Anyone know of a store in OKC that might sell an Oklahoma scented candle? Looking for a gift for a homesick friend by today ❤ Any other similar ideas welcome!

My kid decided he wants a giant sub sandwich for his birthday dinner. I’m trying to figure out the logistics of the bread.

Does anyone know where I could procure a really long loaf of French bread? OR If you were 7 years old, do you feel like you would notice if your mom just put 3 regular loaves of French bread together??

Thank you for your help with this super random request 😂

If you had to go to Tulsa tomorrow, where would you eat? I trust the people in this sub more than the people in the Tulsa sub.

I'm wondering if anyone has personal experience with both OG&E and Edmond Electric within the last few years.

I've only lived in Oklahoma for a year, currently in OKC with OG&E and love the low rates compared to where I used to live.

I'm heavily considering moving to Edmond, and the complex I'm looking at uses Edmond Electric.

I've only heard in passing when I first started going out to Edmond that Edmond Electric has extremely high rates and "is a mess".

The past year for a one bedroom apartment (roughly 700sq ft), my summer bills have averaged $50/mo and winter bills around $100-$150 at the highest.

Does anyone have experiences with Edmond Electric they can share for apartment living, both good and bad?

I work in healthcare here and recently patients in psychosis have tried to hurt me or my work partner, feeling very unprepared. Looking for self-defense classes, resources, or guidance in the area. Thanks, all.

Hey, I got a job at the Oklahoma County Courthouse but unfortunately I have to cover my own parking. What’s the closest free parking to the courthouse? I don’t mind walking a bit.

Ill need to do a few transfers and dial in a 5.7, (kel tec, love it), and I am more than willing to do business with people who don't share my beliefs. But I feel caught between supporting big box stores or local gun shops that think fellow citizens are subhuman. Ive tried the range in Stillwater and they seem like good people, but I would be hesitant to freely recommend it to kin folk as a place to comfortably shop or shoot, based off my experience. That said if you're willing to cultural ambassador a bit, it can be perfectly serviceable. Planning on trying out Wilshire, H&H, and Big Boys over the next couple of weeks. OKC gun club doesn't work as they have a mandatory NRA membership requirement, and that's a hard pass from me.

Alternatively I can just do my x-fers through a big box, get my hunting license, use state parks for shooting, and ship my guns out for repair, but I would really find a local shop that I would be willing to pay a little more to have decent service and experienced advice while not be treated like a criminal or threat by someone who hasn't turned off fox news in ten+ years. I know how to get over a a bad first impression and build rapport, Its my daily life. But any recommendations of good shops or people that deserve support?

***(EDIT)*** Thank you all for the responses! I am far more relaxed and excited for Wilshire and BB. New to the area but Ive lived in east Oklahoma and I appreciate the help.

If you're wondering why there's still loads of booms at 10/11pm on a Sunday before a workday, that's why. Some events suspended due to weather and shifted it to tonight.

My opinions are fiery and I'll keep them to myself. But I work at 5am, lucky for me this is technically my 'friday' so Im only sleep deprived but Im not going to miss work if I stay up a bit later and sleep in.

But damn am I tired.

If there's smaller fireworks going off within city limits, contact the non emergency line. Especially late into the night. Sound ordinance is also in effect at 11pm.

Happy fifth of July, I suppose. Im so tired.

The amount of fireworks going off in our neighborhood for the last week has been insane! Like yes I get it 250 woohoo but my god in a neighborhood there needs to be a limit its been all week long from 7 to 11 at night just bang bang bang. I have a 2 year old and a dog that freaks out by loud noises. I'm just so tired of it. I want to have quiet at night not constant explosions. This is a vent. I didn't think it'd be so damn constant. I don't want to tell them to stop because I get it but my lord I just wish people were more considerate of others. Its just too much. Thank you for your time in reading this ill shut up now.

Kind of crazy in hindsight, considering how many of us are Native. Like I have such positive memories but it's actually a pretty dark part of our history. I also always thought it was weird how we have the "Sooners" who were literally just cheaters.

I am making a timeline of every day of the year and I am struggling to find stuff I was wondering if there was someone who had some facts for me.

Hi everyone, I have a senior cat and my vet said he could use a dental cleaning. I later realized that dental work for a cat is like $800-$1000 for just a basic cleaning 😭 any recommendations for a vet that does affordable dental work? I can do $800 but less would be preferred of course. I’m willing to travel really anywhere even if it’s just outside the city

21M. I have just moved here recently and have been rotting in my apartment. Are there any particularly enjoyable events that can get me outside that I could also do alone. I am fan of reading, gaming, and photography by also considering volunteering or joining some sort of sports/fitness class but open to other ideas.

what is the best place to go? I'm aware of Skinny Slims and all the regular sports bars but is there any outdoor watch parties or anything like that I'm not aware of?

Visiting family in town next weekend and I was wondering if there were any places selling deadstock fabrics in and around OKC. Thank you!

Anyone know if it’s closing or just undergoing renovations? I don’t see anything on their social media saying one way or another. Door is locked and everything inside seems to be gone.
