Next up on our 3-part cinematic summer journey through OKC with Cadillac:
📍 Wheeler District

Where street tacos, Ferris wheels and craft coffee meet riverside views and modern charm — welcome to the Wheeler District. Once an abandoned airpark, it’s now a vibrant, walkable community built on connection. Grab a slow-drip from Clarity Coffee, let the kids roam by the playground while you enjoy lunch from Taco Nation OKC, and wrap the day with sushi or wood-fired pizza. This isn’t just a neighborhood — it’s Oklahoma City reimagined.

In partnership with Cadillac and featuring Emmy-winning filmmaker Matt Payne Media, this exclusive three-part series explores the style, flavor, and soul of three standout districts: The Horizons, Wheeler, and the iconic Stockyards.

When summer hits in OKC, there’s just so much an air conditioner or an ice cream cone can do. Once July rolls around, only a swimming pool can satisfy. Thankfully, hotels throughout the metro rise to the occasion with pool bars that are accessible for guests and locals alike. For non-guests, some require pool passes, while others are free. No matter the cost of entry, though, the opportunity to sip rosé at pool’s edge is priceless. From wading pools to water parks, here are the places to grab a cocktail poolside. ⬇️

Meet Logan Holt, Mayor David Holt's sweet, loving and chill rescue dog.

According to his DNA test, Logan is part chihuahua, pomeranian, and pug—basically a triple shot of energy and sass. But don’t let the breeds fool you. Logan prefers a slower pace: soaking up the sun, snuggling into laps, and making the rounds as a professional comforter.

OKC Mayor David Holt adopted Logan in April 2017 when he was just six months old. Since then, Logan has taken on more than just the role of family pet. He’s become an ambassador for rescue animals everywhere. Representing the power of unconditional love, Logan reminds us that adopted pets don’t just change our lives; they complete them. ❤️
