Union Station is an architectural gem that survived an era of demolition in Oklahoma City. But though it survived, it found itself on the wrong side of the highway and hidden behind various newer structures. A generation of residents basically forgot that it existed.
A decade ago, the relocation of the highway and the removal of those intervening structures for the creation of Scissortail Park allowed for the revival of Union Station in our local culture. However, it was merely something pretty to look at and not something you could use.
Since we established the amount of the surplus tax collection for MAPS 3 in 2020, we’ve been working towards a full renovation that will allow Union Station to be an active participant in the life of the park that surrounds it. Today, the City Council added some TIF funds as well to close out the necessary budget for the project. We look forward to getting started soon!
Anthony Bourdain once said RATATOUILLE is the best food movie of all time.
“The best restaurant movie ever made, the best chef movie. The tiny details are astonishing:
•The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists.
•The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks.
•The attention paid to the food.
•And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest–literally breathtaking.
I saw it in a theater entirely full with adults–and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once–a long time ago–all about:
Audible surprise, delight, awe and even a measure of enlightenment.
I am hugely and disproportionately proud that my miniscule contribution (if any) early early in the project’s development led to a ‘thank you’ in the credits. Amazing how much they got ‘right.’”

"Both of those moments could be turned into statues. In fact, I suggest turning them both into statues."

We are saddened by the loss of former Oklahoma State football coach Bob Simmons. He was the first African American Head Coach in Big 8 history. He was 77 years old.
Hey, show me once where SGA/OKC organization “cried” or blamed the officials in the post game. You won’t find it bc it doesn’t exist. You’re just a sheep to false narratives & it’s sad really. Do better.
