t's funny how great Oklahoma City looks BY NATHAN POPPE LOOKATOKC EDITOR through an Instagram or Facebook feed. NPOPPE@OKLAHOMAN.COM I see enough brunches, babies and beagles that I can safely live through others without even standing up or opening both eyes. We all tend to paint a cleaner, selfiefilled version of our lives online. That's why I think Brianna Bailey's cover story is so important. It shows a side of OKC that's easy to ignore, but is an integral part of our DNA. Like Garth Brooks songs at a karaoke bar or complaining about college football. Bailey left the comfort of The Oklahoman’s new office and walked down a huge stretch of Western Avenue, a street that contains a lot of memories for me. In high school, I found $20 in the Size Records parking lot and bought the Flaming Lips’ "The Soft Bulletin.” Shortly after, I caught my first show at The Conservatory. I left smelling like a combination of ashtrays and regret. It was awesome. I could go on about my first trip to VZD's or try to describe many smells of Super Cao Nguyen, but I only have so much space to work with. What I like most about Brianna's story is that it mentions a lot of those places, and others that I usually overlook or ignore completely. It’s important to have reminders that our city is more than just NBA Finals hopes, food trucks and trendy bars. OKC can be as ugly as it is pretty. So let's remember that. Let's embrace it, even. Take some time to learn about where you're from and who fills those neighborhoods we avoid. Maybe it'll make you want to change it for the better I'm sure not interested in us getting any worse. Thanks to Melissa Howell for organizing the swimsuit feature and Chris Landsberger for his photos. We’ll be featuring the Okie models differently so flip to that page to get that update. Becky Carman wrote an amazing JD McPherson profile that even JD himself dug. This is my favorite issue this year and there’s not a shred of wire content in these pages. It’s all by OKC for OKC. Isn’t that really the best way to be?

May rocks to the beat of five new, unpredictable tracks
T
his spring's music climate has proved as unpredictable as an Oklahoma weather system. Kanye West changed the name of his upcoming record, a new music streaming service caught on and then didn’t, and Alabama Shakes now sound more like Spiritualized than any band from Alabama. Heck even, Dwight Yoakam showed up, so you know it's been a weird time. Let's parse through some songs, shall we? J Fernandez — “Read My Mind” Between the writing, recording, producing and engineering processes, it’s not uncommon for dozens of people to work on a given song slated to appear on a major label release. That’s one reason why smaller-scale stuff — like this new song, “Read My Mind,” from Chicago home-recorder J Fernandez — often feels more personal and occasionally even distinct. Fernandez wrote, played and recorded it all alone, literally in his own bedroom, free from deadlines or collaboration. The song is emphatically his. That said, there’s a calm sense of melancholy on the surface of “Read My Mind,” but a mild paranoia hums directly under it, like a fish swimming along, just beneath the water’s ripples. It all feels very mysterious, with Fernandez reflecting on a relationship that seems to have gone bad.

MATT CARNEY All about creating a deeper relationship with music.
Alabama Shakes — “Future People” If you caught the Alabama Shakes playing “Gimme All Your Love” on “Saturday Night Live” last month then you were treated to a simmering, gritty, tour de force vocal performance by Brittany Howard, who can howl like Otis Redding and purr like a panther. And while that song much resembled the band’s first record — a louder, more muscular take on Southern rock and soul — the more recent single “Future People” seems decidedly more weird and less predictable, an elastic, spooky thing that raises the hairs on your head. The needlepoint guitar playing on “Future People” and the colossal low-end thumps would’ve sounded otherworldly on the Shakes’ last record but here in “Sound & Color,” they’re just part of a fantastic landscape, more distant planet than backwoods swamp. The constant is Howard, a performer of rare expressive talent, as capable of breaking your heart as she is scaring you witless. Listen to her band’s new record at your own risk. Dwight Yoakam — “The Big Time” Upon the teenage discovery of my dad's record collection I was far more enamored of his Led Zep-
pelin and King Crimson LPs — with their bright colors and heavy guitar riffs — than the coy urban cowboy staring at me from the cover of “Hillbilly Deluxe.” But eventually I developed a taste for the twangy, and Yoakam's take on achy heartbreak won me over. “Second Hand Heart” is out now and it's less about shiny guitars and Cadillacs than his earliest, most commercially successful work but damn can this dude still write a killer song. “The Big Time” is the only song here that could probably have fit in with that run of Yoakam records from '86 through '89 and it's a gem, a hotdogging countrypolitan romp that only works in the hands of a singer as unabashed as the man himself: "well they say I can't afford the big time, babe I'll just write an 'I owe you.'" Hop Along — “Powerful Man” I done goofed up. A couple weeks ago when The War on Drugs played Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, I arrived too late to catch their opening act, fellow Philadelphians Hop Along. What I missed was a springy, lo-fi rock band fronted by raspy-voiced Frances Quinlan, who sings in fits and spurts like she grew up on Sleater-Kinney records. A friend at the show described their set to me as being everything that was good about nineties indie-rock. I presume they probably played “Powerful Man,” which is a simple song about a complicated subject: failure. The song’s narrative goes that Quinlan’s teenage narrator witnesses an instance of domestic abuse and is turned away in her attempt to report it. But her fractured, gasping delivery tells you everything about the alienation, confusion and sense of powerlessness that she felt in the aftermath of that small act of violence. Did I mention that it’s also got a really catchy chorus? Wet — “Deadwater” There’s some devastating, life-altering event suggested by the lyrics in “Deadwater,” a new song from rookie Massachusetts R&B pop trio Wet, but it’s unclear what. Musically, there’s apprehension and tension, pushing and pulling like the ocean’s tide as singer Kelly Zutrau smoothly segues from verse to chorus and back again. Without addressing the issue head-on, Zutrau and her band convey that there’s something big here, something mysterious. In form, “Deadwater” is a pop song, three and a half minutes with a bridge, but that’s just to the song what a frame is to a house. Inside it’s roomy, open and inviting: a slow R&B jam with a subtle beat and gentle cascades of golden guitar chords that sound so clear you can almost count the strings in them.

