Thinking of Valentine’s Day Plans?

Everyone want’s their loved one to feel special and OKC has a lot to offer from a romantic evening just the two of you to a more kiddo friendly event made special with a day out at a museum.

  • Downtown fun could include a ride on a water taxi in our famous canal and a stop to play a few games at the HeyDay arcade.
  • The Myriad Botanical Gardens or the Will Rogers Botanical gardens both offer a beautiful plants for a stroll in nature.
  • Visit one of our museums to learn more about so many great topics including Art at OKCMOA, Bones at The Skeleton Museum, Western Heritage at the Cowboy Museum, or Banjo’s at the American Banjo Museum.
  • Get a professional massage at the Resonance Mind Body Wellness Spa on Route66.

If going out just isn’t in the cards for your plans this year you could always indulge in some sweet treats, like those made by these locally owned shops. They make a great gift or you could even just go to treat yourself, we won’t tell. Buying local is always a great way to support the community we live in, but if it’s tasty it gets extra points in my book!

  • Visit Mollycoddled Hash Slingers who makes amazing handmade candies using many locally sourced ingredients and even some fun Made in Oklahoma gifts!
  • Check out MentaliTea in Bethany which is a coffee and tea shop serving breakfast and lunch but their pies make a great addition to any celebration.
  • Not Cho Cheesecake is a locally owned specialty shop delighting the community with their variety of cheesecake options made in a personal or sharable size option.

Eat out tonight to help us raise funds for 2023 projects!

Johnnie Haynes opened the first location in 1971 and locals have been raving about it ever since. If you are new to the area or just have not made it over to the NW Expressway location, I strongly suggest you give it a try. This location has been partnering with our neighborhood association for quite some time now. On the 4th Friday of every month by eating out for lunch or dinner and letting your server know you are there to support Harvest Hills South Neighborhood Association, we are raising funds for the continued improvements being made in our community.

We would like to thank you all for participating in 2022 and we hope we can get even more participation in 2023. Anyone can help eating at a locally owned restaurant that we all know and love, so don’t forget to tell your friends, family and coworkers!!

Did you miss our neighborhood meeting??

The Harvest Hills South Neighborhood Association invited Chad Meisenburg of the City of Oklahoma City to be our first guest speaker of 2023. We are so thankful that Chad came to answer our questions regarding the construction happening in around our community. His insight into the timeline and planning of current OKC improvements was very helpful.

  • Construction on 82nd and Council will take roughly 3-4 months and will include a stoplight with a blinking left turn arrow to enter the neighborhood while traveling North on Council.
  • Widening of Wilshire West of the turnpike has also included a lowering of a hill for better line of sight for those turning onto Wilshire from side roads. (Turnpike bridge will continue to be narrow as it must be widened by Turnpike Authority)
  • Bridge crossing NW Expressway at Wilshire is nearly done and should be open to foot and bike traffic in roughly 3 months.
  • North bound County Line Road is getting an East bound turn lane onto NW Expressway.

Our neighborhood is located in Ward 1 and this has been one of the fastest growing areas in the OKC metro so we can expect to see these types of construction projects for the foreseeable future as new housing will bring more traffic to these intersections around the north west corner of OKC.

Martin Luther King Day

Honoring the legacy of the Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in 2023. How can we celebrate and honor the strides of not just MLK but civil rights leaders both from the past and currently shaping our country?

Learn about other civil rights figures such as the investigative journalist Ida B Wells and congressman John Lewis who expanded voting rights.

Visit a museum honoring the civil rights movement such as the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee or take a virtual reality tour like this one available through Penn State’s website.

Volunteer in your community through your local American Red Cross, send cards to deployed service members through Soldier’s Angels or donate to a coat drive like the KFOR Warmth 4 winter which has a drop off at the local Rockwell Plaza YMCA.
