COWBOYS MEET CITY
CULTURE IN OKLAHOMA CITY
BY JEN ROSE SMITH
With 10-gallon swagger and a
country soul to match, Oklahoma
City (OKC) is where Route 66
swings deep into the heart of the
American West. The energetic
capital of Oklahoma gives that
dusty legacy pride of place, from
Western-wear emporia to exhibits
in the National Cowboy & Western
Heritage Museum.
But OKC living is anything but
mired in the past. Even if you come
for the cowboys, the craft beer
and fresh style will tempt you into
exploring further. Whether you’re
grooving to Oklahoma’s Red Dirt
music or brewery-hopping in the
renovated Bricktown neighborhood,
you’ll love OKC’s aw-shucks charm,
dash, and culture.
