I was looking so foward to seeing and experiencing the remodeled First National Center. Myself and my girlfriend stoped by April 23, 2022 at about 4:30 pm that Saturday afternoon.

The bank it was built for was a victim of the oil bust and is no longer with us, but today the building houses several amazing restaurants, a retail shopping center, and the old vault downstairs now houses a bar.
The building also houses apartments and a hotel, plus venues for business meetings, events, and...
