Title: I found a green sign that says "Oklahoma City" instead of "Okla. City"
Post by: bugo on June 06, 2013, 10:01:19 PM
It's on NB Yale Ave and points towards westbound I-44/OK 66.  I'll try to get a picture soon.

is that the north end of 27?  if so, I believe that sign was there in 2006, but no longer there in 2009.

I should have clarified: I found a big green sign within the borders of the state of Oklahoma with the unabbreviated name of Oklahoma City.

There is one in Norman too. AR, KS, and TX all spell out "Oklahoma City", but in Oklahoma it's usually "Okla. City".

There's also one on I-44 West at Exit 215 (OK 97) in Sapulpa.

I also found a small green sign that spells the name out on WB Skelly Drive near 21st Street.
