Norman Is a short drive south of downtown Oklahoma City is its largest suburb and the home of University of Oklahoma. (http://www.ou.edu/) The university is the primary attraction in Norman, with a beautifully landscaped Victorian campus and several fine museums, including the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History (http://www.snomnh.ou.edu/) and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art (http://www.ou.edu/fjjma/). Norman is also significant for its leading role in meteorology Doppler radar, the basis of modern weather prediction was invented there as evidenced by the National Weather Center, which offers tours. North of the university is Campus Corner, a dense conglomeration of bars, music venues, restaurants, and retail catering to the college crowd. For those with less disposable income, cheaper bars, music venues, restaurants and retail can be found further north in Norman's small Downtown Core along Main Street.
Edmond Is a rather affluent suburb due North of Oklahoma City. It has some great qualities, including nice restaurants, the third largest university in the state University of Central Oklahoma (http://www.ucok.edu) and some quaint, quiet neighborhoods near its uniquely successful downtown business district.
