Everything's up to date in Oklahoma City

For years, cross-country drivers pulling into Oklahoma City ("OKC") found a flat, sprawling, dead-quiet city with three crisscrossing interstates begging to take you elsewhere. Pretty? No, a plain Jane at best.

But that was then. Now, as Oklahoma marks its 100th birthday (Nov. 16), its capital is strutting about a stunning makeover.

See the article for much more.

VERY nice. Thanks for the link.

Cool find... very complimentary article.

That is a nice article. It's the same one that was in several papers last month. It's the Lonely Planet's syndicated column. It was in the Salt Lake City Tribune October 12th and many others. So, the article was widely distributed and read. Nice!

I know the writer well. Nice guy. If you attended OU between 1987 and 1991 you would probably remember him.

Good article, but you can definitely tell it was written by an out of towner. Nonetheless, good press. I want to write him and tell him about the progress in Paseo, Plaza District, Capitol Hill, Midtown, Automobile Alley and more!

metro,

He's not an "out of towner." His family lives here, his wife's family is from here, he used to live here, and he visits here throughout the year. He had to write a short article that was digestible to the masses. We're proud of Auto Alley and Plaza District, Capitol Hill, etc., and trust me, Robert knows those places well, but there's nowhere to visit for an out-of-towner. Dig?

Well for such an almost-local, he should know that the Colcord was never previously a hotel, nor did it ever sit empty.
