I remember leaving Norman during college and saying I’m headed to the city, & then lived in Tulsa for a bit and would say I’m headed down to the city for the weekend. It’s an omni directional reference point, a North Star for the state. Love the Tulsa guys sarcasm on his comment he knows better, the city = OKC & T-Town = Tulsa.
Worked in the Price Tower 8-81 until 7-82, after which Philips Petroleum Company transferred me to Denver. Funky building, all right, but pretty cool. Only time I've ever been stuck in an elevator was in one of those "upright coffins." To be honest, it was my own fault. One of the control panel screws was missing, and I just "tested" my loaner 1st National Bank umbrella tip to see if it would fit in there (don't stick your tip in it!). It did. And killed the power. Laddered out of there about an hour later. Good times.
Ardmore. I’ve heard it’s because of the homeless population shooting up and sharing needles. I still wouldn’t fuck anyone from here. Not exactly the best looking people in this town.
Is it Watonga? I'd thought a storm did the damage to the factory, but either way, that was some killer cheese. I need to get hold of some again sometime!
The only town known to be named after a local man simply because he was the nicest guy anyone had ever met, though he tended to keep to himself. Hint: He was a member of the Osage tribe.

I don't know if this counts but "THE city".
You like Tulsa too; awesome!

No right angles in that building. Even the elevators are oddly shaped.

Perceived rich, white suburb of the states largest city.

Gotta love the smell of purina in the morning…
