With so many small towns in OK now just a bombed out shell of their former selves (the aforementioned Ponca City being one of them) it was refreshing to see Enid a year and some change ago. Its surprising considering they have no interstate or turnpike access, which is supposed to be the death knell for a lot of towns. I spent a good week or so at the Garfield County courthouse and walked around the downtown area during my free time. I remember it being very vibrant with lots of white and blue collar types walking around. Probably the best downtown in OK outside of OKC and Tulsa.

On a side note, I learned very quickly that there is A LOT of money in Enid. I hope the slowdown in oil drilling doesn't hurt them too bad.
