Trip to History Center on Sunday

Sunday afternoon I went to the History Center to see the exhibit on Deep Deuce. Upon viewing the exhibit, I was listening to the video on Deep Deuce when two women from St. John's Baptist church came by and starting talking abou the jazz bands. I asked them if they grew up in
Deep Deuce and one lived there when she was a child. She said it was quite a bustling area. I asked her what she thought of most of the buildings being razed and apartments going up in their place. She said that is a part of progress. I couldn't engage them in any other conversation but I did wonder if they were saddened by the demise of Deep Deuce or if they thought it was time for it to be revitalized by new construction or if they moved further north, east in Oklahoma City. Just some thoughts on my part.
