Great write up! I grew up in Edmond/NW OKC and it's been awesome watching OKC come into its own during the past 20 years. I live in Tulsa and really wish Tulsa would start doing more things like OKC. They're doing some things right, but just not at the scale as OKC. I don't sense the excitement or optimism for Tulsa like you see in OKC. That could just be me, though.
Thank you! Tulsa is doing some cool stuff, but ya hard to top Thunder. I visited a few years ago and may have a future article on Tulsa in general. My thought is that the heart of the city is to choked by the highway ring. Need to get back next visit.
Great summary of an overlooked city! I've been fascinated by OKC ever since they got an NBA team (another way sports brings relevance), and I really enjoyed Sam Anderson's Boom Town book from 2018.

Nice! I heard good things about it. I will get it soon I guess.
