Route 66 passes through Edmond on its way between Oklahoma City and the smaller towns to the northeast. The experience here is not neon-and-motel nostalgia on a grand scale; it is more a matter of following the old road through a city that has grown around it.
If you are driving the Mother Road, Edmond is a useful pause for food, fuel, and a campus walk. Keep expectations grounded and enjoy it as one chapter in Oklahoma's long Route 66 stretch.
