Severe weather is a big part of our identity and culture. We have the NWS and the best school of meteorology. Two Twister movies have been filmed and set here. When I lived in California there...

OKC has always been a place that has relied on really good men's stores rather than department stores.
Mr. Ooleys and Steven Giles along with Alton's in Edmond are darn good. Rye 51 has a...
It has to be said that Dillard's -- and especially the two large stores at Penn Square -- is darn good. Von Maur, too.

Jon Dodson is the only one that remains and he's brought in a bunch of new...
Taco Casa is proposed for the parcel north of where Five Guys and Starbucks will be located.
To the south (on the hard corner), another little strip center is planned.
Per the Oklahoman, this project is on indefinite hold.
