Late last week I was watching Pardon the Interruption on ESPN. They had a substitute "analyst" on that day for one of the two regular guys. When the topic of the name for the new OKC NBA franchise (rumored to be "Storm") came up, this guy went off. He didn't like the name, didn't like that the former Seattle Super Sonics had moved to OKC, and didn't like OKC in general. "What is there to do there besides sing 'Oklahoma'?" Of course, I wanted to ask him when the last time was he had spent any time in OKC. My guess would be a long time.
Those who have watched the renaissance of OKC since 1993 know its transformation has been significant. Those who have actually spent some time there in the last 3-5 years know even better.
As further confirmation, check out the recent article from the NY Times Travel section.

Go Grant! So did you call in and 'splain things to him? You have to be the OKC expert--you should call. Seriously.
By the way... thank you for filling in the empty spaces in my life by finally writing this blog!!! I look forward to it and to the day when we will all say we knew you when...
