The Harkins movie theatre is special to me for many reasons. I love to see movies, and at the time it was built, this was the nicest movie theatre in Oklahoma City. Before going there, I had never sat in a reclining chair at a movie theatre or been exposed to such an array of food options. While all that may not sound that cool, I thought it was such an awesome experience when I was a kid. It was also one of the newest and most vital additions to our up and coming brick town, which has grown to be a vibrant downtown area. I also am family friends with an individual by the name of Randy Hogan who played a vital role designing and constructing the theatre, so I was able to hear about some of the behind the scene details that made the experience more memorable. The building is on Reno Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City, with a beautiful fountain right in front of it, and just a short walk to the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
