Oklahoma City is Bricktown's canal and warehouses, the Thunder (who get loud), and the deeply moving Oklahoma City National Memorial. The downtown's grown up fast in the last decade, the food scene leans steaks and Vietnamese (the Asian District is legit), and the surrounding plains give the city an enormous sky. The Cowboy Hall of Fame is more thoughtful than the name suggests.