Beer House and Lawn, a new bar located in downtown Edmond right off Main Street, in a 112-year-old house. Patriarch manager Michael Cotton wants the house to feel like home. “We really wanted to be a place that’s about community where great conversations are happening,” he said. “We want there to be this communal atmosphere.” More commonly known as the Hunt House, the home was built in 1903 by Citizens Bank of Edmond co-founder William Hunt. He died one year after it was built. Owners Bryce Thompson and Stephen Russell fell in love with the house before it was for sale. It has taken several months of re-modeling to create the bar. Builders used part of the wood from inside the wall as the bar top. Behind the bar is 48 beer taps, a majority from Oklahoma breweries. “Thirty beers on tap from Oklahoma,” Cotton said, “I can’t imagine anyone having more than that.” The bar features chalkboard walls that’ll share the
science behind beer and how it’s made. “I think our owners are passionate about beer and understand beer,” Cotton said. “Part of what they wanted to do is educate people about beer.” The bar’s backyard is expansive, with room for live music, picnic tables and food trucks. “People love food trucks,” Cotton said. “We have this really big fun outdoor space. People can order a beer from the walk-up window.” Cotton moved back to his hometown from Brooklyn, New York to run The Patriarch. He's seen some major development in Edmond since his return. He cited the revival in downtown Edmond, which gives UCO students and younger residents a place to go. “We don’t want it to be an intimidating thing,” Cotton said. “It’s going to be a space even for people who aren’t craft beer people.” Visit www.thepatriarchedmond.com for more information.

klahoma City was tied with the Austin, Texas, metro area for the lowest unemployment rate in the nation among large cities at 3.3 percent in March. Las Vegas had the highest jobless rate for the month among large metropolitan areas at 7.2 percent. Unemployment rates were lower in March than a year earlier in 358 of the 387 metropolitan areas, higher in 28 areas, and unchanged in 1 area, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in late April. Oklahoma City tied with Austin for lowest unemployment rate for metropolitan areas with a population of 1 million or more. Across the state, unemployment rates fell in 72 of Oklahoma’s 77 counties in March, according to data released Wednesday by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. McIntosh County in eastern Oklahoma had the highest unemployment rate for March at 7.6 percent, while Cimarron County in the Panhandle had the state’s lowest unemployment rate at 1.7 percent. — Brianna Bailey, for LOOKatOKC

here’s a mobility in perception about Broken Arrow artist JD McPherson that evades explanation. The onion skin is basic, essential throwback rock ’n’ roll, a partial assessment that leads diehard rockabilly fans and unresearched reporters alike to see McPherson as, in his words, “all poodle skirts and leather jackets.” And ultimately, I guess, there’s no real harm in taking the sock hop version of McPherson at face value if that’s all you’re looking for. But there’s more to him than that. Whatever it is, it’s why he and his band have jumped from opening for neo-country star Eric Church in April to a string of lateMay dates with Robert Plant. It’s a timelessness coupled with experimentation that’s captured the ears of NPR, David Letterman, The Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone. It’s taken McPherson from an invitation to play with Queens of the Stone Age last fall to a headlining slot at Guthrie’s Queen of the Prairie Festival. “Maybe people sort of see the patina of somebody who’s been committed to something for a
Page 10

