daniel, where are you in NE oklahoma? I'm in Pryor. Not a native, I came here when a company in the industrial park here hired me out of college at OU two years ago.
I grew up in the OKC area, Norman and Edmond. Apparently a lot of people don't realize Oklahoma has cities...sure it's no Houston or Chicago but the OKC metro area contains over 1.1 million people. I much prefer OKC to Tulsa as OKC has put a lot into downtown development in the past 15 years or so, to the point where there's actually a reason to go downtown other than employment. Not to mention Tulsa's roads are falling apart.
