Edmond is home to more than a dozen patio options from the first sip of coffee to the late-night cocktail. Try one of these patios the next time you are out and about. Downtown Edmond: Edmond Railyard - with covered outdoor dining both in the atrium and out on the large patio, guests can dine al fresco after you’ve ordered from one of the nine eateries located in this food hall.

By Jennifer Thornton Edmond Tourism Director  I was thrilled when Ray asked if I would step in and write his column this week.
