Why should it get accolades? Do you know why Oklahoma City is doing well? It isn't because city planners are doing their job. It isn't because we are some diverse and advanced economy.

Its because of our natural gas and oil. If every state in the country had oil and natural gas, they would be doing at least as well as we are. We actually fail pretty hard at attracting other business(like technology/manufacturing). If Oil became unnecessary tomorrow. This state would turn into Kansas.

It isn't just oil and natural gas. Government is still plays a large role in Oklahoma City's economy thanks to Tinker. The medical field also employs a large portion of OKC's workforce, including the growing bio-science corridor over at OHC. I consider OHC and its research park to be OKC's true ticket to the future.