long time and also maybe isn’t trying to treat it as a Civil War re-enactment,” McPherson said. “It’s being treated with some kind of dignity and as a living, breathing, functioning thing. Just trying to do something maybe a little different with it. I’m really not sure.”
ON THE RECORD McPherson’s debut album “Signs and Signifiers” was released first in 2010 on bandmate Jimmy Sutton’s Hi-Style Records (Sutton also produced) and then widely redistributed by Rounder Records in 2012. It is a surefire good-time album, heavily rooted in ’50s R&B but with glimmers of experimentation, in inspiration, in instrumentation and in a tight lyricism — with meaning — that’s easy to overlook if you’re just trying to have a good time. “Let the Good Times Roll,” released in February, is the other side of the coin. According to McPherson, “Every aspect of this record is different in every possible way than the first time around.” Notably, the new album features production from Mark Neill (The Black Keys, Old 97’s) and includes McPherson’s longtime touring band (bassist Sutton,
drummer Jason Smay, pianist Ray Jacildo and saxophonist/guitarist Doug Corcoran) performing the instrumentation. McPherson said about the studio experience, “I would be lying if I said that I hadn’t lifted the thing and placed it squarely on my own shoulders. But I do know the band very well, and it was wonderful to be able to put some trust in some people.” That trust didn’t materialize easily, as McPherson notes he was hesitant to bring his new batch of songs to the table. “I’ll just be honest; I was in a really paranoid place with these new songs,” he said. “I didn’t show the songs to anyone until we got to the studio. It was a strange journey, and difficult.” Why, with McPherson apparently at the top of his game and surrounded by his own band, would recording these songs be any harder than the last go-round? “That’s a controversial question, but let’s just say I had some very personal things to say, and I needed to do it in a sort of ‘plant my flag in the ground’ way,” McPherson said. “I needed to assert myself. I had some songs that were a direct product of a couple of hard things I’d gone through, and I needed to have control. I needed to wrangle control.” There are multiple biting lines on the record, like,

JD MCPHERSON
“Did you win a black ribbon for breaking hearts?” from “Bossy” and “I was shaky from the day that I started to walk / I carry such a heavy load” from “Shy Boy.” Then there’s the Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) co-write, the gently heartbreaking “Bridgebuilder” — “Wading in shadows and old merry times / I fear I may sink to the bottom.” The album benefits from the ebb and flow of rock beats with moments of anticipation ... weariness and energy, everything in its right place. “Let the Good Times Roll” is still in some ways a feel-good record — “It Shook Me Up” and the title track in particular — but it is, as McPherson said, vastly different from its predecessor in so many ways, and ironically titled, to boot. “It is absolutely,” McPherson said. “Almost no one gets that.”

Despite the hard knocks during the production of “Let the Good Times Roll,” it’s a bold step forward, a statement album not just for McPherson in the studio but in the broader terms of what JD McPherson is or, more easily identifiably, what he is not. He’s a former art teacher, a visual artist, filmmaker and avid consumer of literature and music. His rural, isolated Oklahoma upbringing afforded him “a lot of time to listen and read and draw...as opposed to whatever people do when they grow up around other people.” And likely due to this love of artistic consumption, he has a polite intensity about him when something piques his interest. “You remember how Jerry Maguire was great in

the living room? I’m terrible in the living room,” McPherson said. “A few of the people I admire whom I’ve met, I somehow scared them away. I’m trying to figure out how to stop that from happening. ... I hope Robert Plant and I hit it off well, but I’ve got a pretty poor track record. I get real excited.” This isn’t wholly unexpected. It’s pretty apparent that McPherson gets excited about stuff, and it would only take a glimpse of one performance to prove it. Onstage and in conversation, McPherson is personable and vivid and utterly without the jaded “patina” of an artist who’s lost touch with why he’s doing what he does. All of this, in some ways, makes him harder for people to read past the surface, I think. Yet I don’t actually detect any fear of artistic misunderstanding from McPherson, whose interviews in recent months have contained everything from being laid off from his teaching job to tales of songwriting inspiration drawn from “Frasier” episodes to him admitting he likes listening to his own album. “Nine times out of 10, they’re the same questions,” McPherson said, “but there’s a repository of things I haven’t revealed and probably never will. If people aren’t picking up on things, that’s probably my fault ... and also kind of a relief.” Perhaps all of that contributes to the indefinableness of JD McPherson, in a way — the not knowing what the mystery is, or not quite being able to tell if there is one. It’s a rock ’n’ roller who loses his cool in front of his idols. It’s not expecting to hear the hard truth from a nice guy. It’s the complex reality of letting the good times roll. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

HINDER
Oklahoma rockers emerge ‘When the Smoke Clears’

