Walk around the suburban malls, downtown or the outlying districts, and you'll pick up on it, too. In fact, for those who live here and for those who visit, Oklahoma City is riding tall in the saddle. Both will surprise you. Two years ago, my family and I moved to Oklahoma City after 12 years in Tulsa. It wasn't long before I realized that this town has a lot going for it- not the least of which is heart.
Heart is in abundance here.
Bumper crops, year after year. Our 48 hours will go fast, so let's rise early, get a good chuck wagon breakfast and hightail it on over to one of my favorite spots, the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center, where you'll get a taste of the real West. Art, a Children's Cowboy Corral, gifts, gardens and the theater will catch your eye first, but don't miss a chance to stroll through the fascinating hall of fame. The portraits of James Arness of Gunsmoke, President Reagan and dozens more are just wonderful. The End of the Trail by James Earle Fraser, and don't miss the displays devoted to American Indians.
