For LOOKatOKC
“Despicable Me 3” lacks the emotional depth and necessity to justify yet another installation to its franchise. After two previous “Despicable Me” films and a spinoff “Minions” movie, the fourth addition needed to prove the value of carrying on the saga of Gru (Steve Carell) and his familiar gang instead of packing it in. Unfortunately, “Despicable Me 3” leaves much to be desired with its predictable plot, drawing questions as to why this movie was even necessary — besides the common studio ploy of bankrolling from a popular film brand. That’s not to say the movie was bad. It just seemed more like a placeholder to launch another sequel than an asset that built upon and strengthened its franchise.
Subplots abound in this movie, but few of them contribute to the main storyline. Several scenes could have been left on the cutting room floor, and the movie would have reached its conclusion all the same. Former criminal mastermind Gru and his wife, Lucy (Kristen Wiig), lose their jobs at the Anti-Villain League, and the firing comes as a serious disappointment to the couple and their three daughters, Margo, Edith and Agnes. Gru, seeing an opportunity to regain his and Lucy’s jobs, concocts a plan of action. This puts Gru and his family on a collision course with the villain Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker). Bratt, a worshipper of all things ‘80s, is one of the highlights of the film. His entertaining dance moves and funky ‘80s music splash some much-needed color on a relatively humdrum story. An early twist in Gru’s origins leads to an
interesting reveal, but the movie fails to fully capitalize on the chance to pack a sentimental punch. Gru receives shocking news that he has a long-lost twin brother, Dru, who was raised by the father Gru believed had died years ago. The unexpected family connection should have given “Despicable Me 3” enough depth and heart to make it a standout. Instead, it shies away from the range of emotions that would naturally follow such a revelation. All complaints aside, Carell does a fantastic job providing distinct voices for Gru and Dru. Wiig, Parker and the rest of the voice acting cast deliver strong performances, as well. The film’s juggling of unnecessary subplots ultimately stalls the main storyline and takes time away from the emotional development it needs. “Despicable Me 3” has characters and moments that shine, but it doesn’t pay its franchise’s keep.

hemes of “The Hero” shine from its first scene with Sam Elliott’s equally deep acting and voice. “Lone Star Barbecue Sauce, the perfect partner for your chicken.” Lee Hayden (Elliott) repeats the line over and again in a recording studio, visibly questioning how he could read the slogan differently for producers.

the movie’s tone. Viewers can read the disappointment and irritation on his face, seeing writer and director Brett Haley’s first indication of his film’s muted comedy and enduring reflection. The situation poses two questions: How did I get here, and what should I do next? These questions nag Hayden as he finds annoyance and amusement in a modern era that holds little place for him. Once the hammer of a cancer diagnosis drops, the old, gruff Western star begins to contrast his former film success with the failures of his personal
life. So far, he has been taking life day-by-day, buoyed with dying hope and plenty of marijuana. Cancer and the odds of death steer Hayden to a different course. He reflects on his life and finds glaring regrets, especially regarding his family. Hayden attempts to repair those relationships by reaching out to his ex-wife Valerie (Katharine Ross), an art enthusiast, and his estranged daughter Lucy (Krysten Ritter). For years, Hayden put his career first and neglected to devote a proper amount of time to them. Lucy is especially reluctant to make amends after a lifetime of feeling abandoned and let down. Haley brilliantly reveals Hayden’s emotions from the complicated father-daughter relationship through a scene with an audition script. The script’s lines are reminiscent of Hayden’s broken connection with Lucy, and reading them reduces him to tears. Hayden’s Western film star persona is juxtaposed with Nick Offerman’s entertaining character, Jeremy, a longtime friend and pot dealer. Their strange, drug-fueled friendship brings plenty of laughs and insights into the film’s underlying motifs of success, death and hope. Jeremy, most importantly, introduces Hayden to the fun-loving comedian Charlotte (Laura Prepon), and the two quickly hit it off. As their relationship deepens, Charlotte becomes invested in Hayden’s cancer battle. She encourages him to persist and pursue treatment though he seems willing to wither away. The connection between the 30-something and the old man is odd, but the chemistry between Elliott and Prepon is undeniably strong. I came into this movie expecting to feel SEE ELLIOTT, 7

