Oklahoma City -- or OKC, as it is known in the local verbal shorthand -- is a rapidly growing city that has cultivated big-city diversity and modern sensibilities without losing its southern frontier charm. Just over 1 million people call Oklahoma City home; well, the city and the many quiet towns which dot its borders, that is.
Visitors are often surprised upon arriving in this little metropolis: no longer is it the harsh, parched land many imagine -- associating the city with memories of the 1930s "Dust Bowl" Oklahoma. No, this is a land of lakes, forests, rolling green hills, red rock canyons, big sky and beautiful sunsets. And blended into these delightful pockets of nature are the neighborhoods of the city. Every personality and taste has a place here, whether athletic-, artistic-, or business-minded.
