    Re: What does everyone think of Lawton?

    Lawton = the most obvious place in the US with both big town (crime, drugs, etc) and small town (lack of really anything to do) problems.

    It's a hole. The guy I work with in the lab is from there, and he get's PO'd anytime anyone mentions that he's from there. So that happens regularly .

    The best thing going for Lawton: China Wok Express. Best. Fastfood chinese. Evar.

    Mmmmmmm...chicken in garlic sauce, no vegetables.

    Re: What does everyone think of Lawton?

    I went to school with a guy from Lawton.
    He said it sucked and I thought he was a jerk.
    It's also close to Texas?
    That's all I knows.

    Same goes for Tulsa and OKC.

    I grew up and lived there until I transferred to OU. It's ok as medium sized OK cities go. Cameron Univerisity's Business school is actually pretty good. When I transferred to OU, the classes at OU that I had to retake were easier and the average OU professor was worse than the average Cameron professor in regards to their knowledge and teaching ability.

    The biggest trailer park I've ever seen is in Lawton.

    True. There's an odd mix of real estate around OCU. I also like the pretententious subdivisions in far south Oklahoma City that are fronted by the next step up from a dirt road.

    Yep, every town with a military base is an armpit. That's one rule of life that you can always count on.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. I lived there for 18 months and it was the longest 3 years of my life.

    Tough crowd.

    A question for all of you elitists living out of state: is there anywhere in Oklahoma you would consider living?
    Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.

    I can vouch for that. When I had a job prospect to possibly go back to Norman the thought of losing China Wok Express was what bothered me most! I order Hot and Spicy Chicken there so much the lady behind the counter gets confused if I order something else.

    Lawton is where I work and live during the week. I always come to Norman on the weekend. So Lawton is OK with me. Lawton does have a really nice park - Lake Elmer Thomas park. It has a 2-mile track going around it, a big lake, and thousands of prairie dogs making squeaking noises at you to stay away from their den.

    What everyone said about military towns is true. To that list I would add that every other car is "pimped out", has a small Puerto Rican flag, or a decal of that boy peeing on a Ford or Chevy symbol.

    The best thing about Lawton is that it is close to Meers.

    OKC or Tulsa, yes.

    Lawton, no.