uncomfortable with the idea of an intimate relationship between the two, but their bond develops organically, showing how this couple legitimately seems well matched. Despite the star-studded cast around him, Elliott carries the movie with a memorable performance. He was subtle, funny and powerfully emotional when he needed to be. “The Hero” doesn’t follow the trope of an old man stuck in a modern age but rather shows someone who has lived in and adjusted to this era like his younger counterparts. Hayden still dreams, though, of times spent in a cowboy hat and boots.
M OV I E R E V I E W
Hayden’s deepest conflict is with the perceived imminence of death. With cancer breathing down his neck, Hayden recognizes his mistakes and tries to reconcile before there’s no time left. Here is when Elliott’s acting reaches another level. Elliott doesn’t allow his character’s age and illness to make him “other.” Rather, he contributes deep humanity to the role and shows how many of us would struggle with the end of our lives mounting on the horizon. “The Hero” takes slow steps in its pacing. I suppose that’s to be expected from a film about an old man reaching the end of the road. Instead of logging this as a complaint, though, I would suggest viewers sit back, have a laugh and watch Elliott put on an acting clinic.

FESTIVAL PUTS FILMMAKERS
IN THE SPOTLIGHT BY NURIA MARTINEZ-KEEL, VICTOR QUEZADA AND NATHAN POPPE For LOOKatOKC
F
ilmmakers and festivalgoers ran wild at June’s deadCenter Film Festival. They scurried from venue to venue throughout downtown Oklahoma City as they participated in screenings, interviews and panels. The festival highlighted creativity, new moviemaking tools and encouraged expression through films that don’t normally land in Oklahoma theaters. Movie enthusiasts sat shoulder-to-shoulder with creators in crowded theaters and parties as both shared their love of cinema. Longtime festival organizer Lance McDaniel said the weekend of events culminated from months of work. His team, consisting mostly of volunteers, received roughly 1,200 film submissions for the festival. Judges rated each film on a scale of 1-10, and the top 102 made it to the screen. “It’s really fun for me that we’ve got the winners of Sundance (and) the winners of South by Southwest playing right alongside the best films from Oklahoma,” McDaniel told LOOKatOKC. “That’s really what our festival is about.” Check out our favorite films and observations from the 17th rendition of deadCenter.

1. It’s hard not to smile after hearing trumpets blare the “Star Wars” theme. “Score: A Film Music Documentary” hit viewers in the sweet spot with a mix of nostalgia and musical grandeur. After the credits rolled, audience members were eager to ask the film’s producers questions during a Q&A opportunity. I was grateful the movie illustrated the highs of the soaring “Lord of the Rings” theme and “E.T.’s” touching goodbye. “Score” illuminated film’s musical masters at work, whether at a keyboard, conductor’s stand or behind a computer screen. Hearing from the composers was as fulfilling as listening to their familiar melodies. — Nuria Martinez-Keel SEE FILMS, 9

2. Not all of the films at deadCenter were quite as heartwarming. “The Scent of Rain & Lightning” portrayed a young woman’s search for answers concerning her parents’ death. The complex web of characters unfolded as the plot quickly moved toward a finale that left behind a few lingering questions. Members of the production, including screenwriter Jeff Robison and actor Brad Carter, fielded questions from the audience after the screening. Carter enthusiastically shared stories from the film’s set, revealing a bright side opposite his villainous performance. — NMK 3. Okie filmmaker Ryan Bellgardt (“Gremlin”) hosted a discussion with prominent deadCenter directors, including Bob Byington (“Infinity Baby”), Neil Berkeley (“Gilbert”) and Mickey Reece (“Mickey Reece’s Alien”). Bellgardt, Berkeley and Reece are all from Oklahoma. Bellgardt said he wanted to emphasize his intention to not have his films taken seriously, but instead allow viewers to have a good time watching them. Bellgardt’s LOOKATOKC.COM

“Gremlin” was an over-the-top horror film in which the protagonist loses his loved ones thanks to a monster in a box. “Every negative review goes away through others that care about your films,” Bellgardt said. “When the films personally affect someone in ways you would never imagine it could hit them with, that is what filmmaking is all about.” Reece of “Mickey Reece’s Alien” discussed his admiration of filmmaking, as well as the growth of deadCenter. “It is one of the biggest festivals in Oklahoma to be a part of,” Reece said. “The other great thing is being with fellow filmmakers that share the same idea for storytelling.” Berkeley’s latest work at deadCenter was “Gilbert,” a documentary about the life of famed comedian Gilbert Gottfried and his approach to acting, as well as his personal struggles. “DeadCenter’s definitely one of the most enjoyable festivals to be a part of because they take care of you,” Berkeley said. — Victor Quezada

