History on File
by mrclay2000
Listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, the Oklahoma Historical Society is one of the city's few classical buildings. Built in the 1930s and sitting directly opposite the state capitol, the Society houses a great collection of state newspapers on microfilm, the voice recordings of prominent Oklahomans, state artefacts and documents, and a large genealogy library. The censuses are all on file here, so if you have any Oklahoma heritage, your family research will properly begin here.
If they bake it, it is delicious!
by rexvaughan about Nonna's Bakery & Cafe
This place reminds you of a French sidewalk cafe. It is as lovely as it is delicious. They have a farm and greenhouse where they grow most of their salad veggies and flowers that decorate the tables. Their bakery items alone make your knees weak. They have grown from a small cafe to one with several dining rooms and are planning another location in Bricktown (downtown OKC) soon. The breads are fresh and delicious; their salads crisp and tasty; their entrees well prepared and yummy; thier desserts are out of this world. Lunching with 3 ladies, I just finished the desserts of 2 of them - a marvelous creme brule and an awesome apple dumpling.
This place gets top marks.
National Cowboy Hall of Fame
by WFTR
The National Cowboy Hall of Fame is a museum dedicated to the American cowboy in particular and the American West in general. The museum has displays depicting the life of cowboys in real life and in the movies. I remember a large display of western paintings. I guess the main feature is a big room with photos and information on all of those who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
St Joseph's Triumphant
by mrclay2000
If you never make it to Oklahoma City, your life will not necessarily be less enriched, but if you do come here and miss the interior of St Joseph's Cathedral, you can thank yourself for missing the best stained glass in the city.
Why am I here???
by catwoman5353
While you might not think of Oklahoma City as an urban paradise (it isn't), it's also not as bad as you probably think it is. Trust me, I moved to OKC from Southern California for college. While I wouldn't want to live there for the rest of my life, there was enough to do to keep me occipied for three (hopefully four) years.
