They have recently installed new landscaping all the way around to the front of Browns Bakery. Trees and all. Looks very nice!!

It thrills me when even simple measures like investing in landscaping are done. This city is filled with properties that either look horrible but could be improved so much just by doing something besides maintaining Bermuda grass or buildings that are fairly nice but stand out for their lack of curb appeal, especially if red clay splashed up on it when it rains.

beautifully said, MB. totally agreed.

this is the time of year when you can really tell who gives an F about their real property, because they have successfully overseeded with Perennial Ryegrass or a similar cultivar.

I will admit I am not a regular traveler around the region, or our nation, but can you share what cities are clearly better than Oklahoma City?

In my humble opinion, I wouldn't necessarily say they're superior or inferior to OKC, but I find both Seattle and Salt Lake City to be quite high on the beautification scale.

I thought parts of SLC were gorgeous and others left a LOT to be desired. Obviously, the Mormon grounds were incredible.

I traveled to quite a few places, if I ever move away from OKC, I'd love Kansas City, Savannah, or maybe Boston (I prefer smaller cities).

Ashville, NC, Newport, RI, Nashville, Santa Fe., Annapolis, Md, There are many pretty and nice places to live.

I moved here from KCMO and loved that city. So many things in OKC seem like smaller/more expensive versions of things in KCMO.

If I had the money, I'd purchase the whole West Bottoms area and turn that into a cool neighborhood. Many OKC developers/operators look into Dallas and Kansas City for ideas, that's why you're see so similar things here (BARK, Chicken 'N Pickle, Parlor, etc.). KCMO has the most beautiful skyline, IMO, especially looking from the Liberty Memorial Tower or The Scout Statue locations.

Both of those are originated from Kansas City, Bar K in 2018 -> St Louis in 2021, Chicken 'N Pickle in 2015. Pivot was one of the developers of Bar K.

And it will look so much better in time for the World Cup in 2026! The "Big Cap" over I-670 will transform the Crossroads District. They will get ~4 blocks of park(s) covering the interstate downtown, with concessions, a small forested area, and more, for around $220 million.

If they were to keep that black metallic finish, that would be slick.
