I spent a few hours today with a delightful young woman charged with the logistics of relocating the Seattle Supersonics to Oklahoma City, and wasn’t at all surprised to hear the old ‘What’s in Oklahoma City?’ statement, in reference to the mindset of a few of the folks being moved here.

It’s a common question.  Whether it’s old stereotypes or the image still being portrayed to the nation, many people outside our borders still picture horse-drawn carriages and dirt-covered prairies when they hear the word ‘Oklahoma.’

She, however, has a very optimistic outlook on the city, and has enjoyed her time here so far.  She commented on the beauty of the area, the amazing affordability of housing, and the well-planned design of our highway system.  With these things in mind, I thought I’d share a video here for anyone else wondering ‘What the heck is there to do in Oklahoma City?’
