Reading "Boomtown" brought me here. Interesting book if you want to learn some OKC history. And be really impressed with and then really mad at Stanley Draper

The downtown area had so many historical buildings and urban renewal took those beautiful buildings down with no thought to retaining history. Of course, the land was taken without thought for preserving Native American history and culture. So glad the Supreme Court finally recognized the eastern land still belonged to the tribes. I am hoping the Cheyenne-Arapaho tribe has Ft.Reno returned to their tribe.

This area known as the Unassigned Lands were not assigned to any tribe. Over the ages the tribes have been compensated, again and again. Many times, over the same areas of claimed land. Free health care, and meds, free legal assistance. Casinos all over with little to no government oversight. The tribes have been given more than anyone else in history.

Seems the plans for the large shopping center downtown wasn’t built, nor the canyon /lake or the monorail system.

Most of the Pei plan was scrapped except for the wealthy bank buildings. Over 500 buildings were torn down and turned into surface parking lots. The current MAPS projects are finally giving back to the people it seems.

The OKC streetcar/light rail is the closest thing to the monorail that was then planned.

Shortsighted urban development with no though of Preserving anything for future generations razed the state theater in 1971. Very sad. Only to bring in company’s that are no longer even here. What a waste

OKC wasn't alone. Cities were still destroying their downtown well into the early 1990s. THEN, "urban preservation" became the norm.
