In a 30-minute walk south on Harvey Avenue heading to Chesapeake Energy Arena, a charming Midtown mural greets passersby with a giant reminder: “Keep Oklahoma Friendly!”
Equal parts Andy Warhol and Woody Guthrie, this folksy-flavored oversized wall decree has pop-art flair and a playful attitude. The block lettering dazzled in a color palette reminiscent of those Hot Dog on a Stick uniforms. “Oklahoma” in the loopy script typeface just emanated fun.

The local masterpiece evoked not only a spirit of daring spontaneity, but also a sense of purpose with a smile.
