Oklahoma's Capitol City

by basstbn - last update: Apr 3, 2004

Touching Memorials
Although I have long known that Oklahoma City has some attractions worthy a visit, usually it has only been a milestone or fast-food stop en route to another location. However, as Nancy and I headed home from our spring break road trip in March of 2004, we promised each other that we would stop in OKC just long enough to see a couple of sites - the Oklahoma City National Memorial, the state capitol building, and the Western Heritage Museum.

Oklahoma City appears to be a progressive city with a bustling downtown, and a number of attractions other than those we had time to visit. It has been, and remains to be, a very friendly city.

The accompanying picture is a re-touched digital photo I took of the individual memorials to those who perished in the horrible bombing of the federal building in 1995.

Pros:"Friendly city, inexpensive lodging and food, some nice attractions."
Cons:"Can be brutally hot and windy, or cold and windy"
In A Nutshell:"Don't just fly through; stop and enjoy"
