Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but unless you are going fast enough
it will not shift into overdrive because it acts as the " top " gear ( on my Explorer I
have to be going 50 miles per hour / 80 kilometers per hour before it shifts into
overdrive )

Yes. Overdrive is best used with longer trips at relatively constant high speed. City driving, with lots of stops, starts, and slow speeds is not what the overdrive is intended for.

Should overdrive be used while driving at all times?
If you are city driving, and stopping at many lights. The tranny might be shifting into overdrive constantly for just a few seconds before you have to stop again, which would cause excessive wear on an expensive transmission. Personally, in this situation I would disengage the overdrive.
Should you be in Drive or Overdrive when driving in the city at typical city speeds?
Unless you are towing something or encountering steep hills (do you live in San Fran?), you should always be in overdrive. The lock-up into overdrive won't occur unless you are going fast enough, anyway, so there is no reason not to keep the gear selector in OD.

When do you drive a car with overdrive off?
"Overdrive off" is appropriate for hilly roads and mountains, also you can use when you need some extra performance, for instance, when you are entering a highway and you need to accelerate very quickly to reach the speed you need. Some models recommend overdrive off for towing. It's highly not recommended to use the overdrive function for everyday driving because it wears engines and transmissions out quicker.
