Bricktown, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
These are all bad photographs from my hotel window of the Bricktown district of Oklahoma City. I didn't have time to tour it, so this is what I have
I've been to Oklahoma City quite a few times over the years, but several of my visits predate the period at which I packed around an iPhone for photographs. I'm sure the first time I was there I didn't take any photos at all, and I probably didn't have a cell phone.
Bricktown is the name that's been attached to the old downtown section of the city. Oklahoma City has done a really nice job of making this old section of what's now a fairly old Midwestern city pretty hip and cool.

No more oil derricks downtown? My great-uncle owned a Ford dealership there, and when we visited, that was my takeaway memory.
You are probably remembering the oil wells that are on the Oklahoma state capital grounds.
A fellow I was talking to mentioned while in OKC mentioned an oil well somewhere on the edge of town, noting that he had an interest in it.
Of course, a lot of oil wells no longer have the "horse head" type pump jacks anymore, so they can be there, and you don't really notice them the way that you once would have. Many still operate that way, but fewer than used to be the case.
