We’re back in person (albeit outside and safely distanced from one another)! We talk being back in the office, how much is too much when it comes to mask coordination, our Mask Up OKC campaign, supporting local businesses and some good experiences we’ve had at local shops lately, our educational environment and what districts are doing (and how to hear more from district leaders via Chamber events) in these wacky times, some good news blurbs you maybe have missed, the new OKC Welcome Guide and more. We also discuss a little T. Swift, the return of the ‘90s and other random items.
