Uptown
Further north is Uptown, bounded roughly by NW 23rd Street on the south, I-235 on the east, I-44 on the north and Pennsylvania on the west. The area is home to historic tree-lined neighborhoods, Oklahoma City University, and numerous ethnic shops and gritty enclaves.
NW 23rd, Classen Blvd., Western Ave. and NW 39th west of Classen Blvd. are all current or historic alignments of U.S. Route 66 that snake through Uptown. This stretch is characterized by small Art Deco storefronts, re-purposed bungalows, and Route 66 icons such as the Milk Bottle Building, the Gold Dome, and the neon signs of the Tower and Will Rogers Theaters.
