Review of Lawton, Oklahoma


lawton could do better
Star Rating - 8/17/2008
went to lawton to check it out and i thought tulsa was bland and bad. lawton is a smaller city and has a huge problem with crime and gangs as well. i have never seen a place like lawton before. dirty , wore out stores, nothing to do , no big box stores, resturants were dirty and limited on selection, most of the stuff in lawton is what you would find in a town of 20,000 to 30,000 people. not in a place with 90,000 people. this place is going to need a major influx in the economy to keep people from leaving, which it looks like 5% of them already left. can't say i blame them.. lawton oklahoma future ghost town.......

I know Lawton could do better, but at least there is something to do. Lawton is my hometown. I try to focus on it's good points. If your military you might be familiar with a place called Hinesville, Ga. It is a 16 mi. hole of 30000 with literally nothing to do but drink with the exception of 1 movie theater. No matter where you go there the people are rude an arrogant. This place made me really wish I was home.

I can't believe you used Lawton and Tulsa in the same sentence. Tulsa is a real city with lot's of entertainment.
