Even though we enjoy making fun of him from time to time, we kind of like the Oklahoman's Downtown beat reporter Steve Lackmeyer. The guy's just good at his job. He keeps the public informed on important issues, he isn't afraid to irritate or question the city brass, and he makes me feel swift and athletic. All three of those things are hard to do.
Sometimes, though, Steve loves Downtown Oklahoma City a little too much. It's as if he's a 12-year-old girl and Downtown is Greyson Chance playing the piano. That can be a good thing when someone's trying to tear down an old building or build an elevated roadway, but it can occasionally cloud his judgement. For example, Steve now thinks that the Oklahoma City Farmer's Market could be the next Cain's Ballroom.
