If you ever in the area and into art deco and architecture, tour downtown Tulsa, OK
Im sensing a theme here in that many Midwestern cities have alot of Art Deco architecture. Is it because the Midwest had the most development during this time period?

Love the art deco of the Golden Gate Bridge

Birmingham still has remnants of that style in some of the older buildings downtown, and it's great. The new apartment blocks being built are just...boring looking.

Same for auto design since around 1980.

In Tulsa's case I think it was "old oil" and real estate money. Waite Phillips, brother to Frank Phillips, Phillips Petroleum, was a millionaire real estate developer. Also Thomas Gilcrease, oilman from OK; JP Getty lived in the Tulsa back in the day too. Now, George Kaiser, billionaire, and founder of Kaiser Francis Oil, gives hundreds of millions to the City of Tulsa. They have great parks throughout the city because of him and other wealthy donors.
That's overall what I know with regards to Tulsa. They were into art and giving back to the community in which they lived or came up in business in. So having your office in a nice building made a statement.

Bland functionality can't account for some of the ugly vehicles out there

If you’re ever in east-central Mississippi, checkout Meridian’s Threefoot Building.
Built right before the Great Depression, when I lived in Meridian in 1993-4 it was empty except for the Threefoot Deli on the ground floor. Fortunately it was saved and repurposed as a Marriott hotel.

Dallas Fair Park has a bunch of what I think might be art deco architecture. But keep ya head on a swivel in that neighborhood these days...

Lakefront airport in New Orleans is an excellent example. They did an incredible job restoring it to it's former glory
I was coming here to mention the airport.

Jackson, MS is actually quite art deco…
Realizing that Jackson is probably the art deco capital of the south. It’s a damn shame what’s happened to the city.
