Only the far northwest corner and panhandle of Oklahoma are the plains. Not OKC. There are plenty of trees in and around the area. If you wanna see the real plains go to Kansas or above. ABQ is a lot drier and less green than OKC. But still looks like a great outdoors destination. If you like more of a metro/city feel and professional sports OKC is the place for you. It's all relative to personality.
I grew up in stillwater and live in wichita. There are some slight rolling hills around okc but the general topography of central and western okla is flat. I know about mt Scott, the gloss mountains and the arbuckles. But if you have to you kansas as a comparison to boost oklahomas terrain, that kinda says it all. Okla may be hillier than Kansas but anyone from the east coast (minus Florida) or west coast will think okc is flat and pic okc. the poll reflects that.

That sure is an impressive building, however it sticks out like a sore thumb. They should have built two or three 500 ft buildings to make the downtown look larger, instead of a huge tower all by itself.

Yeah that one building looks glorious, it's a very impressive looking skyscraper. But yes it makes the rest of the skyline look dank, kind of a mismatch.

Yeah, I have to agree with the above posters, it's a very impressive building, but it does look rather awkward next the rest of buildings. It kinda reminds of me of Amarillo's skyline which has a group of smaller buildings surrounding a fairly high tower. Perhaps OKC has bigger plans to "balance" it all out?

They couldn't do that because it takes a fortune 500 corporation to build a skyscraper , and there wasn't two or three corporation willing to build two or three 500 feet skyscrapers.
