The Place to Be - 9/13/2009
I've lived in Shawnee for 23 years now and my family has been here since statehood in 1907. I find that Shawnee is a delightful town to live in! It has all of your basic needs, but is also close enough to Oklahoma City that you can go to dinner there if you want to. It has that great small town feel, but is big enough that you don't see someone you know every time you go out. There are two universities in town and constant activities. It's very easy to get involved in town life![read more...] |

Excellent School - 6/26/2009
Having lived in Shawnee for the past 2 years, I have had the opportunity to deal with all grade levels. Shawnee's school system is able to handle both my Gifted and Talented Middle Schooler and my Special Education Kindergartner. I am extremely impressed with the extracurricular opportunities, including my daughter's involvment with Oklahoma Baptist University's Childrens Honor Choir.
With the low cost of living, excellent schools, small town atmosphere, and easy access to Oklahoma City the only thing deterring me from living in Shawnee forever is the extreme heat (103 today with heat index of 116).[read more...] |

Shawnee - 3/31/2007
I grew up in Shawnee but have lived in Carlisle, PA, Poteau, OK, Terre Haute, IN, Houston, Beaumont, and Port Arthur TX, and Rockford, IL and I can tell you that it is too hot, too cold, too much snow, and too windy in all the places I've lived except Texas as far as cold and snow go. Rockford is way too cold and way too windy and so was Terre Haute. The summer weather is nicer, but if you don't like wind, don't come to Rockford. It blows plus it snows like crazy and the temperature is still below freezing at night.[read more...] |
