Oklahoma City, A wonderful Place to work, live and
-

As anywhere; if you look for the bad you will find it "A. Lincoln". Oklahoma is a great place. I have read a post that states quite the contrary. To this my post is placed. One Ada is not on the 1-40 corridor, some driving around smoking your green. If you are unhappy here, you are not going to be happy anywhere. As far as being filthy, I can show you the same silly filth everywhere!! I do not see the racism that you point out, another total fabrication. Oklahoma & Oklahoma City welcomes a very diverse crowd of people.
Having lived the first part of my life in NE Ohio, Los Angeles, Portland, OR, Dallas, and Oklahoma, I find Oklahoma City the best place out of all them. Sure, there are plenty of fabricated stories and some true stories which are not good. I am only going to focus on the good things in the OKC, like a true okie does. We have an awesome park system which is never crowded. We have family values which are seldom found in other big cities (we have divorce rates only because we are still free to make our own choices here). We have police who are not as oppressive as any other city I have lived in. We have public officials who are not snobs and love the opportunity to sit and talk with you about your own personal issues. With that said I will tell you my own personal issue which brought me to Oklahoma and will forever keep me here. Business people in Oklahoma are the best. We have great capital sources for small businesses, low taxes and friendly people who still believe in supporting local businesses over the big guys. We have small towns right in the middle of our thriving city. We have culture events nearly everyday if you know how to look. We have 30+ airports within 30 miles of our major airport. We hold onto our roots while exploring our future. We have not shortage on nice housing in great neighborhoods. I could go on with the list all day. I want to let everyone who is thinking about relocating here that we are a great and wonderful place who will welcome you with open arms. When visiting us for your first time, stop by the mayors office, goto the local chamber and just have a cup of coffee and chat (the coffee is on them). If that is not your speed, head down to Brick Town, call a Realtor and check out our high rise condos downtown, or find a house with 20 acres in the city. Go visit our schools and see out wonderful children. If you do not feel like you can call this place home, no one will force you to stay, yet the whole time you are here you will be treated with a kindness you will find nowhere else.
