too hot

4/8/2007
I lived in OKC for 4 years, moved away in 2002. It is a developing place (slowly) and it is (as the Okie's say) "OK". Real estate is cheap, if you plan to spend the rest of your life there, because it won't appreciate, so if you sell it, you won't get much back either. The summer's are so hot, you can't even enjoy a swimming pool. You just simply can't go outside between June and September. Winters are sunny, but everything dies in July, the grass turns yellow and dry, the trees are small, very depressing. There is NOTHING close by, you have to fly (with at least 1 connection) to everywhere. People are friendly and the southern accent is mild. Downtown is actually not bad, Bricktown is developing and there are a lot of bars and restaurants in town.
So if you don't mind the heat (hot oven-like) and the remoteness, you can consider moving there. It is not for me though.