Moderator Kim Voynar held a panel alongside Stina Hamlin (“Say Our Name”), Lacey Leavitt (“Eagle Bone” and “Potato Dreams”) and Jess Kantor (“La Sorcellerie”). “We are currently in the third wave of virtual reality,” Voynar told LOOKatOKC. The panelists wanted patrons to know the importance of seeing a new type of filmmaking. Several VR headsets were available for testing at 21c. “We are currently trying to discover the proper 360 vision for film because of what we were supposed to learn watching movies is straight ahead and not all around,” Voynar said.
The panel wanted to address the importance of watching virtual reality in not only films but also in art. “Watching dance from a seat is entertaining, but actually seeing it up close and all around you brings a new type of feeling to the art,” Hamlin said. — VQ
5. DeadCenter was wise to have its annual fundraiser a couple weeks before the festival. Normally, it lands on the same week as the film celebration, but this year it occurred in May. Gary Busey was the guest of honor and the event built a lot of extra attention. Plus, I think a lot of festival organizers got more sleep during the week of deadCenter than they’re used to. — Nathan Poppe 6. It’s not deadCenter without a party or three. SEE FILMS, 11

Okies in Muskogee G Fest music festival is still searching for its groove BY NATHAN POPPE | LOOKatOKC Editor

uskogee’s G Fest turned 2 in June. It’s one of Oklahoma’s youngest outdoor music festivals aiming for huge crowds, and the celebration is still searching for a groove. G Fest’s ambition is big. Lineups feature dozens of bands and year two headliners ranged from recognizable country-leaning acts such as Blackberry Smoke and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band to rockers NEEDTOBREATHE and Creedance Clearwater Revisited. There’s even an EDM set geared toward a younger crowd. G Fest also focused on honoring Oklahoma greats with tribute sets for Leon Russell, Tom Skinner and Merle Haggard. The talent is there, including a large assortment of living Okie songwriters. The stages are set, but the reception seems a little cold, even in the summer heat. There’s enough space for thousands to fit inside G Fest’s Hatbox Field, and the most patrons I’ve counted at the main stage is roughly a few SEE G FEST, 14

G FEST CONTINUED FROM 13 hundred. I’ve attended the opening Thursday night of the festival both years. I get that I’m checking in earlier than the bigger crowds, but G Fest is designed with enormous attendance in mind for every night of its three-day run. Camping grounds, a full day of concerts and the sprawling infrastructure hints at that. I want more for G Fest because of the talent involved and its potential to become a summer music festival staple. There’s misting tents, kind volunteers, golf carts, shaded stages and water to help beat the heat. I’ve also noticed a lot of improvements between year one and two. But putting on an outdoor concert during an Oklahoma summer is a difficult task, and patrons are voting with their feet. And those feet love sitting in swimming pools. Despite the warm weather and a stormy curve ball, I’ve always enjoyed myself at G Fest and hope to see it grow. Here’s a few observations from the festival’s second rendition.

After overcoming a few sound issues early in their set, the band found bounced back with a handful of bluegrass numbers. They somehow turned Paul McCartney’s “Get Back” into a banjo-picking delight.

