is okc that bad?

never been there.

 

Portland is like that....but much better!

 

Just like you've never been to Portland.

OKC doesn't hold a candle to Seattle, too bad stern didn't see it that way, the I-5 rivalry would be in full swing

 

There really isn't much of a difference between Omaha, Nebraska and Oklahoma City.

The most undesirable city to play in by far.

 

Man and I thought we were bad over in Central Oregon. We had a saying. Bend is a city. Redmond is a town. Prineville is just a hole in the ground.

 

OKC doesn't hold a candle to ESTACADA! The place is brutal! I can't see anybody wanting to go there. I can tell you that the hotel all the teams stays in is 1 block from the arena. Downtown is dead/empty! There is a section about 20 blocks away that they have revived called BrickTown. Couple cool restaraunts and a minor league ball park. That's it! No joke, Salt Lake City is more cosmopolitan then OKC!

 

OKC usually lands on one of the best places to live lists. Now that may not be true for a 20 something year old black guy, who is all about face time, but in general, it's great. It's about the same distance from Dallas as Portland is from Seattle. I have been to OKC a few times and really enjoyed it. It's a really nice city, and back to race for a moment, has mony more black people than Portland does. I know several NBA players, and all of them tell me that Portland is so white that they feel uncomfortable as a young player anyway.

 

I'd much rather be in Omaha than OKC. Omaha has a river, trees and you can grow things. OKC is a dump. Fuck, I'd rather be in Tulsa than OKC.

 

This is all true. It's one thing to attract older guys, but like I said up there, young guys looking for face time might have issues.

 

I saw that survey. It was in "Meth Monthly", right? Or was it "The Tweeker Times"?

Are you guys trying to say that okc is to the NBA as what mixum is to these boards?

 

I don't know about OKC landing on any best places to live list but that shows you how fucked up those lists are. I have been to over 40+ states. I was in OK for a while when I was in the service and for me it was one of the most depressing ugly places I have ever visited or lived and which also includes Vietnam.

 

Nice! What a ringing endorsement. Sign me up! The only way I could get more excited is if it was pretty nice.

 

I liked this section of the OKC overview

 

examples??? why is okc so bad???? gloomy wether..always cloudy? looks like northeast in november year round??? nothing to do? people suck? no beaches??? bad radio???

 

There is a high snake population.

 

There is nothing there but flat dusty land with hardly anything(trees, water, mountains) to see no matter how far you look. You can see forever because it is flat and there is nothing to block your view. It was just very depressing for me being from the Northwest with green trees, mountains and the ocean.

 

I live in Tulsa not OKC, but other than the cost of living there's not a much to like about Oklahoma.
