Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Imagine the size of a building that covers an area of 575,000 square feet. If that's too hard to visualize, then consider the same building contains 82,350 cubic yards of concrete - enough to pave a highway 24 feet wide from downtown Oklahoma City's major buildings on the area occupied by the building. Pretty big, huh? We're referring to Oklahoma City's downtown convention center, which is now under construction on its four-square-block site. The $22.9 million center will eventually occupy three-fourths of the area bounded by Sheridan Ave., W Reno, S Robinson and the Santa Fe tracks."

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Recent damage claims by seven northwest Oklahoma City homeowners are the latest in a long list of complaints resulting from flooding along Deep Fork Creek. The whole mess began in May, 1955, when an unusually heavy rainstorm sent the creek out of its banks. Flood waters swamped many homes in the vicinity of NW 42 and Altadena. In a few days city councilmen were flooded too - by complaints from residents whose homes were damaged. Several filed claims, which were later denied by the council. A year later, the city successfully defended itself in a district court mandamus suit by starting construction on a storm-sanitary sewer project in the flood area. The property owners dropped their case. However, by that time the area around NW 42 and Altadena had begun to resemble a deserted village as homeowners continued to move out. Many were unable to sell their homes. At right is the scene at the same location Saturday, as Deep Fork trickled along tamely."
