Bricktown

You can brothel anywhere, though, I suppose.

When I was trying to find any kind of information on a plaza ghost, what I kept turning up is, no, you're conflating the plaza district with Bricktown or Britain.

Yeah.

Because the brothels were where Bricktown is now and there was a haunted theater on Britain.

Well, I am moving to the Britain District potentially, so maybe I'll meet a ghost when I go.

I will say my own personal experiences with any particular vibes down there.

Howdy, partners.

Good to be back in Bricktown.

It's been about four months.

Oh, yeah, it's been, uh, it's been a while.

Yeah, I mean, usually, you know, when you – it's kind of funny because for us here, you know, we go through every game playing on a high school field, and there's some high school fields here that are pretty big where you need them.

But the main thing, you know, when you get to the state championship game, you know, you're playing at the Bricktown, the AAA ballpark, or you're playing up in Tulsa at the One Oak, which is a AA ballpark, and you go from playing on these – High school fields, which are a little smaller, and now all of a sudden you're on this big, you know, stadium.

And you definitely have to have that in your back pocket, you know, for sure, in case you have to use it.

Do you try to get to a bigger field then, especially for fly ball? It's not just double cuts, but it's fly ball communication too because they got to go a lot longer distance.

So sometimes, especially with the infielders, they come in to play a lot more on some of the fly ball communication stuff.

Yeah, no, we definitely do try to do that if we can.

You know, we're not obviously able to do it every year, but if we're able to go somewhere and do that, you know, like the Bricktown, they host some games, you know, throughout the spring.

And actually, we got lucky this year.

You can come see me in, where am I going? Oklahoma City.

Bricktown? I'm going to Bricktown.

When am I going there? You will be there November 14th and 15th.

There's, I mean, a really, really fun foodie culture in Denver.

The expansion of downtown Oklahoma City over the past 30 years, they've developed different districts downtown.

anything now I deal with a lot.

Now that I'm in Bricktown, I deal with a lot of domestic, a lot of transient homeless people calls.

And now I'm in the entertainment district now where I'm at.

A lot of drunks and stuff coming out of the clubs, fights, stuff like that.

It's fun.

That's fun.

So short, I should say almost a year later, you're at Bricktown brawl, Steve Schneider, the caveman, you're not came out.

So you're back on the track.

It's grown quite a bit over the past several years.

The area we're going to be in, the Bricktown area, it offers some awesome restaurants, restaurants, entertainment.

There's some dance halls around if anybody knows how to dance and that kind of stuff.

So you can come in, listen to some country music, a little rhythm and blues, a little jazz.
