To many sooners!

No, Kevin Durant plans ball there, so I can't help but be a fan. I honestly don't know anything about the city itself though. Except it was one of the two large cities that voted against Obama.

Lifelong resident here, so there are plenty things I like.

I like how friendly people are. How when you go anywhere in town, people hold doors, say hi, help you.

I like that i can get to oh so many things in 20 minutes from anywhere in the city.

I like how our arts and entertainment have expanded exponentially over the last 10 years.

I like our low cost of living, and never inflated real estate costs.

I like that we have several options for sports, both collegiate and professional.

I like that we aren't self identified by what people outside of our city think we are...no we don't live in teepees and ride horses to work...facepalm.

I like our airport. Yes it's on the smaller side...and that means you move VERY quickly. And being in the center of the U.S., nothing is more than a 4 hour tops flight away.

I like how our municipal government continually strives to make efforts to improve the city....and does so in a fiscally responsible manner that does NOT put the city in debt, while also pinging the residents for what needs to be done.

I like how light rail will be something in the near future.

What do i not like? The heat.

I was born in Oklahoma City so I'm a little biased, but I like all of the development going on in the downtown area.

Also where I met my wife in 1989. Small world.
Additionally, had a really fine time talking/touring with OKC Streetcar/MAPS3 person a month ago.

I like the architecture of many of the buildings, especially City Place & 1st National Center. Oklahoma City is a thriving metropolis with no end in sight, it has many years of growth ahead of it.