O
n the verge of a new record, drummer/ founder Cody Hanson and the rest of Hinder recognize that they’re at a precipice, no longer the fledgling OKC band playing clubs in 2001 nor the platinum-selling hard rock group behind 2005’s “Extreme Behavior.” Instead, Hinder is a working band, finding a new voice, both figuratively and literally. May 12 will see the release of “When the Smoke Clears,” their first record with new vocalist Marshal Dutton (after the 2013 departure of Austin Winkeler), to be followed by nationwide touring through the rest of the summer. Q: Tell me about the timeline of producing the new record. Cody Hanson: We started writing in January, so we’ve been working on it for a while. It was recorded here at my house (in Oklahoma City); I have a studio here. We’ve done our last three records here. Q: I read that you all have worked with Marshal Dutton for a long time in the studio. How did you approach him about actually joining the band? Hanson: It’s kind of a long story, but Marshal’s been involved in pretty much everything, as far as the band goes. We’ve been great friends for a long time. I value his opinion and always have. He was involved in searching for a new singer. We tried out several people and searched for quite a while, and one day
Page 12
May 6 - May 19, 2015
we just figured it out: He’s our guy, and what are we even doing? We kind of forced him into it I guess. It was very strange. He’s been here the whole time. He was always interested in doing it I think, but for whatever reason ... I don’t know why we didn’t just pull the trigger sooner. But the vibe on our bus has never been happier. Q: I think a lot of people have this idea of what Hinder sounds like based on your earlier hits, even though you don’t necessarily sound like that now. Have you experienced that? Hanson: That’s a concern of mine, especially going into this record. I’m afraid that instead of listening to the songs, people are going to just compare voices and just say that it’s not the same. Well that’s exactly the point; we don’t want it to be the same. I’ve already seen an album review where that’s the first thing the guy said — the voice is different. And he said it in a negative fashion but then went on to say that it didn’t mean the record was bad, but the voice is different. Well, no kidding, you know what I mean? Q: Does this feel like a new beginning for you? Or just the next step in a long transition? Hanson: It kind of does feel new again. When you first start out, you have to prove yourself. You have to put in the work, and it kind of feels like that’s what we’re doing again. We’re doing the things a new band does, going out on the road, going to radio stations in the morning and
doing acoustic performances. We’re working again, and it’s actually really nice to go out and do what a band is supposed to do. Q: Do you feel more liability to courting your existing fans or trying to find new ones? Hanson: At this point, we’ve accomplished a lot. Our main goal is just to be happy. We love making music and touring. Our goal is to just continue to do that. Q: I don’t think anyone would argue that Hinder is a “local” band anymore. So when you play here, does it feel like a homecoming? Hanson: Oh, absolutely. It always has a different vibe for whatever reason. It’s probably mental, on our part. I’m sure it’s really not different, but to us, it is. It’s special to play for friends and family and people you just bump into at bars and restaurants. You always want to come home and play a great show. Q: How has being from Oklahoma affected the type of band you’ve become? Hanson: It was very important for us in the beginning. There wasn’t a lot of pressure to follow the trends happening on the coast at the time. When we were getting started, the indie rock scene, all the “The” bands, you know what I mean? There wasn’t any pressure to follow that; that wasn’t taking off in Oklahoma like it was on the coast. We got to be ourselves and make the music we wanted to make. We got lucky, and it worked out. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON’
movie review
MOVIE REVIEW ‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON’ PG-13 2:22 2 stars Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo. (Intense sequences of sci-fi action, violence and destruction, and for some suggestive comments)
Showing its ‘Age,’ Avengers prove bigger isn’t better
S
ummer movie season is here, but let’s turn our brains on one last time and do some “Avengers: Age of Ultron” math. This is the 11th film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After three “Iron Mans,” one “Incredible Hulk,” two “Thors,” two “Captain Americas,” an “Avengers” and an exceptional “Guardians of the Galaxy” (plus 61 Marvel-based TV episodes), we finally have arrived at this sequel. Also, I’m being nice and leaving out some Spider-Mans and Batmans (just kidding, that’s DC Comics, calm down nerds). Sadly, the 11th time’s not a charm. If you’ve caught even half of these flicks, then you’ve already seen what “Avengers: Age of Ultron” has to offer. As shiny, beautiful and loud as it is, the movie had me wrestling with a mountain of deja vu well before the superhero spectacle hit hour two. I’ve seen dozens of comic book films in the past decade, and now I’m officially stuffed full on the Marvel diet. “Ultron” feels like a waiter insisting on offering me a dessert menu when all I really want is a “Guardians” sequel to go. The film begins with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and the Avengers crew recovering Loki’s staff from a Hydra hideout. The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) wearily warns Tony that it might not be a good idea to tinker with the staff, but the two unlock a terrible secret before Thor (Chris Hemsworth) can safely return it. That secret becomes Ultron (voiced by James Spader, channeling his inner “Joker”), an AI peacekeeping initiative gone super bonkers. His idea of
LOOKATOKC.COM
saving the world involves destroying it. Go suck a lemon, logic. It’s summertime. He’s the shiny, metallic standout that gives the film its most lively spark. Here’s my beef though: I’m tired of the worldhanging-in-the-balance routine. “Guardians,” although not wildly different from this offering, felt like a huge breath of fresh air simply because it had a lot fun with its ideas. “Ultron” is more interested in making a splash. It’s bigger, louder and faster than any of its previous counterparts. Too bad bigger doesn’t mean better and faster doesn’t mean smarter. Have you seen Cap throw his shield? Have you seen Hulk smash? Have you seen Tony Stark make a dry, smug comment? Have you seen Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) never run out of arrows? Have you seen Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) become eye candy in half of her scenes? No way; me too. And I’ve even seen the film’s speedy new character done better in “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” So, my question is, how comfy are you with the same? I’m ready for something different. More than anything, I wanted the film’s action to be smarter. The fight scenes are either so busy or quick that I could rarely see what was happening. It’s the same knee-jerk video game-styled action that makes the fight scenes in the “Transformers” series so borderline unwatchable. If everything is happening on the screen at once, then it’s more like nothing is happening at all. It’s impossible to keep up with, and it’s just flashy to distract from the film’s shortcomings. My suggestion? Make like Simon and Garfunkel and slow down because you move too fast.
“Ultron” is unnecessarily intense, too. So many innocent civilians get creamed. A guy’s arm just gets ripped off at one point. It doesn’t feel the least bit cartoony when it happens. Also, it’s bloodier than any previous entry. I’m sure that won’t slow down the overwhelming amount of weirdos that take their toddlers to R-rated films, but it still felt a bit too gruesome. “Ultron” also contains the same hollow, dumb thinking that plagued “Iron Man 3.” Remember when Tony was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder for about two minutes and then shook it off? That junk is all over this movie. And instead of one character, it spreads to each Avenger. If you can’t make it work well for one character then what makes you think it’ll work for all of them? Logic feels like such an afterthought in “Ultron.” I know most people aren’t catching an Avengers film to watch their favorite superheroes be thoughtful and reflective, right? We wanna see Hulk smash. This go boom. That go wham. Our heroes don’t do a great job of handling their emotional hang-ups, so why does “Ultron” spend so much time on it? This film doesn’t juggle drama, action and humor gracefully. “Ultron” will surely destroy some box office records, and I don’t expect many people to pick at the problems that I’m noticing. Mostly because people in my theater clapped before the film even started. So, I’ve just had enough of this flavor, and I’m not hungry for an extra scoop of it. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

