Will Rogers Archway


This is possibly my favorite building in Oklahoma. It hovers over the Interstate and sort of welcomes travelers to the southwestern U.S. For a long time it was the largest McDonald's in the world, which is what it was on my first visit back in the 1980s. Then in 2014 it was renovated and renamed "Will Rogers Archway". This current version of the building is slightly more tasteful and has more architectural gravitas. But don't get too excited; it's still part of a near treeless expanse of concrete baking in the hot sun.
