Rodeo Cinema: Part 1 of The Stockyards City

Hi there! Today we are going to talk about Rodeo Cinema.

 

I can’t believe it’s already June! This year has really flown by. Lots of times my weekends consist of traveling to new places, seeing common ground, and indulging in my favorite eateries.

So, this past weekend, I got the enjoyment of going to a historic part of Oklahoma City known as the Stockyards.

 

 

Instead of just writing an article 0n the Stockyards itself, why not write about this into a series?

 

I think this is a great idea, one that I want to make sure that no detail gets left out. With so many things to see and do in this part of town, I want to captivate piece by piece.

 

So, with that in mind, we will start off slow and end with a bang. Therefore, Rodeo Cinema is the leadoff hitter for today.

 

Without further ado, let’s dive into the series!
