As a lifelong resident of the 405, I have no problem admitting that Oklahoma City is kind of boring, especially when compared to the New Yorks, LAs, and other “Big League Cities” scattered across the country.
I mean, let’s be honest. Not only is OKC a bit sleepy, churchy, and conservative, but we’re far from the ocean, far from mountains, and based on the intelligence of our rural voters, far from advanced civilization!
Despite all that, you can’t argue that OKC is light years ahead of where it was in the 20th century when it comes to entertainment options. Back then, I think the only fun things to do were hit up the zoo, go furniture shopping, or fall to your death inside the Belle Isle power plant. Now we have an NBA team, a canoe slalom course, and a streetcar. Go us!
