Tulsa, Wichita, etc. almost seem to benefit by having smaller populations and higher concentration of businesses in fewer and smaller areas. OKC has soooo many pockets that compete with each other it scatters everyone. We have Western, mid-town, Bricktown, Deep Deuce and now Film Row and AA, all competing for being "cool". We don't let one mature before we are on to the other. Hard to gain critical mass everywhere. I think we have had fantastic progress the last 10 years, but we seem to have difficulty concentrating.
