here’s a big blue bear now standing on the namesake street of a trendy arts district in Oklahoma City. His name? Oso Paseo. Bolted to the pavement, this oso (Spanish for bear) is a geometric
sculpture staring into the front windows of the latest and greatest restaurant from Shaun Fiaccone of Humankind Hospitality Services. Oso on Paseo, which opened in late October, joins other popular restaurants and watering holes in the Paseo Arts District, like Picasso’s
and The Other Room. With Oso, Humankind has birthed the first of fraternal twins; Frida’s, the next child, should arrive in the spring. The once bare corner on a tiny hill has been beautifully transformed by Jeremy Foraker’s Pueblo at Paseo project, and Oso is the anchor for this sun-bleached, white, multilevel space.
