One building that has recently made an impact on me is The Collective in Oklahoma City. It is extremely modern and just opened this year, but I found it so unique that I had to write about it. The Collective is essentially a fancy food court. There are 11 restaurants, a bar, 95 person patio, and outdoor seating area here. I drove by The Collective about a month ago and actually went back to eat here last week just because it really caught my eye. For a lack of better words,  I’ve never quite seen such a nice food court. It is very open and modern. At night the lights in and surrounding the building are very unique. The rooftop patio really caught my attention, and it is not uncommon to see a live band performing here on busy nights either. The significance of The Collective for me was that it was one of the few public places I have ever simply driven by and been taken back by. It’s not a large place, but it appears to really draw in people creating a great community atmosphere. Additionally, The Collective is somewhat of a representation of the great new places being built in OKC. It truly is a growing city, and it seems like another great public place gets built every time I visit Oklahoma City.
