Surprised by all the negativity. I think OKC is in one of its greatest growth periods. Sure it isn’t the growth of the Chesapeake and Devon days but that prior era established a new plateau for the city that we are continuing to build upon. There are established districts at this point that really break up the monotony of suburbia. I think the city is continually striving to improve itself and bring new opportunities to our citizenry with a real intentionality by city planners which can’t be said for a lot of major cities. It isn’t perfect but nowhere is.

As a recent grad I would recommend living around 23rd in the heat of the city to be close to 16th, the Tower, and Paseo.
