Wake Up Oklahoma

[Liam]

Does anyone here, live in Oklahoma City? A move to someplace warmer in the Winter and lower in elevation is in my future. Oklahoma City is one place I'm considering, and I would appreciate any insights or comments you might have. Thanks in advance.

I personally think finding a job in Oklahoma is dependent on what you do
I lived there 4 years and couldn't find work the last 2 years in the profession I've been in for 15 years
I think it also depends on which city or town you chose to make your home in
Right now the economy is hard hit everywhere and those that have jobs should keep them
Just my own opinion
And I actually liked it in Oklahoma, but unless you're in one of the big cities, you're isolated from community and jobs

Yes Wolfy I'm sure those little towns far from big cities are mostly rural farming communities. I just read an article in US News and World report that Oklahoma's employment market is the best in the nation. The manpower employment outlook for the first quarter is 60 percent higher than the national average. 17 percent of companies expect to expand their work force, 75 percent expect to maintain current levels, and 3 percent expect to cut payroll and 5 percent were unsure. So that's a positive report as far as jobs go.

Life has a funny way of taking turns and I'm back in Oklahoma
I'll be in OKC on the 28th and that's the area I'll be looking to call home
I have orientation for a PT job there and that's a start anyhow
When one door opens, more are sure to follow
I think maybe this was where I was supposed to be all the time because it kept calling me back
I was edgy and stressed for over a month, but am quite calm since being back here
I know I certainly missed my cats and they missed me bunches

i'm finally moving to OK this month! not sure when this month, i hope near the end of the month but could be as soon as ASAP, lol. i'll be living in Garvin Co., near Elmore City. i'll be making frequent trips to OKC and am really looking forward to being in a more temperate clime than WV! all okies please drop by this thread and say hello! tell me where Y/you live and something about your area!

I'll be leaving Stillwater by months end hoping to find something cheap in OKC that will take my rescues and be bug free. My drive to work right now is one hour fifteen minutes.

Let me know when you get to Oklahoma and hopefully we'll be able to catch up with each other and maybe get some of these other Okies to come out.

I live in Oklahoma City and I have NO earthly idea where Elmore City is. But passing through and making new friends is always a possibility. Welcome to the best state in the Union!!

Hey Liam, I live in OKC, I have my whole life except for the four years I was in the Army. What would you like to know? If you're still looking for info that is.

Hey You

Just came by to say HI... I lived in Oklahoma for many years, in and around Tulsa... I have many AWESOME, WONDERFUL AND ABSOLUTELY THE BEST friends I have ever known... I'm back in Florida now but I miss you all and would like to keep in touch if you all will let me hang out !!!
Have an awesome night

Hey moonfemme, nice to see someone else has posted recently! You are more than welcome to hang out with us Okies!!

[JAGG]

It's me JAGG I'm in Tulsa!!! Good friends with moonfemme. Liam ask any questions you have about OKC . we could probably answer them. There are lots of jobs here, cost of living is low, and housing is very affordable, not alot of crime and people are friendly. But rude drivers as a whole, friendly in person. Neighbors look out for each other and aside from winter the weather is pretty nice. An occasional tornado here and there but no big deal really. It's a pretty good place to live. Like any other place it has it's pro's and con's , every place is what you make it .

Elmore City is about an hour south of OKC
The movie Footloose was based on that town
It didn't allow dancing in it for about 100 years, a stupid law

Pres, you have relatives there? I mean, how did you come to choose Elmore City?

Oh, edited to add, I think you have to be born here to be a true Okie, lol.

I'm hoping to relocate to Tulsa/Bixby/Jenks area within the next few months to be with my sweetie.
Absolutely adore Tulsa...It's such a beautiful city.
I do agree about the drivers, there are some crazy ones out there
