Default I am so glad I came across this site...

I have lived in OKC for nearly ten years. I am a huge fan of urban development and everything that is going on anywhere. I graduated from OCU with a degree in Marketing but was this close (fingers about an inch apart) to going to OSU for Engineering.

I got married about a year ago and my wife constantly jokes about how much I know about the homes and businesses going in downtown.

In order to make fun of me when we are out with friends, she will quiz me, "Gary, what is the name of the development going on off of I-235?" "Which one? Block 42? The Hill? The Brownstones?" Her response in usually "See, I told you he was a huge nerd."

Now I have found people that share in my nerdiness when it comes to what is going on in OKC world

PS-that was meant as a compliment.

Don't worry, you are among kindred spirits here.

Even though I haven't lived in OK for over 18 years, my friends in Oklahoma City still ask me about things going on there. And inevitably, they tease me about following it so closely.


So, welcome! We are here to expand and celebrate OKC-nerdiness!
