Sweet spot long gone but not forgotten


Does anybody remember the Classen Tower ledges? For those of you who don't know about this place....The spot used to have ledges all around the entrances that would get skated pretty much on the regular.
I was just reminiscing the good times I had there. So many hours spent skating there. ...I met Crawdad there. All windy as hell, running from the cops, tickets, gaps, rails, marble here and there, it also had a parking garage with manny pads.......There was even a jazz club down in the underground we used to play pool and grab drinks at.

Anyways...In that one first picture you can see the start of a parking block pile in the top right side. Soon after this picture was taken, construction workers stacked all the ledges over there too. The dopest ledges in the city just staring at you, piled up way too heavy to move. I have to admit. It sucked just to drive by and catch a glance. The building has now been remodeled into up scale apartments and all the front and pretty much everything we skated has been taken out and replaced with grass and some local artwork. I preferred our art personally. None the less... Here's to one of the sickest skate spots Oklahoma City ever had.

Cheers