STELLA MODERN
Still Stella
The new patio at Stella Modern Italian overlooks downtown.
Midtown eatery shines brighter than ever BY DAVE CATHEY For LOOKatOKC
S
tella Modern Italian opened in Midtown in 2010 with the look of an enduring concept: distinctive flavors, exciting beverage service and inviting atmosphere. Fast forward to 2017, and Stella continues to build on an already-strong reputation no matter how much its world changes. That’s the sign of a concept built to last. When Stella opened, the owner was Lori Tyler. She still owns the restaurant, but her last name is the one she was born with, Burson. Her original chef was Brian McGrew, but he left in 2012. The chef that followed, Jonathan Krell, did a phenomenal job pushing the menu forward and drawing a broader crowd. But he left in 2015. Those are the kind of changes that can be lethal to an average eatery, but Stella’s current executive chef, Melissa Aust, was there to face and help Burson overcome those challenges as executive chef two years ago this month. That’s helped Stella soar and shine far brighter than average as it turns 7 this year.
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME Aust, 46, came to town in 2011. What began as a quick stop to visit friends and family on her way home to California after a two-year cooking stint on Martha’s
PAGE 16
JULY 13–26, 2017
Vineyard ended up being as an extended stay. “I spent some time driving around OKC checking things out, seeing what it’s all about,” Aust explained from a sun-splashed chair in Stella’s back dining room. “I ended up applying for a job here and got it.” When Krell, who now minds the stove at Patrono, left two years ago Burson quickly offered the job to Aust. “I didn’t take the job right away,” Aust explained. “I just wasn’t sure if I was ready to take over; I wasn’t even sure how much longer I’d be in Oklahoma.” After a short time, she decided Stella was home and Oklahoma City has been a more delicious place to live ever since. Take for instance the risotto she made during our most recent visit. Dappled with fresh, sweet corn and bolstered by Mexican cotija cheese, this arborio-based and chicken-topped entree blends traditional Italian technique with the much-loved flavors of the region. Perhaps Aust’s wisest move as chef at Stella has been letting the big dog eat wood and spit fire. The spectacular wood-fired oven is the focal point
of the restaurant, greeting guests as they enter and dictating the menu with its cooking capacity. Six years building a relationship with the oven has made it Aust’s culinary mouthpiece. It affects the aforementioned risotto subtly. The chicken that accompanies it is a skin-on breast that’s roasted in the oven to ensure the final dish is kissed with smoke. Beyond the oven, Aust carries forward a tradition that’s in the restaurant’s DNA: local ingredients. “I work really hard to make sure we use local and organic ingredients when possible,” Aust said.
ENTER STELLA Burson had two decades banked in the food industry before she opened Stella in the spring of 2010, including as opening staff of the original Pepperoni Grill and more than a decade and a half as general manager of Boulevard Steakhouse in Edmond. SEE STELLA, 18

Bottles of wine and Champagne with messages of congratulations written on them are displayed near front entrance to Stella Modern Italian.
STELLA CONTINUED FROM 16 But her love affair with Italian cuisine goes back to Burson’s second year of college, which was spent studying abroad. The proof is in the curtains made of Italian fabric and the eye-catching wallpaper imported from Italy on the same roster as the Venetian glass fixtures, Knoll and Eames chairs, and Plyboo floors that team to adorn the front of her house. In effort to leave no detail unattended, Burson outfitted the north dining room with a cashmere curtain that converts it into a private room with a giant flat-screen television. Her restaurant is as comfortable and appealing a place to enjoy a glass of wine and cracker-crisp pizza (preferably prosciutto and roasted red grape) whether at the granite-top bar or open-air patio as there is in the city. At Aust’s urging, Burson added a huge patio to the south of the restaurant in time for spring. The new patio is the stage for live music and wine tastings Thursday nights. The restaurant is closed Mondays, but Aust isn’t afraid to work on her day off to offer a special wine dinner as she did last week. That evening, Aust pumped out a four-course dinner matched with Bastianich wines that delivered a succession of oohs and ahhs. A three-mushroom ragout harboring an egg yoke in a bed of pappardelle was my favorite moment during the highlight-riddled occasion.

The Oklahoma musician had a date to play at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, and he was determined not to miss it. “In 2004, WoodyFest was just after our terrible helicopter crash. Ben and Coop were still hospitalized, and I talked my way out of the hospital on crutches … just so I could show up so we wouldn’t break the string. So, yes, we’ve been there every year,” recalled Piccolo,
When: Through July 16 Where: Various venues in Okemah Admission: Twoday wristbands are $50 and three-day wristbands are $75 at the festival.

