Oklahoma City - Oklahoma - 4K Downtown Drive

[@robertpetersen4188]

Your excellent driving Mike followed an exceptional well thoughtout tour of downtown OKC. Veiwing your video from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as an older local resident puts my city to shame. OKC is so well planned...the multilaned streets are open and so clean & tidy. The parks and avenues are very well kept. There were no road works and building constructions spilling onto footpaths & roads. Pedestrians seemed so relaxed and happy...wish I could be with them. If I were residential in the USA, I don't think I could find a better place to live than in OKC. OKC and its folks make for a true standout American city. Thank you for your tour...much appreciated. 🦘

Nice tour of Oklahoma city

[@mrjennjenn1149]

I cant wait for the future of OKC its a nice city I've been there, I also hope the new legends tower will be completed.

[@johnmarcovich1706]

Man this takes me back. Okc will always have a special place in my heart. Id like to go back soon.

[@lrn_news9171]

It's time to go back, the city is booming

[@frank-qf9pm]

Nice downtown area. Thank you for the tour.

[@pawekokot1157]

Looks like city in the middle of nowhere but i thnik its quite nice, special. Very clean streets and overall city without homeless tents

[@cybersins2425]

There’s a bunch of homeless tents here

[@johnmarcovich1706]

There is a lot of homeless. Especially around 23rd and Classon, close to the capital building and the Asian district.

[@kompa2004]

Every big cities have homeless. Even small cities have some as well. OKC looks nice and clean.

[@markrichards6863]

It is a city in the middle of nowhere. I did not enjoy my time there on business. But the people are friendly. Downtown is pretty underwhelming for a city that size.

[@smackindabox]

Where is the middle of somewhere?

i've lived in tulsa all my life and i've never been to okc. thank you for this.

Passing by the OKC Thunder Arena used to be called Ford Center after that Chesapeake Energy Arena

[@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187]

Ford Center and a local Ford Dealer right next to it back then

[@corneliusdansbyjr6165]

And a U-Haul place was right beside it when it was called the Ford Center I had an interview there end up asking for directions at the Ford Center and And 1 was there I got to hoop with them that day...........

[@jimpennington3824]

Right through the heart of Brick Town. Awesome.

[@aj742]

Really nice video of downtown, really captured the area well. 👍

[@cinocino9718]

Such a captivating upload.

[@RoamingRelaxation]

Such a smooth and captivating drive through Oklahoma City! 🚗 The downtown area looks vibrant and full of character. Were there any hidden gems or unique spots along the route that you'd recommend exploring on foot?

[@JeanEDeaux]

OKC is building a really nice city.

[@Brandon-ey2ym]

From NYC but im a introvert so i dont like to be around big crowds of ppl like its is constantly in my city i been checking okc and me heading to my 40s next year rhis might be a more ideal city for me nice and quiet with still that city feel of NY i dont care about action and hanging out if i can go out there and find a nice woman ill be perfectly fine

[@TheRaginCajun6]

My home from 09-12. I was stationed at Tinker AFB. Kind of boring place but nice to see a different side of America.

[@MDCSWildcats86]

I live in Oklahoma City. Until c. 2006, what's now the overpass over I-40 was an underground tunnel that dipped under the railroad. Oklahoma City Boulevard at 2:00 was where I-40 used to run through until 2012 when it was re-routed south. At 2:40 on the right is the Cox Convention Center (formerly the Myriad).

[@robertvance01]

Thanks for another great ride along.

[@beautifulflorida]

Great trip! Nice city! Like 42. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@gbd-oq1rz]

Hey I was down there a month ago and the city has improved so much since I first visited in 2009

[@PendingName]

July during the day; I bet everyone is inside hiding from the heat. It livens up a little at night

[@oumaniac]

Wow, pretty decent downtown.

[@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187]

Compared the 1990's, 2010's, & Now it's a huge difference

[@nelsonlachappellejr9377]

How many traffic lights does this city have?

[@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187]

Too many 😂

[@AngelRivera-de1lq]

Trust me, it drives me crazy daily 😂

[@derekwebster8442]

Nice, clean city, but the downtown looks tiny. It only seems to go a few blocks in each direction. Anyone else notice how quickly he leaves the downtown core. Also the density is low. Theres so many empty parking lots that need to be turned into offices, housing or shopping.

[@kennypowers1945]

Becuase the city is stretched soooo far. It’s the 4th largest city per sq miles in USA. This isn’t the only area with buildings and shopping centers in okc

[@santospaul8103]

@@kennypowers1945I’m from OKC but downtown area in general needs more places to shop and eat at, not Bricktown but Downtown

[@CJW0056]

[@marcbayarea1980]

Fun fact. If the city looks like it's devoid of pedestrians, it's because they're most likely in the underground tunnel network.

[@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187]

Sadly to say there's no underground subways/metro 🚇 in this City

[@marcbayarea1980]

@@TheStreetFoolosopherMr187 It's a pedestrian tunnel system. Oklahoma City isn't dense enough to support a metro system.

[@tony_4792]

Is empty, very depressing city.

[@kennypowers1945]

@@marcbayarea1980most cities in the USA aren’t. Only few have them

[@Clockoutmedia]

I’m from NC but this looks nice and big just boring like it feels like theirs no activity

[@Soonerinseattle]

Downtown OKC is more for night life and not to many people live downtown so mid day it’s dead I suspect that will change with all the high density developments planned over the next few years

[@ronald2ei]

It's a Sunday morning - not much going on as would be the case where you live! Plus there are probably more people out and about in this video than in many other city videos by this publisher.

[@bchristian85]

@@Soonerinseattle OKC is always about to finally arrive within "the next few years" and never does. The thing is, OKC is what it is and that is a car oriented city. There's walkable places and districts but they aren't as lively as in other cities, especially if it isn't a Friday or Saturday night or if there isn't a Thunder game happening. That's fine though. While OKC may be less lively than other cities on the surface, it is a lot more accessible. Ironically, the city I live in now has a lot more to do, but I did a lot more when I lived in OKC.

[@princessshenaniganspresent5538]

Is this on a Sunday? Its looking very people-less

[@ronald2ei]

Yes, this is what it looks like on Sunday morning. If it was Saturday morning there would've been many more people, and if week day the streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians.

[@tony_4792]

In weekdays there’s like 3-5 more people.

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Saturday afternoon

[@oldfarmshow]

[@AnthonyMartinez-qz2nz]

Love this video but where is the traffic lol where is everyone

[@mynameiscolb]

A weekend in July. Everyone is probably at the lake. Lol

[@tony_4792]

Is always like this, is depressing.

[@smackindabox]

Downtown is pretty empty for being the largest city in the state.. also without that one building (that actually looks out of place there) wouldn’t be much of a skyline at all…

[@kennypowers1945]

Well they are about to build another building double the tallest one’s height. This is a Sunday morning and many are in church or at work, and this ain’t the only part of okc (it’s the 4th largest city per sq Mile in the USA), there lots going on in other parts of okc

[@Solidcambo]

Damn my my small town in nc looks like it has more people and things going on than okc

[@BobbyJackson-up7gb]

Growing

[@kingzhibrhanfabrizio1759]

The lack of people is troubling

[@a-d-m23]

There’s no lack of people, this is most likely very early on a Sunday morning

[@markrichards6863]

I've been there. It's too spread out, not walking and rather boring. An dense urban core would be more interesting.

[@milklordnomadic]

insanely badly zoned and laid out city for the population size. Cool to see though.

[@patricianorman209]

@marcbayarea1980 Oh! I totally understand that! Thank U for explaining! Nice, clean city!!

[@marcbayarea1980]

​​@@patricianorman209Yes, it is! I love OKC! The city is actually larger than Los Angeles in size(not population), so there are many business and entertainment districts scattered around the city many miles away from one another , which gives the feeling of multiple downtowns.

[@rchilde1]

go back and observe many people, especially in Bricktown and near the two parks. In the CBD, not so much but that's true for most big cities during off hours, not exclusive to Oklahoma City. And, as was mentioned - this is July (the hottest month) where temps get above 110 F and humidity above 50%; not many will be out during the height of this climate regardless of where it is, let alone a Sunday.

[@johnnywright5236]

at start it looks like a war zone

[@9876543219132]

this must be a sunday drive, because The City is very active. The homeless population is live and well through out the city. alone with stray dogs of all kind juss roaming lose. The city is spacious.

[@Travisb238]

I guess all the homeless and stray dogs were at church during this drive
