Oklahoma City KEY - Concierge of the Month

Joey Palmer
Water Taxi
Bricktown

PROFILE: Joey has been with the Water Taxi for the last 3 seasons. He serves in just about every capacity from maintenance to tickets sales, and is also one of the most popular Water Taxi ambassadors. In his spare time—which is few and far between this time of year—he is a self-professed computer geek and not so professional bowler.

FAVORITE PASTIME: This time of year you can’t beat a afternoon or evening watching a great movie. This is the season for all the new releases and with the addition of the new 16-screen Harkins Theatre, featuring the largest screen in Oklahoma, there’s never been a better place to enjoy a movie! Located in the heart of Bricktown, there are plenty of restaurants and activities to choose from before or after the movie. Mix that in with a movie, and you’ve got afternoon or evening of fun for the whole family.”

MUST SEE: “If you’re only in town for one day, a “must see” is the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The monument, that has been erected to honor the lives of those lost there, is a sobering place to visit. The site includes a memorial for the victims of the April 1995 bombing of the Murrah Building and a museum that tells the story beginning on April 19, 1995, and continuing to present day. The museum offers a totally different view of the tragedy than what most people experienced watching the television news accounts. While planning your visit, I would suggest you allow at least one and one-half hours for the museum and plenty of time to experience the outdoor symbolic memorial. It is an eye opening experience and well worth your time.”

“While you’re here, be sure to enjoy a Water Taxi cruise on the Bricktown Canal—the day after Thanksgiving through the first of the year, the canal will be aglow with Christmas lights. I’ll be looking for you!”
