Alamogarbage, Hell Paso, etc.
ooh, ooh, I'm an out of state elitist.Tough crowd.
A question for all of you elitists living out of state: is there anywhere in Oklahoma you would consider living?
I am about to buy some acreage east of Norman.
I have never had a good opinion of Lawton, cept for a camp gf of mine, she had the best legs I'd seen to that point! She even won the award at camp for best legs! And yes, it was a church camp. And yes, she was from Ike. And no, I didn't hit it.
SoonerinabileneOh sweet jesus. Its like watching the special olympics in high definition on here now.

You just described every f'ing hillbilly neighborhood in the state!Oh, Fan, I would be proud to live anywhere in Oklahoma as long as the neighbors don't play the music too loud and there are no snotty nosed kids running wild.

I'd like to qualify my earlier post that implied all military towns are crapholes.
They are. But it's not because of the installation or people. It's because soldiers, jarheads, swabbies and (airmen) get crap pay, work crap hours and are young and stupid - like all young people are. Plus, they are usually away doing grunt work so the rest of us can complain about crap.

Usually it's not the entire cities, just the areas immediately surrounding them. The areas are usually older and filled with people and businesses who prey upon and take advantage of very young and naive enlisted personnel.
Lawton. Hmmm. I was stationed at Ft. Sill for a while. I vaguely remember a place called the Korean Lounge or something like that right off post.
I go down by Lawton (Wichita Mts.) a couple times a year. It's pretty nice. I've gone into Lawton maybe 4 times since 1974 when I was stationed there.
My opinion? It's OK. Probably a little higher than average gang activity for a town it's size (Army brats for the most part), but it's pretty cheap to live there and there's nice areas of town.
If I had my choice to live in L.A., NYC, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Washington, DC, Atlanta, or Lawton I'd take Lawton. In a heartbeat.
From the last I heard, Lawton was closing down places like the Korean Lounge. Most of the strip clubs have been closed down or moved outside of the city limits. I think the Gold(en)sp? Dragon is still open though.
i consider myself an expert on military towns.....what makes a bad one good, is its proximity to another larger town
for instance - killeen (fort hood) - hour+ drive to austin, for a single soldier, thats gold
lawton - 90 minutes to OKC....eh
etc etc etc
and the road in Lawton with the hookers, strip clubs, pawn shops, etc.....FT SILL BLVD
Sheridan Road has its share as well
