OU Adonis - we might be on the same page here. If Purcell wants to tout the horse farms and ranches then fine by me. I just don't like the states largest city touting that it is some kind of 1890's western town in the midst of 21st century America.

When I was at OU there was a one week "celebration" of American Indians. The leader of their group went on and on about how they wanted to use the one week time period to dispell the sterotypes about Indians. Well guess what their big display was. A freaking tee-pee! Is their anyone in the world that doesn't think Indians still live in tee-pees? That is the sterotype. A better use of their time and effort would have been to show the American Indians impact on the modern day world by identifying researchers, scientist, government leaders, athletes with American Indian heritage. That would have dispelled the sterotypes.

When the City doesn't make an effort to put forth a modern day image then it allows the sterotype to continue. I for one am tired of it. Yes the new logo for CVB looks better but it still has the boots in it. Boots in downtown OKC died in the 1980's in reality but lives on in the marketing efforts of central Oklahoma. Let's move on already.
