OKLAHOMA CITY

OklahomaCityThe Newest Frontier

Oklahoma City is a surpriseto many visitors and newcomers, with all thefriendliness of a small townand the amenities of ournation’s biggest cities. Andwith over fifty attractions,museums and other activities,visitors will never be at aloss for fun things to seeand do.

Oklahoma City was bornin a single day - April 22,1889. Just a little over acentury ago, the site ofOklahoma City was a grass-and-timbered land of gentlyrolling hills flattening outinto prairie in the west. Injust over 100 years, thiscollection of tents grew toa metropolitan city thatsprawls across 625 squaremiles of America's heartland.Its metro population numbersover a million - a third of theentire state’s population.

ABOUT OUR PAST…Oklahoma’s written histo-

ry began in 1541 whenSpanish explorer Coronadoventured through this area.At that time, it was the homeof the Plains Indian tribes,such as the Osage, Kiowa,Apache and Comanche. In1803, Oklahoma was soldto the U.S. as part of theLouisiana Purchase.

In the 1830s, the federalgovernment forced the FiveCivilized Tribes to leavetheir homelands. Thesetribes were living in thesoutheastern part of the U.S.They had to walk toOklahoma over a trail thatbecame known as the “Trailof Tears.” Many men,women and children diedduring this long andtreacherous trip. Once thesepeople settled here, Oklahomabecame Indian Territory.

Cowboys began theirhistory on the Texas plains.Texas ranchers found theyhad large supplies of beefwith no place to sell it. TheEast Coast needed beef. Tomeet that demand, Texasranchers had to move theircattle to the closest railroads,which were in Kansas. TheChisholm Trail and other cattle routes were madethrough Oklahomabetween 1866 and 1889.While traveling throughOklahoma, the ranchersrealized the territory was notonly closer to the railroads,but a good location for raisingcattle as well. There wasone parcel of land that wasnever given over to anyIndian tribe - theUnassigned Lands. In the1880s, many frontierAmericans wanted to moveinto this land. Soon, landlesspioneers began slippingover into this area withoutauthorization. Thesewere the “Boomers,” whowere trying to force t h egovernment into openingthe territory up to homesteaders.

Pres ident BenjaminHarrison signed legislationthat opened up theUnassigned Lands and on

April 22, 1889, about50,000 homesteadersgathered at the boundaries.At noon, the cannonroared, and the hordes ofpeople streamed over theline on wagons and buckboards, horseback, onfoot and even on bicyclesinto the two million acresof land, made their claimsand, overnight, OklahomaCity grew out of theplains. The settlers whoentered to claim landbefore the official start ofthe land run were calledSooners. Hence the state’snickname. On November16, 1907, the OklahomaTerritory and Indian Territoryjoined, and Oklahomabecame the 46th state.

OKLAHOMACITYTODAYThe pioneer zeal of thoseearly settlers is just as evident in the OklahomaCity of today. The westernspirit that helped foundOklahoma City is apparenteverywhere you go.Oklahomans are just aslikely to be wearing bootsand a cowboy hat as theyare a suit and tie.Magnificent attractions

like the National Cowboyand Western HeritageMuseum, Remington ParkRace Track, Frontier CityTheme Park, and the RedEarth Indian Center allreflect the strong ties thisarea has with its westernheritage.

In the early 1990s, the leaders of Oklahoma Citywere faced with a decision:to compete or retreat. Thedecision was made tocompete and the citylaunched a visionary project -one that would change theface of Oklahoma Cityforever. That plan wasMetropolitan Area Projects(MAPS), an ambitiousprogram that is one of the most aggressive and successful public-privatepartnerships ever undertakenin the U.S. The currentamount being spent in thispublic/private partnershipexceeds $8 billion.

As a result of that vision,visitors can now enjoy a multitude of new attractions and entertainmentoptions. The NBAOklahoma City Thunder

attract record crowds withits fast-paced, pulse-pounding action in theChesapeake Energy Arena.The arena has proven to bean ideal location for sports,concerts and events.

The ChickasawBricktownBallpark is home to theOklahoma City Dodgers,the Los Angles DodgersTriple A affiliate, and hasbeen named one of thenation's top two minorleague baseball facilities.

The Bricktown Canalextends through theBricktown entertainmentdistrict -- just east of down-town, past the Ballpark to theOklahoma River. The river aseven-mile-long series of riverlakes bordered by landscapedareas, trails and recreationalfacilities. Shops, restaurantsand entertainment, hikingand biking trails, and parkareas are part of this developed area.

Visitors to OKC have aconvenient new way tomove around downtown.The Oklahoma CityStreetcar connects visitorsto hotels, dining andattractions throughout

Downtown. Seven carsrun on two loops, withvarying schedules. With22 platforms on the 4.7-mile loop, passengers onlyneed to walk a coupleblocks to find a platform.Day passes are availableon each platform for $3, orsingle-use tickets areavailable for one dollar.

On Friday and Saturday,Bricktown has a dedicatedloop that runs from theMyriad Gardens to EastBricktown every 15 min-utes until 2:00 a.m. TheDowntown loop overlapsthe Bricktown loop.Service along theDowntown loop runsseven days a week.

Streetcars arrive at theDowntown platformsevery 12-14 minutes. TheDowntown Map on page40 provides more routeinformation.

ocated in the heart of Bricktown, Coyote UglyOklahoma City opened its doors to capacity

crowds, with the world famous ‘Coyotes’ entertainingthe thirsty patrons! As the doors opened – the Coyotesimmediately jumped onto the bar and danced to a mix ofclassic and hard rock while the crowd cheered them.

‘Welcome to Coyote Ugly!’ yelled founder Liliana Lovell.

Coyote Ugly’s founder Liliana ‘Lil’ Lovell grew up ina lower middle class family in New Rochelle, New Yorkand worked two jobs to pay for a private high-schooleducation and put gas in her ‘67 VW Bug. After graduation,Lil was bound for NYU. It was during her college years– she learned her business acumen.

Coyote Ugly Saloon first opened its doors to the publicin Manhattan, on January 27th, 1993 and was an instant success. She had perfected her business plan - beautifulgirls + booze = money. Coyote Ugly Saloon quicklyestablished itself in the hearts of New Yorkers as theirpreeminent drinking establishment.

Coyote Ugly gained national attention in early 1997 whena story called “The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon”written by former Coyote bartender Elizabeth Gilbert forGQ magazine, shined a spotlight on the little bar in the EastVillage. Shortly after that, Hollywood came knocking andthe movie rights to Lil's story were sold. “Coyote Ugly”opened in September 2000, has grossed over $100 millionand a worldwide audience quickly learned what the phrase“We don’t serve water here!” meant.

What makes this saloon different than most bars, is thesexy and sassy “coyotes” that pour drinks while keepinga beat from behind AND on top of the bar! The “coyotes”use the bar top as their stage for high energy singing of yourfavorite tunes and pulse raising dancing performances.

Lil’s Coyote Ugly Saloons are still run with the samemission statement: Quick wit, unshakable assurance, andthe ability to take your last dollar, has made Coyote Uglywhat it is today.
