The list of lists giving Oklahoma City glowing reviews just keeps growing, for good reason of course. Did you know that OKC just topped CNNMoney’s list of most business-friendly cities? One of the more important improvements we’ve seen in our local economy – in my opinion – as a result of the city’s rebirth was […]
Way More than OK: Respect from San Antonio
May 31, 2012 by
During the playoffs, it’s easy (too easy) to get caught up in trash talk about teams, fans, facilities, and cities, so it’s nice to see a writer who looks deeper and enlightens others. As a life-long Okie, it’s even nicer to see the recognition that our great city gets for being a progressive leader in […]

April 16, 2012 by
It’s an age-old question, right? In our great city, the numbers have traditionally worked well in favor of buying a home, rather than renting.

February 25, 2012 by
I love it when someone puts great sound and great video together to show off our city, like the “Where We’ve Been (Where We’re Goin’)” video we shared a while back. And there’s nothing better than a new twist. Check out the latest and greatest, and the only hip-hop version I’m aware of, which I […]
