I thought I would tell you some good things about Oklahoma
City. It has been voted the most affordable city in the
United States. Housing costs are very reasonable and
our unemployment rate is only 6.3 percent which is well below
the national average.
People are friendly. We lack public transportation just as
many cities do and a car is a necessity. This is not a
good thing but hopefully it will be solved sometime soon.
The old warehouse section of the city has been converted
into convention centers and a ball park. There are a lot
of new hotels and a lot of loft space has become available
for people who want down town living. The South Canadian river has been renamed the Oklahoma River and there are
a lot of water activities in conjunction with it.
The old and partially deserted section called Double Deuce
is in the planning stage for apartments and hotels.
We rarely leave our suburb for downtown but just knowing
that we have access to it's amenities is helpful. There
are lots of good places to eat and the cultural opportunities abound.
Jerms and Red Impala could tell you more. It is an excellent place to retire.