I said, ‘Look, I need to get out of here,’ and I explained it. … It’s our favorite festival of all time for us. We’ve been part of it every year, and it hits so close to home. Woody was like our No. 1 influence probably, so we just couldn’t ask for a more perfect festival for us to play.” For two decades, hundreds of musicians and music fans have made the yearly trek to Okemah to pay homage to the late, legendary folk singer-songwriter in his hometown on the week closest to his July 14, 1912, birthday. The 20th Annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, which runs through July 16 will feature several of Woody Guthrie’s musical relatives, including headliner Arlo Guthrie (the late Guthrie’s son), Sarah Lee Guthrie (the late Guthrie’s granddaughter), Cole Quest (the late Guthrie’s grandson), and Cathy Guthrie (the late
Guthrie’s granddaughter), who performs as folk duo Folk Uke with Amy Nelson (Willie Nelson’s daughter). They will be joined by WoodyFest regulars like Ellis Paul, Joel Rafael, Michael Fracasso, David Amram, Sam Baker and Nancy Apple, as well as acclaimed songwriters Terri Hendrix, Butch Hancock, Rod Picott, SONiA and Amy Speace. As usual, the festival also will include a strong contingent of Oklahoma talent honoring one of the most influential musicians ever born and bred in the Sooner State: John Fullbright, Wink Burcham, Jacob Tovar, Turnpike Troubadours, Miss Brown to You, Monica Taylor, Gabe Marshall, Levi Parham, Susan Herndon and more. “What made Woody Woody was the fact that he was from Oklahoma. He had a way of looking at things through the eyes of the common man. He wasn’t a big, megastar of the day or anything. He was just a troubadour,” Piccolo said. “That’s very

Forming a family Susan Herndon, an Oklahoma singer-songwriter who serves on the board of directors of the Woody Guthrie Coalition, the nonprofit that organizes WoodyFest, likens the event’s volunteer organizers and performers to a family. “I feel like WoodyFest and anybody who studies and plays his songs is a part of an extended family,” she said. “It’s a great family, and they’re all great players and songwriters and musicians. And I think that sure speaks a lot to have a family that has carried on what you’ve started.” Herndon, a former Okemah resident now based in Norman, said she still recalls the first time she played the LOOKATOKC.COM

festival about 15 years ago. She was enjoying the continuous music-making in the WoodyFest campgrounds when red dirt pioneer Jimmy LaFave invited her to another jam session. “LaFave pulled me over and said, ‘Hey, you need to come out to the parking lot and jam with us in the evenings. There’s an all-night jam in the parking lot,’ ” she recalled. “There’s just music everywhere there, and it’s still growing. It’s better than ever. I think the past two festivals have been even better. You know, we were in the red for a little bit, but we made some transitions … and now we’re out of the red. Everyone has worked really hard to keep it going and keep it at a great level.”
Paying tribute The 2017 festival will kick off at Okemah’s historic Crystal Theatre with

a tribute to LaFave, who died May 21 of cancer at 61. Along with members of LaFave’s band, Night Tribe, Andy Adams, the Burns Sisters, Greg Jacobs, the Red Dirt Rangers and more will perform at the separately ticketed event. “This is our chance to pay homage to him … and we’re so proud to be part of that,” said Piccolo, whose Rangers were inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame alongside LaFave earlier this month in Muskogee. “I’m really looking forward to that because he was such an important person in our career. He’s the first one that got the Red Dirt Rangers on stage.” This year’s festival also will include tributes to late red dirt songwriters Bob Childers and Tom Skinner, children’s events, songwriting workshops, open mics, poetry readings and featured speakers, along with live musical performances on five stages. Festivalgoers must buy wristbands to see the shows at
the Crystal Theatre and the outdoor Pastures of Plenty main stage, but admission is free to the other venues. As is customary, WoodyFest will close Sunday, July 16, at the Hoot for Huntington’s All-Star Jam, which raises funds for the Huntington’s Disease Society of America. Woody Guthrie died Oct. 3, 1967, of Huntington’s disease at 55. Plus, Mary Jo’s Pancake Breakfast, a Saturday morning tradition, was started as a Huntington’s disease research fundraiser by Woody Guthrie’s younger sister, Mary Jo Guthrie Edgmon, who in her 90s remains “a great matriarch for the whole festival,” Piccolo said. “We love her, and we do this for her and the Guthrie family, as well for the fans and people,” he said. “They had a few events there in Okemah before they even started the festival, which to me were like the seeds of what we have now. Back then, it was not uncommon to walk down the street July 13 - July 26, 2017

