Default OK City

I drove through OK City yesterday. It was a dreadful day, raining constantly, gray, cold....and yet there was a vitality that I didn't expect. There's no graffiti, no bars on windows. I was pleasantly surprised by a very nice city that I drive through all the time, but have never stopped to see until now. I'll be back.

Wow, that's surprising. I would've figured a day like yesterday would've given a terrible image of the city. Now, today...it's so gorgeous!

It depends on where you're coming from. As I said in another post, even on rainy days it's still brighter here than on the east coast.

In addition to that, like the poster said; it's refreshing to see a city where there aren't bars on the windows and graffiti all over the place. OkC is a special place - in that respect, please stay that way.

Top ten cleanest cities. That makes me proud of my capital city.