‘EX MACHINA’
MOVIE REVIEW ‘EX MACHINA’ R 1:50 ★★★★ Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. (Graphic nudity, language, sexual references and some violence)
‘Ex’ marks the spot in engaging robot sci-fi flick
T
he best film of 2015 (so far) hits theaters Friday. “Ex Machina” (pronounced maw-kina) doesn’t differ greatly from a lot of science fiction in its slick look and feel. Its ideas and smart, thrilling approach are what make it extraordinary. Director/writer Alex Garland, who’s responsible for the incendiary scripts of “28 Days Later” and “Sunshine,” crafts the story of Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson, yeah, it’s Brendan’s son), a coder who works at a Google-esque Web company. He wins a competition at work that sends him to a remote lab to work alongside the company’s reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), to tinker with “the greatest scientific event in the history of man.” To be accurate, it’s more woman than man. A robot one. Her name is Ava (Alicia Vikander, brilliant here), and it’s her artificial intelligence that needs testing. It’s up to Smith to see if her personality is more than just zeros and ones. Head’s up: It is. Vikander donned a unique mesh Ava suit during filming that was later topped with special effects such as her glowing abdomen and transparent arms and legs. Ava doesn’t seem like a robot, though. Her design more resembles a slick concept car, and her movement is fluid. Her character is capable of a wide range of emotions. Ava doesn’t carry a hint of
Page 14
May 6 - May 19, 2015
stiffness, and that comes from using a real actor and not from a completely CGI creation. Ava joins Chappie (of Neill Blomkamp’s “Chappie”) as another groundbreaking film where the robotic character seems just as human as anyone else onscreen. A dizzying, bizarre love triangle begins forming between the two coders and Ava. The friction between the housemates is visceral. What “Ex Machina” does with a handful of characters, most films struggle to do with dozens. Less is more, and the results couldn’t be duplicated with 100 pressure cookers. There’s rarely a moment that doesn’t evoke mystery or unnerving suspense. And there’s a reason Isaac’s first name is Oscar. With “Ex Machina” and his credits during the past couple of years, he’s proven to be one of the best working actors in Hollywood today. I can’t say enough about how impactful his performance is in “Ex Machina” as he teeters between
steely genius and drunken manipulator. I sure didn’t know who to trust until the final minutes of the film. That’s a big part of what makes this the most engaging, intelligent science fiction flick in years. Great character development, superb storytelling and a pitch-perfect cast makes this film feel significant and not a bit robotic. “Ex Machina” isn’t fast, but it’s furiously entertaining. Don’t miss it. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

reativity is usually on display in Oklahoma City’s dining culture, but 2015 is shaping up to be more memorable than usual. We’ve already had rock god Jack White stir controversy with his guacamole fetish, which was part of a tour rider delivered to the University of Oklahoma before a performance in February, but that isn’t nearly the biggest thing that’s happened in Oklahoma City’s food scene thus far. Chef Jonathon Stranger has purchased a farm that will become one of the state’s premiere dining and entertainment venues in Carlton Landing. The first conversation I ever had with Stranger about six years ago he revealed that his long-term goal was to purchase a farm that he could use to be ground-zero for his chef-driven endeavors. The new farm is near Lake Eufaula and has a schedule of events forming for the year, including Outstanding in the Field in October. The farm also will establish a Community-Assisted Agriculture program and host community dinners. For more information, go online to carltonlanding.com. As if building a reputation as the market’s most-respected chef weren’t enough, Kurt Fleischfresser has taken on the tallest task in the city in overseeing culinary operations at Vast in the Devon Tower. Fleischfresser’s task was to revitalize private and corporate events, revamp the menu and improve service. So far, so good, but that wasn’t enough for Fleischfresser who also piloted the first Turning the Tables on Hunger event at the Homeless Alliance and was primed to act as celebrity chef for the Wine Forum of Oklahoma on April 10-11. Cafe Kacao, one of the city’s hottest three breakfast spots and killer lunch to boot, will open a new concept in downtown Oklahoma City. The new spot will be called La Condesa and serve lunch and breakfast. While Cafe Kacao is known for Guatemalan cuisine, La Condesa is named after a section of Mexico City, which will inspire the new menu. The space La

