Hey there, fellow Oklahoma City enthusiasts! Let’s hop into our imaginary time machine and zoom back to October 1914. I’m about to paint you a picture of NW 12th Street at Harvey Avenue that’s so vivid you can almost hear the rustling autumn leaves.

Back in the day, this spot was the epitome of residential bliss. Picture charming houses with front porches—probably with a few rocking chairs—and kids playing tag in the yards. It was the kind of neighborhood where everyone knew your name and your dog’s name, too.

Now, hold onto your hats because this street has done a complete 180. Those cozy homes? They’ve been swapped out for shiny commercial buildings. It’s like the neighborhood traded in its comfy old loafers for a pair of stilettos.

Fun fact: I was born just up the block at the Polyclinic Hospital. If you’re scratching your head wondering where that is, join the club—it’s history, too. Seems like everything around here has a “once upon a time” story.

If you’re into the whole Oklahoma City metro scene or you’re a real estate junkie, this little trip down memory lane is a goldmine. It’s crazy to think about how much our city has changed over the years. It’s like watching one of those home makeover shows in fast-forward.
