What are Oklahoma “things”?
Hey folks! I have just moved to Norman for a temporary (~2 year) job. I’ve lived in a few places, and really like to dive all in to the local culture, and bring it with me through life. I’ve been listening to “the worst hard time” audiobook to learn about the recent history. I’m excited to get some new plains birds on my life list! Preference OKC/Norman area, but we’ll drive all over the state!
- Recreation: The park near our new place has a frisbee golf course, is that big here? Is there any good kayaking? What are some good places for birding? Where do you like to bring your dogs?
- “shopping”: What is your favorite antique store or auction house? Where do the college students abandon their old furniture? In my old university, we had a “free table” where we’d leave unwanted items for someone else to pick up (I’ve found a few things I don’t need as I’ve begun unpacking). Do you know of something like that?
- Dine and drink: what breweries are your favorite? Are there distilleries with specialties? Unique foods? What is your favorite coffee shop? What restaurants do I need to try? I already learned about Braum’s, which was a very fun wiki page!
- Gardening: What produce to you find grows best in this climate? What about flowers? What nurseries do you think are the best for native plants? How is the foraging? What should I be looking for?
What else am I missing?? Tell me anything! Everything! Help me find my new obsession!!
Positivity only please :) every place has its pros and cons, and I am only here for the PROS!
