman, starts his history lesson before the 1889 Land Run, when the area along the currently named Oklahoma River was an outpost for troops from Fort Reno. Once troops withdrew, proximity to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway made the area perfect for industrial growth. Primarily using photos and maps borrowed from individuals, the Oklahoma Historical Society and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, Lackmeyer shows the district's development, from the wooden buildings that went up almost overnight after the Land Run to the industrial peak before the Great Depression, when companies such as Carroll, Brough and Robinson, the precursor to Fleming Foods; the Oklahoma City Mill and Elevator Co.; and others occupied spacious buildings in a thriving commerce district. Lackmeyer devotes a section of his book to Douglass High School -- formerly where the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark is -- and teacher Zelia N. Breaux and her legendary jazz students Jimmy Rushing and Charlie Christian. He also documents painstaking eras of demise for the district, post-Great Depression and again after a revival from the 1940s to the '60s. The modern Bricktown was a long time in coming, according to Lackmeyer's research. He describes how developers in the 1980s poured money into turning old warehouses into clubs, restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts, only to file for bankruptcy. Lackmeyer says it was the right dream at the wrong time, brought down by high-interest loans on the cusp of the city's oil bust. Developers later would capitalize on some of those early visions with growth pushed by city voters passing the Metropolitan Area Projects plan. The money brought such changes as the Bricktown Canal, the ballpark and other projects to Bricktown. But, as Lackmeyer points out, plenty of ventures have failed in Bricktown -- remember Piggy's or O'Brien's? Photos show the renaissance that exists in Bricktown, from the lighted Sheridan Avenue entrance to the area designed by architect Rand Elliott to businesses and hotels that line the canal. Anyone with a stake in Bricktown or just a curiosity about the district will enjoy this book.
Synopsis
From the moment 10,000 settlers descended upon Oklahoma Station in 1889 and declared it Oklahoma City, the land surrounding the depot was destined to become the new community s hub of commerce. The wholesale district was first home to massive cotton operations. Wholesale grocers, livery stables, and hardware and implement distributors followed, building up sturdy brick edifices in the years leading up to Oklahoma s statehood in 1907. Almost every major railroad line dissected the area, which was once bordered to the south and east by the North Canadian River, and by World War I, oil derricks were popping up like trees. By the 1970s, the once proud wholesale district was a ghost town. But most of the old brick buildings and streets had survived the ravages of time. Developers just as ambitious as the city s early settlers rechristened the area Bricktown, and a city seeking to reclaim its past spent millions adding a canal, ballpark, and other improvements that have made Bricktown a popular regional entertainment district.", From the moment 10,000 settlers descended upon Oklahoma Station in 1889 and declared it Oklahoma City, the land surrounding the depot was destined to become the new community's hub of commerce.

- r***0 (43)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI paid for this movie on 07/05. By 07/24, the tracking showed that my parcel has been waiting at an USPS facility in my for a week. I contacted the seller. eBay issued a refund. Surprise! today, 08/01, the movie arrived well packed. I watched it. Excellent condition and video quality; great price also. Wanted to pay for it (again)so I contacted the seller to find out how. Regretfully, they say they were “unable to retain payment after a refund has been issued”. A real shame. Snail Mail’s fault
- l***t (55)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI received my order on time as seller promised. I had questions prior to it being shipped. The seller quickly responded putting my mind at ease. I had previously purchased this same item from 2 other sellers in which I made several attempts to contact, but they would not respond, yet they had already received pymt. I ended up canceling those. Sellers like this one restored my faith on purchasing from EBAY. Item was in perfect condition n packaged very well. Thank you!
