Episode 3 delves into a lot of things going on around OKC: Cookies and other sweets, a taste test of the new Sonic Mocktail Slushes (including the Reaper Spicy Margarita), and a moment of commiseration over the departure of OKC’s favorite adopted son, Russell Westbrook. We also discuss Riversport's Saturday Floating Films series, 84 Hospitality’s new Japanese yakitori concept Gun in the Paseo Arts District, Steve Mason’s Yale Theater redevelopment in Capitol Hill, the relaunch of abetterlifeokc.com, and some info about Tower Theatre’s new Projector Club and an interview with Tower Theatre’s Operating Partner Chad Whitehead.
