The buzz is that OKC lately has become attractive to twenty-somethings -- young professionals and young couples.
Well, I came across what might be a good example of this.

He's from Oregon and she's from Tennessee. They met, fell in love, and now raise a family in OKC.
And blog about it, with extensive and beautiful photos.

One thing in particular that caught my attention was a series of posts called 'Reasons to Love OKC'.
In each, they blog about a particular place or event that they think makes OKC a cool and fun place to live.
Here are a few:

Here's a fun Halloween pic from a recent blog entry:

Let's see... skeletons with bow ties, carnations, and top hats, sitting on a bench with jaws agog...
I like it!