DAVE CATHEY Condesa will occupy is adjacent to the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library. Previous occupants include The First Edition Cafe and Hemingway’s. West is opening a second location in the space formerly occupied by Nonna’s Ristorante in Bricktown. In March, owner Avis Scaramucci signed over the space to the Haynes brothers, who founded the original West on Western Avenue and Urban Johnnie’s based on the Johnnie’s Charcoal Broiler concept their father founded and they continue to own and operate. A Good Egg Dining Group owners Keith and Heather Paul recently were named Urban Pioneer Award winners by the 16th Street Plaza District Association for their continued efforts to revitalize the community. To prove they’re not done, Good Egg will expand its Tucker’s Onion Burgers holdings into Norman and open The Drake, the city’s first new independent seafood restaurant in decades. The Drake will occupy the keystone space on the corner of NW 23 and Walker in The Rise development. Executive chef of The Drake will be Chad Willis, formerly of The Metro Wine Bar and Bistro, Saturn Grill and The George Prime Steakhouse. H&8th kicked off in late March and throngs of people showed up to show the love affair with food trucks had not waned. In fact, Bleu Garten food truck court has done brisk business when conditions are right and along with Elliott Nelson concepts Fassler Hall and the Dust Bowl and The R&J Lounge and Supper Club from Stranger and his partner chef Russ Johnson filled the void in Midtown between the 10th Street circle and the east side of Automobile Alley. Meanwhile, the food truck world saw Roxy’s Ice Cream Social add bricks and mortar to its arsenal, opening a store in the heart of the Plaza District at 1732 NW 16, between brand-new Oak and Ore and last year’s runaway success, Empire Slice House. Guernsey Park has opened its first spinoff restaurant with Covell Park, 1200 W Covell Road in Edmond. The Asian-inspired restaurant that bridges the gap between

classic cuisines and those of the Far East is located just steps from Uptown Grocery Co. Chris Lower and chef Kathryn Mathis have expanded their impressive holdings to include Pizzeria Gusto, which serves Neapolitan-style pizzas and an impressive array of Mediterranean tapas. With Big Truck Tacos, Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs and Back Door BBQ already in hand, pizza was the next natural step. All this despite crude oil prices going into free-fall last year. But progress comes with a cost. INDUSTRY’S LOSSES The passage of time always wins as proven by the loss of local wine and spirits pioneer Wayne Hirst, who passed away in March, but left behind a legacy of well-stocked wine bars, restaurants and liquor stores. He’s also the namesake of the state’s annual hospitality and service awards ceremony. We lost VZD’s, though chef Eric Smith (Sara Sara Cupcakes and Pierre Pierre Creperie) is on the verge of re-imagining the concept. Local closed in Norman, Kyle’s 1025 closed, ending a long line of successful restaurants to run out of the former Kentucky Club. The Haunted House goes on the auction block because co-founder and owner Marian Thibault, 89, has fallen ill. Marian, like Florence Jones-Kemp, is one of the city’s restaurant survivors. Now, she must concentrate her considerable tenacity on her health, which won’t be easy after spending the better part of a half-century in the spooky confines off Miramar. Here’s hoping a local restaurateur steps up to extend the shelf-life of this ongoing ghost story. That would’ve been enough to fill out many full years in the local food scene, but we’re not even halfway through and the news is only going to intensify, according to my industry sources. So, put your napkin in your lap, mind your posture and keep your elbows off the table because Oklahoma City’s food-service professionals are barely done serving appetizers for 2015.

