remington park

[Danzig]

ok, i'm considering heading there next month for a weekend. it's relatively close...

has anyone here been there? any recommendations? tony and i have never been to okla city, so we don't know about restaurants, etc.

what's the track like? or should we go to a different track? one of the nice things about living where we do, it's a few hours to somewhere.

First, don't stay near the track. It is in the "Adventure District", which is fine and includes the track, the zoo, the science center, and the ASA softball stadiums. But the immediate surrounding area, not so much. I'd stay in Bricktown, which is nice, or on the north side by Lake Hefner. The track is on the north side as well, but further east.

What type of food are you looking to eat? The track dining room is decent and so is the dining in the casino. If you are looking for steaks, don't buy the reputation of Cattlemen's. There are much better places. Boulevard Steakhouse is great, as is Opus Prime Steakhouse. Mickey Mantle's in Bricktown is very good as well, but not as good as the others. If you are looking for something different, let me know.

The track is nice. It is one of the few racinos where you don't actually have to work to find the track. It is almost the other way around. The track is clean easy to navigate. I live only 15 minutes away, but honestly I don't go more than once or twice a year. The times I have went though I don't have any complaints.

thanks, cm.

i don't have a certain type of food restaurant-wise that i'm searching for-just something good. whether it be steak, bbq, etc, as long as it's good-it suits me fine!
i'll pass this on to my husband/trip planner as far as areas to stay.

and i'm glad you don't have to search for the track, which was the first thing i thought when tony and i went to delta downs...where's the door?

CharlesTown is terrible. You need a guide, or a very good map, to find the track.

Too bad you won't be here when the Thunder are playing. That is an experience like no other.

You might say PID is located in the 'adventure district' of Erie County -- as it also includes a track, casino, and zoo.

However, there is no science center -- only churches, trailor parks, and shooting ranges. No Softball stadiums either ... but one monstrous landfill located about a mile from the stable area of the racetrack.

It was as if they sought out the most white trash infested area just outside the Erie city limits to build the track.

The zoo is depressing. Almost every animal looks like it would rather be dead. The Otter is the one major exception ... that fucl<er is loving life every time I'm dragged to the zoo.

The monkeys are cool to watch. The little guy plays with himself while the big dude watches.




This is the most impressive animal. I'm in awe of the Rhino's. Those are some bad looking MoFos and they're quick.




My girlfriend brings her stupid camera all over and takes pictures of everything. I talker her into going into the Penguin so I could take a picture...




Then I put the camera down, unzipped my fly, grabbed the back of the head, and tried to talk her into blowing me while she was in that. I told her I'd scream "Suck me off Oswald Cobblepot!" as the zoo'goers watch me get head from a Penguin.

The place where 80% of our dates end up...the track/casino. Where I drink and gamble all night while she tries to annoy me with a camera.

Hippos bitch slap the rhinos.

You are clearly overachieving.

well, there's sentence i'd have never expected:
