Oklahoma City is the Crossroads of America as Interstates 40 and 35 bisect the city turning Oklahoma City into a hub of activity. The capital of Oklahoma is a growing city that has only gotten better with age and though it has had more than its fair share of tragedies and heartbreaks it bounces back bigger, better, and stronger each time. It is a city that has lots to offer from a downtown entertainment district, colorful history, culture, and thanks to the Oklahoma City Thunder a place on the national stage.
