La La Land Kind Cafe opened at Oklahoma City's Classen Curve. The cafe serves coffee- and matcha-based drinks, signature toasts and pastries. The new shop, located at 5850 N. Classen Blvd., is the Dallas-based chain's first Oklahoma location, according to The Oklahoman. That address differs from an earlier report by okctalk.com, which had pointed to 5825 NW Grand near Western, in the space formerly occupied by Freebird Shoes — a discrepancy the available reporting does not explain.

The scent of warm bread and fresh croissants. The cheerful cacophony of clinking spritzes and espresso martinis. The salted butter, smoked porchetta and pistachio cream.

Photography by Jared Kinley, Rachel Maucieri, Josh Masterson, Starving Artist Co. and Selena Romero. All eyes are on Oklahoma City. I know I say it every year around this time, but as someone who has lived all over the country and travels multiple times per month, there’s no place like OKC. That’s true of so many aspects of my adopted hometown, from its booming arts scene and its impending colossal coliseum to its characteristic neighborhoods, year-round events, world-class hotels and metropolitan developments.

How 'Boomer Sooner,' 'Oklahoma!' became state's shared voice | Opinion

In 1953, a debate over Oklahoma’s state song was interrupted by a performance. Rep. George Nigh wanted to replace the solemn “Oklahoma, A Toast” with the title number from Rodgers' and Hammerstein’s musical. An opponent had defended the old song by singing it on the House floor. Nigh returned with a women’s college choir and Ridge Bond, an Oklahoma actor who had played Curly on Broadway. Bond came through the chamber door singing “Oklahoma!” The lawmakers stood and cheered. Nigh got his bill passed. The Oklahoma Historical Society preserves this wonderfully improbable episode. The Legislature had not been persuaded by a written argument alone. Its members had heard what the proposed anthem could do when sung by a roomful of people. More: Quick thinking and a last-minute plan helped 'Oklahoma' become an enduring state song Football Saturdays in Norman offer a more familiar example. When the Pride of Oklahoma strikes up “Boomer Sooner,” the song asks very little of anyone who knows it. The words are short. The tune is quick. You can be thinking about the next play and still join in. Someone who learned it 40 years ago sings alongside a student who learned it last week. There
