2010: Stockyard City Arch

WLCC Admin — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:11:24 +0000

The new Stockyards City Arch is nearly complete… this comes just in time for the 100 year anniversary of the district. The span was erected over the last few days. The area is also being showcased in the National Trust’s the 2010 National Main Street Conference in Oklahoma City, May 2-5.

I’m happy to see this being done… and hopefully showcasing one of OKC most unique and authentic districts. I’ve always thought a new arch was a great idea (with the the historic arch sort of tucked away)… I always pictured it at Exchange and Penn… this is on Agnew directly on the south bank of the Oklahoma River. I still say a second (matching?) one at Exchange and Penn would be a wonderful added bookend to the district. Picture it…

Although, I didn’t snap a shot… the arch is quite substantial compared to the historic arch… or the stockyards arches of Fort Worth or Chicago…. it is easily visable from the heart of the Stockyards at Exchange and Agnew.

Go Southside!

Now if we can only get funding for the triumphant arch originally planned on Lincoln near the Capitol!!!
