STAY ACTIVE
It’s a struggle to maintain an active lifestyle while on the road. Your hotel pool or treadmill is a good start, but here are a few options near downtown OKC where you can get your blood pumping while enjoying a change in scenery. CLIMBING Located just south of Bricktown, Rocktown Climbing Gym (rocktowngym.com) is the city’s premier climbing destination. Formerly a grain elevator, Rocktown offers indoor and outdoor climbs up to 90 feet, including top rope, lead climbs and bouldering. It’s recommended that you bring a partner to climb/belay with, but singles options are also available. Rocktown is open every weekday until 10pm, 8pm on Saturdays and 6pm on Sundays. Visit their website or call 405.319.1400 for more information. 30 | OKCCONVENTIONER.COM | S/F 2012

The newly established OKC bike share program Spokies (spokiesokc.com) has six kisosks in the downtown area and is a great way to move around town in a healthy way. S/F 2012 | OKCCONVENTIONER.COM | 31

SHOPPING
For over 50 years, family-owned Suburban Contemporary Furnishings has strived to be the very best contemporary furniture and accessory specialist in Oklahoma. Along the way, they’ve gained a reputation for excellent customer service and established themselves as Oklahoma’s premier contemporary furnishings showroom. Suburban provides a unique and painless shopping experience for out-of-town visitors. Their contemporary showroom, the largest in the state, provides an opportunity to see and touch before you buy. Wondering how to get it home? Suburban routinely delivers throughout Oklahoma and its bordering states. Special delivery arrangements outside of this area are also available. The Conventioner caught up with Brandon Burt who, along with his brother Jeremy, represents the next generation of Suburban leadership. We wanted to get their take on how the renewed focus on urban living in OKC’s downtown has affected their business and what’s so great about working with family. OKCC: How has Oklahoma City’s recent urban resurgence impacted the demand you’ve seen for modern and contemporary furnishings? 34 | OKCCONVENTIONER.COM | S/F 2012
CONTEMPORARY FURNISHINGS
Burt: As our city changes, we’ve seen a major shift in style choices and furnishing preferences. For the last few years we’ve seen a constant rise in interest in the contemporary furnishings we’ve always sold. People want cleaner looks, exciting styles and brighter colors to go along with the more modern homes and businesses that are starting to go up all over our great state. OKCC: What keys to success have you learned over the years? Burt: Customer service, customer service and customer service. This has been the biggest key for our success over the years along with a high quality and customizable selection of contemporary furnishings and the most helpful and knowledgeable sales staff in Oklahoma.

NORMAN
David Phelps’ Pastoral Dreamer reclines outside the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.
Only 20 minutes south of downtown OKC, Norman retains an eclectic and cosmopolitan feel thanks to the erudite influence of the University of Oklahoma. The presence of so many students means that after a day of meetings, there are a multitude of interesting options for your evening. Many head to Campus Corner for its vibrant concentration of restaurants, bars and live music venues. Or try the renovated downtown along Main St. where you’ll find an eccentric collection of locally owned galleries, pubs and restaurants. If you crave higher stakes action, Riverwind Casino (see pg. 19) should be your destination. Norman has many hidden gems. We recommend that you start exploring with the list below.
FEATURED DINING & NIGHTLIFE Crimson & Whipped Cream This wonderful little bakery and coffee shop on Campus Corner hits the spot every time. The staff is always attentive and pleasant, the WiFi is fast, the tunes are great and the coffee and baked goods are out of this world. Stop in after your lunchtime meetings and pick up something to enjoy later in your hotel room. The Roasted Banana Whoopie Pie is a TIP game-changer.

EDMOND
Artist Linda Prokop’s bronze sculpture “Big Wish” straddles a trail in Edmond’s 121-acre Hafer Park.

In addition to world class golf courses and an excellent restaurant and nightlife scene, Edmond has gained national acclaim for its efforts to engender city-wide adoption of public art initiatives. The resulting collection of over 100 works adds a flourish of charm to the city. After the sun sets, head downtown. A large cluster of Edmond’s best dining and socializing spots concentrate around Broadway and Boulevard St. to the west of the University of Central Oklahoma’s campus. Here are a few of Edmond’s best to get you started.
FEATURED DINING & NIGHTLIFE Boulevard Steakhouse Boulevard hits all the notes you want in a great steakhouse: USDA Prime beef cooked to perfection, a soothing atmosphere and impeccable service. Along with the steaks, the seafood and accoutrements will satisfy even the most discerning diner. After dinner, visit the adjacent Martini Lounge for a cigar and nightcap.