was sunburned and dehydrated when I finally saw Chester — the waving, neon cowboy that stands guard over the old Winchester Drive-In Theatre — appear on the horizon on S Western Avenue. I had come a little more than 19 miles on my walk down Western Avenue. I started four days earlier about 270 blocks north on a damp Monday morning, slogging down the muddy shoulder of a country road punctuated with brief respites of sidewalk. For days, I had been calling Winchester owner Lindy Shanbour seeking an interview as I slouched slowly south toward his drive-in at SW 70 and Western. “We’re still getting the place ready to open for the season,” Shanbour told me, seeming a bit more annoyed and puzzled with me each time I called. “Can’t you just come back in a few weeks when we’re open?” I’m sure it was hard for Shanbour — who is well past 80 and opened the Winchester in 1968 — to understand me as I shouted into my cellphone over the wind and the traffic. “But you don’t understand — I’m walking there. I’m walking there right now,” I said. “Right now? But I’m not there right now — I’m at lunch,” he would say. I called back again — and again — trying to explain.
LOOKATOKC.COM
For the five days of my 26.7-mile walk down Western, I marked progress in the major highways I would pass — the John Kilpatrick Turnpike; Interstates 44, 40 and 240. At the end of most days, a photographer or another co-worker would pick me up and take me back to wherever I had left my car that morning. As we drove, I saw my walk in reverse — like an old VHS tape on rewind. It would only take about 10 or 15 minutes to cover the ground it took me all day to walk. Everything seemed smaller — less important — from the passenger seat.
WHY WALK WESTERN? When I first moved to the Oklahoma City metro area about 12 years ago, it seemed to me an endless, bland tangle of highways, chain restaurants and parking lots. At 607 square miles, Oklahoma City is the third-largest city by land size in the United States. By walking across it, I hoped to learn more about the people who inhabited some of those 607 square miles between the major highways and how the neighborhoods where they live are changing. I picked Western Avenue because it crosses some of Oklahoma City’s richest and poorest neighborhoods, from North Highlands to Nich-

ols Hills in a matter of miles. It also traverses thriving immigrant communities, including Oklahoma City’s Asian District and southwest Oklahoma City’s growing Hispanic business community. I saw firsthand the effects of urban sprawl and decades of poor planning — large patches of undeveloped land in the inner city surrounded by vacant, crumbling buildings, while construction of new housing subdivisions and strip malls steamed ahead on the outskirts of the city. I saw people trying to breathe new life into the urban spaces their parents and grandparents abandoned for better schools and threebedroom homes on quarter-acre lots in places like Edmond, Moore and Yukon. I saw a city trying to put its core back together even as it was flinging itself farther and farther from that center. Everywhere I walked, I met great people, people who wanted to help me by giving me something to drink, a place to sit down for a few minutes — people who told me their stories just because I bothered to ask.
WALK IN AT THE DRIVE-IN A few miles north of the Winchester, I called Shanbour again — told him I was in the neigh-

borhood — and he grudgingly said I could stop by. “But you can’t take my picture,” he said grouchily. Shanbour, a slight, white-haired man wearing a polo shirt, greeted me with hands on hips standing behind his desk in his office at the Winchester — a wood-paneled room behind the snack bar covered in old movie posters and black-and-white photographs of John Wayne. I’m sure I looked like no reporter he’d ever seen. Windblown, wearing cut-off jean shorts and sneakers caked in dried mud, I stuck out my hand. “I walked all the way here to meet you,” I said. I pulled out one of the now-crumpled blackand-white fliers I had made the week earlier to explain my walk to people I met along the way. The flier had a picture of Chester, the neon cowboy sign, on it. Making it to Shanbour’s drive-in was a milestone of sorts for me in my trek. “You mean you really walked here?” Shanbour said, baffled, looking at the paper and then back at me. A smile spread across his face and in that instant, Shanbour transformed from grouchy drive-in theater owner to nicest man in the world. He told me about how he started in the

theater business as a 15-year-old usher in 1945 at the long-ago demolished Criterion theater in downtown Oklahoma City — which still had dressing rooms for the old vaudeville acts that used to pass through. He told me how he plans to keep running the Winchester for as long as he can. “This place is a part of me,” he said. “There are so many memories here.” In 2013, the Winchester saw heavy damage from a tornado that ripped the roof off the drive-in’s projector room and snack bar. Shanbour vowed to rebuild. “Everyone wanted me to close it and sell — but I wouldn’t,” Shanbour said. Before Netflix and HBO GO, The Winchester was open seven days a week, almost yearround. But families with young children still fill the place on the weekends for a double-feature during the warmer months. “We have to turn people away every weekend,” Shanbour said proudly. I was four-fifths of the way to Indian Hills Road in Norman — where my walk and Western Avenue would end.

N Western, where a muddy stream crosses mostly overgrown fields crossed by barbed-wire fences. Western is two-lane road in this rural area where Edmond and Oklahoma City meet. In my backpack, I had water, a stack of empty notebooks, pens, a portable phone charger, water and sunscreen. I passed rambling country estates behind wrought-iron gates and newer, smaller homes that mostly looked the same in subdivisions with names like Danforth Farms and Rushbrook. It seems I passed by an endless number of fences. The nicer subdivisions were encircled by imposingly high brick fences, while the humbler neighborhoods had only six-foot wooden ones. Construction crews are widening this part of Western Avenue to accommodate more traffic from the growing number of homes being built in the area, and there are no sidewalks for long stretches. My sneakers were caked with mud and my calves hurt by mid morning from plodding through tall grass at the roadside. A few shopping centers of the “when-didthey-build-that-there” variety — all landscaped with scrawny saplings — seemed to punctuate every 20 blocks or so. It’s a quiet area — home to mostly young

