But OMG how wonderful it is know that the American Indian Cultural Center & Museum has begun work again. Not only is it just a necessary institution in telling the entirety of the American story, but it is also the kind of cultural attraction that a growing city and burgeoning destination would kill to have. It doesn't hurt that in the time since, several boathouses were erected just upstream. That stretch of river itself is an attraction now.

I'm surprised to hear that the AICCM is known beyond Oklahoma.
Here we just know it as the never-ending-project-sitting-by-the-river...
Only now, it looks like an end is in sight.
One thing that I didn't mention in my post is that the city recently budgeted $1 million to create a river landing in the front of the center.
This would allow an extra stop for the river cruise boats.
(this won't be built for several more years, though)
