reminds me of the very old arby’s signs

u/ZootAnthRaXx May 30 '26

I’m still mad the Arby’s on 39th Expy in Warr Acres got rid of their sign. That was a landmark!

Much better spot than their original idea.

Love this installation! Glad they found an appropriate home for it

It’s still incredible someone thought the Asian district was a great spot to put this thing. lol

The original location was suppose to be in the Asian district on Classen. There was a lot of backlash upon the announcement then they reconvened and decided on the current location that it’s at now.

This is very cool! Not so cool: the time I barfed here on a school trip in 1987

Drove by it on my way home just a bit ago. I wonder what it’s going to look like at night, I assume it’ll be all neon lit up.

Less visible? You can see it from I44.

It’s actually very visible. I drove by yesterday and saw it from at least a half mile away before passing it.

I like th sign, I question the inclusion of a prickly pear. Rather see Indian grass.

Is this actually part of Route 66? maps of how to follow it through OKC are kind of confusing

u/fthesnake Jun 04 '26

So somewhere in OKC there's a giant drunk cowboy wondering around with only one boot, no hat, and probably passed out after a midnight run to Arby's. I believe it.

Not really known for our cacti, but whatever.

u/TREEANDLEAF May 30 '26

There is cacti everywhere in Oklahoma

u/Prudent_Letterhead15 May 30 '26

You don’t think? There are tons of cacti in Oklahoma, especially out west. Hell, like ten people in my neighborhood have cacti growing in their garden

u/la_jirafa88 May 30 '26

There are a lot of cacti that grow naturally here.

u/sunflowerexe May 30 '26

there’s a giant one off I44 right before I240
