I agree OU Adonis. We may be PROUD of our city finally, but many folks are still insecure. I don't know any other major city in America that is embarrassed or doesn't embrace their past. Oklahomans (even some of us proud ones) still have a HUGE inferiority problem. When we learn to embrace our history and culture and past culture, THEN we will see the tourism coffers explode. People don't want to visit what they can get elsewhere, they want to come here for our unique history. Texas seems to embrace the Cowboy heritage just fine (and they are making bank off it).
