THE PLAZA DISTRICT

Oklahoma City's Plaza District was born in the early 20th century as a neighborhood hub of commerce. After years of decline, the neighborhood experienced a rebirth in the late 90s, attracting a range of artistic endeavors, public space, community investment, and creative entrepreneurship.
