Last year, a report came out that had eyebrows raising all across the Sooner State. One of Oklahoma's towns had been named among the rudest places in the country.

One year later, total redemption - or better polling in the survey - as Oklahoma City is now considered one of the most polite places to visit in America.

Did OKC go out of the way to turn this rude reputation around?

Probably not. All the same, I don't think many people really took the rude reports to be serious. I mean, you've been to OKC before, and while you may or may not have had the most polite encounters with the capital city locals, it's hard to believe it would be considered rude.

Full disclosure, when driving in 89'ers traffic, all bets are off and horns are perfectly acceptable means of communication... normally reserved for the slowpoke drivers with Kansas and Texas tags.

The stats.

While there can still be room for improvement, OKC was named as the tenth "least rude" city in America.

If you're curious, Omaha, Nebraska was ranked #1. You can see the full write-up about it if you want here.

Unique Things to Do in Oklahoma City

There is no shortage of things to do in OKC. While there are a handful of things everyone knows about--OKC Zoo, Myriad Gardens, Bricktown, etc-- there are even more lesser-known places to experience one-of-a-kind Oklahomaness. Some things cost a little money, others are completely free, but it's all fun for the whole family.

Check Out This Fancy NYC-Style Apartment For Sale in Oklahoma City

Downtown Oklahoma City might be the last place you'd expect to find luxury beyond a night or two at the Skirvin Hotel, but there are some shockingly fancy and plush apartments available in our state capital city.

Case and point, 131 Park Avenue. A 5,254 square foot, 3-bedroom, 5-bath penthouse apartment on the market for $2.5million. Not only does it come with nearly a century of history, but there's also a garage space, elevator service, and sweeping views of Downtown OKC.
