There's Nothing Going On Here the Weekend of March 9

National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum (1700 N.E. 63rd): This place used to be simply called "the Cowboy Hall of Fame." It features displays related to all the groups that shaped the history of the West and Southwest.

Flaming Lips Alley (Bricktown, Downtown Oklahoma City): Some bands get streets named after them. The Flaming Lips get a poorly lit alley lined with Dumpsters. You could go see the Long John Silver's where Wayne Coyne once worked, but it's now a family-owned Vietnamese noodle house.

Edna's (5137 N. Classen): This is a first-rate dive bar, a place where Edna herself will still get up on the bar every time you put a nickel in the jukebox and play "Great Balls of Fire."

The OKC Zoo (2101 N.E. 50th): True story. When I was in eighth grade, we took a class field trip to this zoo, where a circus bear pooped all over itself, rubbed its paws in its mess, and then waved at us. Seriously, this is a highly rated zoo in the zoo rankings.

OKC National Memorial & Museum (620 N. Harvey): Before 9/11, Oklahoma City was the scene of the deadliest terrorist act on American soil. The memorial, with its reflecting pool and empty chairs for each of the 168 victims, 19 of them children killed in a day care, is a moving experience.

Reno Avenue: If you're looking for a different kind of moving experience, simply cruise up and down Reno Avenue, and take in any of a number of strip clubs.
