Oklahoma City is unlike any other. Born in a single day with the sound of a gunshot, the city was settled by a historic land run. Angelo Scott, a journalist who participated in the run, captured the city's essence, saying it has "an attitude that all things are possible if people are willing to take a chance and embrace the future without hesitation or reservation."
That pioneering spirit is alive and well today. Over the past decade, a combination of public and private investments has fueled a renaissance, transforming Oklahoma City into a vibrant, forward-thinking metropolis.