few high-profile shootings over the past few years. I ignored them. There was a little more garbage in the gutter — candy bar wrappers and liquor bottles. But I didn’t feel unsafe. I met convenience store clerk Sean Kandel — a college student from Nepal — who works a register behind bulletproof glass at Hefner and Western. He did not want me to use the name of the store where he works. A flat-screen television, mounted to the ceiling, plays the feeds for a half-dozen security cameras in and around the shop. Kandel told me about all of the television news helicopters that hovered over the area during an officer-involved shooting that happened in the neighborhood in January. “Eighty percent of the people you meet here are good people,” he said. “There are families here.” Terrance Johnson, a young guy with a tattoo on his right hand, wearing an Oklahoma City Thunder T-shirt, looked at me like I was little nuts when I approached him on the street corner near the 7-Eleven at Hefner and Western, but he still stopped to talk and said I could take his picture. “It’s not that dangerous here,” he said. “It’s all what you make of it — if you run with that
families with pretty good jobs, said Samantha Goddard, manager of the Cork & Bottle, a liquor store situated next to a 7-Eleven at NW 164 and Western. “This is kind of the gray area between Edmond and Oklahoma City,” Goddard said.
DAY 2 - GOOD PEOPLE It was the second day of my walk when I crossed Memorial Road and the John Kilpatrick Turnpike, where construction is underway on the 180-acre Chisholm Creek development. The development includes an 80,000-square-foot Cabela’s sporting goods store that is being built with the help of about $3.5 million in incentives from Oklahoma City. The multitude of newer housing developments halts abruptly on the south side of Memorial Road, where there are large stretches of weedy, undeveloped vacant lots. The void begins south of NW 122 — about where the boundary of the Oklahoma City Public Schools district begins. Before I started my walk, probably half a dozen people told me I did not want to walk alone near the intersection of Hefner and Western, even in broad daylight. It’s been the scene of a Brianna Bailey. Photo By Steve Gooch, for LOOKatOKC

crowd, you’ll get trouble, but if not, it’s not that bad.” I continued south toward the old town of Britton, once its own municipality, which was annexed by Oklahoma City long ago. There are mature trees and rows of early 20th-century clapboard houses, pretty, despite their peeling paint and weedy lawns. The intersection of Western and Britton Road is now part of the North Highland neighborhood, one of the city’s poorest areas. Dan Short, founder of Mustard Seed Development Corp., manages the nonprofit out of a restored airplane bungalow on Britton Road, with beautiful hand-hewn wooden floors a block and a half east of Western. With his long white beard, Short looks a little like Moses with tortoise shell glasses — and he has been known to moonlight as Santa Claus. Short moved to North Highland in 2001 to minister to the people in the 73114 ZIP code, which includes North Highland. More than 29 percent of households in the 73114 ZIP code had received food stamp benefits in the last 12
months, according to 2013 data from the U.S. Census Bureau. About 31 percent of families in the 73114 ZIP code live below the federal poverty line. In the 1960s and 1970s, North Highland was a neighborhood where blue-collar families could afford to buy their own white-trimmed bungalows, but after the oil bust of the 1980s, many of those homes fell into foreclosure and became rental properties that accepted Section 8 housing vouchers, Short said. Many of those families from the area that receive housing assistance now are choosing to move to newer apartment complexes in places like Yukon and Moore, which have better schools, Short said. There are a lot of vacant homes in North Highlands now, he said. “The poor aren’t stupid. They see that they can rent a new apartment in Yukon and have their kids go to better schools,” he said. “A lot of what we do is just teaching people to be good neighbors — people have forgotten how,” Short said. “The things that keep us from building a better life together are fear and isola-
tion.” Just a few miles south of North Highland lies Nichols Hills, one of the state’s wealthiest areas, with a median income of $148,000 in 2013, according to U.S. Census Bureau data — that’s more than triple the Oklahoma City metro area median income of $49,752. South of Interstate 44, the core of Western Avenue’s bustling shopping district is filled with boutiques and restaurants. The area is now trying to compete with newer, up-and-coming shopping districts like the trendy nearby Plaza District and Uptown 23rd, with their many newer bars and restaurants. VZD’s, a legendary music venue and a neighborhood anchor for this stretch of Western, was shut down by the Oklahoma Tax Commission late last year, although plans are in the works to reopen. Oklahoma City recently dropped the speed limit on this stretch of Western from 30 mph to 25 mph, and the neighborhood is in the process of getting new sidewalks to make it more pedestrian friendly, said Rachael Taylor, who works with the Western Avenue Association to

Festival of the Arts PHOTO AND WORDS BY DOUG HOKE
rtists have style that not only is reflected in their work but also how they dress, including their hats. A couple of years ago while talking with local artist Jim Keffer at the Festival of the Arts, I noticed that his hat had, should we say, personality. It was an old straw hat with holes in the top. I discovered that he wears the same hat at all of his outdoor shows. It made me take extra notice of the other artists and their hats. That gave me the idea for a portrait project at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of the Arts, Artist and Their Hats.
