My MIL is having her birthday this Friday. She wants to eat at “the best pizza” in OKC. If you could only eat at one pizza place for the rest of your life in OKC what would it be????

To consolidate all posts on yesterday's city council vote to renew the Flock contract, we will be instituting this megathread for all further discussions. Mayor Holt is on reddit u/MayorDavidHolt if you wish to tag him.

I’m talking like 20 cars parked up and down 13th and I’ve seen multiple undercover drive by. Anyone know anything?

Also sorry I don’t know how to flair I hope I picked the right one

Good reporting by Tyler Smothers with Oklahoma City Free Press with a very full account of the actions of the Council on Tuesday. He also gives some key points of background. The vote was close and the decision includes a series of prohibitions against the misuse of the system.

Just wanted to update everyone that we will not be having our August Reddit Meet this month. Due to scheduling conflicts, logistical issues, the heat, and some family matters, we have been unable to solidify arrangements.

With that being said, we will have two opportunities to meet up in September. We'd love for as many of you as possible to join us at the free fishing event on September 12th that is being put on by the ODWC, which I have linked below. Feel free to reach out to u/cowboy_duck for any information that you may need. We will also have our regularly scheduled Reddit Meet later in September. This, hopefully, will also get us out of this extreme heat that we have been having lately.

Thanks again, everyone! We will see you all soon and stay cool!!

My roommate and I signed a lease and received the keys to an apartment in Oklahoma City today. We relocated from out of state for school and discovered multiple serious problems basically as soon as we moved in.

There was no running water at all. Water is landlord-provided under our lease. We immediately called maintenance and were told that they had not been notified/instructed to turn the water on before our move-in. They were unable to get it resolved tonight.

We also discovered:

• The A/C wasn’t cooling and the temperature inside reached over 110°F.
• When we turned the A/C on, a very strong and unpleasant smell started circulating throughout the apartment.
• The kitchen sink is completely clogged and won’t drain at all.
• We found roaches underneath the stove.
• Multiple electrical outlets appear to be malfunctioning/overheating when we plug phone chargers into them.

The heat became so bad that we started feeling physically sick and ultimately had to leave and get a hotel for the night.

We took photos/videos of everything and sent management written notice the same day we received possession.

The lease also has provisions potentially charging tenants for the first $50 of certain maintenance/service calls and making tenants responsible for certain plumbing issues. It also says the landlord handles pest infestations reported within the first 30 days, which is why we documented the roaches immediately on day one.

We’re not trying to just abandon the lease. Our concern is that this was the condition of the apartment when it was handed over to us on the very first day.

We relocated a long distance for school, classes start very soon, and this has already been extremely stressful. We don’t really have the time to spend the beginning of school dealing with major water, A/C, electrical, plumbing, odor, and pest problems in a place we just moved into.

We have asked management about an appropriate resolution, including a mutual release from the lease without penalty, because at this point we don’t feel comfortable proceeding with the tenancy.

For anyone familiar with Oklahoma landlord-tenant law or who has dealt with something similar: how would you handle this? Do these day-one conditions give us reasonable grounds to push for a penalty-free release? And if management says they’ll repair everything tomorrow, how does that affect our options given that the apartment was delivered to us in this condition?

Is it just me? I feel like these last few days haven't just been unbearably hot, it's also seemed blindingly bright. Is this happening to everyone or do I need to schedule an appointment with a professional?

With the Flock approval being passed and also the addition of a secondary monitoring cameras mounted on the light poles from Axon that has been installed, it shows our lawmakers priorities. recall David Holt and if that doesn't stop it then start recalling every body underneath Holt until someone actually does the right thing.

I just recently moved to OKC and am looking for a psychiatrist for my husband to address his ADHD. He gave me permission to find him someone to help him. This would be his first ever appt. and I want to make sure I get him with someone who is caring, intentional and doesn't necessarily just prescribe pills. Anyone in the OKC/surronding areas is great.

Thank you!!

Any recommendations for a lawnmower shop that does sharpening for Reel lawnmower mowers? My guy retired and have been unable to find anyone reliable. Edmond to Norman, I'm willing to drive to find someone with the right equipment and skills.
