After one night at the Residence Inn at the intersection of Interstates 240 and 35, we decided to move to a quieter neighborhood. So we packed up the car (no small task) and moved to Bricktown, the hot new urban renewal neighborhood in Oklahoma City. (Who knew?)
Among the highlights of our new digs: we are directly across the street from OKC Redhawks stadium. This gleaming new 13,500 seat stadium is the the home of the Texas Rangers' AAA affiliate. (Fortuitously, the Iowa Cubs are in town this week. With luck I will catch a game or two.)
In another exciting note, the world headquarters of Sonic, the fast food chain, is next door to the hotel. Unbeknown to us, Sonic was started in Oklahoma (in 1953 for those interested in trivia) and now has 3,500 restaurants in the US. Pretty heady stuff. In recognition of this accomplishment, Jane and I had our first ever Sonic burger for dinner last night. Ummmm.
