A lot has changed in 20 years. Lots of urban growth has happened since then and continues. Outside of downtown there are some cool neighborhood districts like the Plaza and Paseo. Norman is also nearby and is a great college town.
OKC sits in a good position to capture excess growth from Texas, has a mostly favorable climate (mild winters) and is centrally located. If Oklahoma would invest more in its education system it could be more like Tennessee, and OKC more like Nashville - a fast-growing Inland mid-South Metro near another large metro. Together with Tulsa 90 miles away the combined metro population is 2.5 million
