I would love to see that picture. I am not a visually gifted person, I can't tell you what color the carpet in my office is unless I look at the floor. But I think this city has the ability to become very dense once again. The changes that I've seen over the last 7 or 8 years are staggering. There's no reason it can't continue.

There's still a strong inferiority complex in many OKC residents. For too long people felt like they needed to apologize for the way things were. Like the chubby girl with glasses who grew up, lost weight, and got hot, a lot of OKC residents don't realize the potential here. Thankfully that is starting to go away, but it's going to take more time for civic pride to grow.
