The Plaza District

Oklahoma City is surprisingly cooler than most people might think, especially as of late. Several areas in the city are slowly being revitalized and revamped. One of those areas is The Plaza District.



The Plaza District was formed in the 1920s as a thriving commerce area due to its location at the end of the Trolley line. Over the years as the needs in that area and the demographics changed the area began to decline dramatically. Within the last year the project to revitalize this area and bring back some of its historical roots began and was spearheaded with the opening of The Lyric Theatre.



This past weekend my mom and I went to check out the new area. We came across some very cool shops and checked out the amazing Lyric Theatre. The area looks great compared to what it was but it still needs a little bit of work.

It is amazing to see how much this city has changed in my lifetime and there is so much more to come!
