Oklahoma City 101 - All the Metro Basics for those New to OKC

By Adam Knapp, About.com Guide

Since Oklahoma City is so spread out, there are key commercial regions in several areas. In the Northwest region of the city discussed earlier, you'll find Penn Square Mall, one of three primary shopping malls in the metro.

Even further north, almost to Edmond, the Memorial Corridor is a thriving area as well as a traffic nightmare. Nevertheless, you'll find the popular Quail Springs Mall there and more chain stores than you can imagine.

And if you're down south, there's Crossroads Mall, not quite the shopping mecca it used to be.

Wherever you find yourself in OKC, though, you can always check a business's reputation online. Remember also that with so many suburbs, your sales tax rate can differ greatly depending on where you are.
