Things I should have posted over the last 3 weeks (1 of 10)
June 3rd, 2009
I finished my thesis. I ended up focusing the entire thesis on Oklahoma City’s attempt to build a parks and boulevard system; the lasting effects of which are four large parks, sections of Grand Boulevard, and the rights-of-way for significant portions of our interstate system. The 1910 Plan by Wilbur H. Dunn, it turns out, represents only a small part of a much longer story. I haven’t decided what I will do with my thesis research. It was a bit rushed in the end and could use some refining, but it just might make a good first book at some point down the road.