in Okemah and see signs in windows like ‘Don’t honor this commie.’ … He’s embraced now, and the voice against him is not near what it was. And I’m glad to see that.”
Continuing a legacy The longtime musician said he believes it’s vital that songwriters continue Guthrie’s legacy as a champion of the downtrodden. “WoodyFest is more important than ever because what Woody stood for was speaking up against injustice,” Piccolo said. “I’ve seen it in a lot of the younger, up-and-coming songwriters. Protest music is making a comeback. People have things to say about our current situation, and folk music has always been a venue to express political discontent.” Fellow Oklahoma musician Beau Jennings will perform July 15 on the Pastures of Plenty Stage as the firstplace winner of this year’s WoodyFest Songwriting Contest. The Norman-based singer-songwriter won with “No One Can Destroy a Song,” which he penned last fall for a Tulsa benefit for the Standing Rock protesters in North
Dakota. “I did want them to hear the song, and I thought they would appreciate it. I’m really thankful they did, and they took a listen. Of course, it’s a huge honor,” he said. “Half the battle is finding an audience, and not only finding an audience, but the right one, the people that want to hear what you have to say. That can take a while to figure out, so any time someone is interested in a song I wrote, I’m just thrilled.” st few Playing WoodyFest the past ome to years, Jennings said he has come estival for prize the relatively humble festival best known know wn showcasing what Guthrie is best for: the power of song. “I just liked that it was a very erry direct channel from the artist to thee listener.

NEW FACE FOR FIRST NATIONAL
Redevelopment construction set to start in September BY STEVE LACKMEYER For LOOKatOKC
D
evelopers of First National Center are preparing to start conversion of two-thirds of the building into a 680-space garage in September as negotiations advance with Oklahoma City for tax increment financing assistance. The parking is part of a $230 million redevelopment that would convert the original 1931 Art Deco tower into housing and a hotel, while the 1957 and 1972 additions built to the east of the tower will be converted into a garage with retail on the ground floor.
LOOKATOKC.COM
The Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement that would allow for a $15.9 million loan to be obtained by Cornerstone Development CEO Gary Brooks and his partner, Charlie Nicholas. The loan would be issued within 180 days of completion of the garage. That money would be used to pay off a new market tax credits leverage loan to be used for the initial construction. Brent Bryant, who reviews economic development projects at City Hall, told the trust the deal requires performance by the developers before any money is lent toward the project.
He said the deal is structured to provide comfort to banks in financing the development. “We’re not doing any borrowing today,” Bryant said. “They’re doing all the borrowing.” Rob Garrett, representing Cornerstone Development, revealed the name of the hotel will likely be “The National.” He told the trust the $54 million garage will include a twostory gallery concourse on street level. “We’re looking at retail on the first floor,” Garrett said, “possibly an urban marketplace and incubator.”

NATIONAL CONTINUED FROM 23 Garage construction will be complete within two years of starting.
A CHANGE IN PLANS As part of the presentation, trustees were shown a rendering of the sleek, modern new facade where garage egress will be located facing Broadway in what was the 1972 addition. In a switch from original plans, the Park Avenue facade of the 1957 addition will be retained. “The original intent was to build a new garage,” Garrett said. “But from a historic standpoint, we weren’t able to do that, so we will repurpose what is there.”
The proposal presented in June is just one part of a series of public financing measures to be considered and voted on over the next 90 days. Public participation in the $230 million development has been anticipated for the past two years with the city council agreeing last year to create a $45 million tax increment financing district dedicated to First National Center. Other likely assistance requests will include a Section 108 federal HUD loan, a tool previously used in development of the Renaissance Hotel and the Skirvin Hotel. Garrett said the garage will open first, with the housing and hotel in the main tower to open a year later after three years of construction. The hotel will consist of about 145 rooms on the third through eighth floors of the tower, including the historic Great Banking Hall. Garrett said the hotel will cost about $100 million.
CITY NEWS
About 200 apartments, ranging from 500 to 2,300 square feet, will be built on the tower’s ninth through 30th floors. A rooftop bar and private club will be built in the former home of the Beacon Club on the 31st and 32nd floors. The housing development cost will total about $70 million. First National was built in 1931 and one of the city’s top historic landmarks. The building’s fortunes started to decline following the failure of First National Bank in 1987 and loss of its successor bank as an anchor in 1993. Conditions deteriorated and occupancy plunged as the property was sold to a series of out-of-state owners. The building emptied out in 2016 as utilities were cut off and questions surfaced about the involvement of a felon and who actually owned the property. It was then the property went into court-ordered receivership that ended with a sale to Brooks and Nicholas earlier this year.
The east 1972 addition to First National Center is the first portion of the sprawling complex to be gutted in advance of redevelopment into a hotel, housing, retail and a garage. The Broadway entrance shown in this photograph will be the egress to the new garage. [OKLAHOMAN ARCHIVES PHOTO]
