The Cowboy Hall and WEstern Heritage Museum is a must see as well as the Oklahoma City National Memorial is quite moving

Yes, it will be tornado season in May......

Yes, it is tornado season, but no, you do not have to worry about twisters. You will be sufficiently warned and told what to do in case one does come by. But honestly, nobody in OKC alters their lives because of our place in ';Tornado Alley';.

That said, you%26#39;ll enjoy Oklahoma City, a real American city. It%26#39;s changed from what you may have seen in London%26#39;s West End. The best place to spend time in is Bricktown, where you%26#39;ll find restaurants of different cuisines, plus our specialty, steak (I prefer Mickey Mantle%26#39;s Steakhouse). There you can also catch a baseball game, soak in the Oklahoma sky, watch a movie, buy outdoor goods, and go from club to club looking for dance partners or live music. If you want, a great pub is Tapwerks.

For a unique experience, jhallam, go to Stockyards City Monday or Tuesday morning and watch a cattle auction. Afterward, have lunch at Cattlemen%26#39;s Steakhouse and buy a cowboy hat at Tener%26#39;s. Later, you can go to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum to sample western art and see the cowboys (and indians) of the past.

E-mail me at contempone@yahoo.com if you need any more help...

Spiderturd needs to put his free time to better use. Any open-minded person will tell you Oklahomans are some of the most genuinely friendly people you%26#39;ll ever find.

It%26#39;s ridiculous to generalize an entire population into friendly or unfriendly!

All I can say is that on my numerous visits to Oklahoma, people have been wonderfully friendly and hospitable to me. I noticed that there is a bit of fear of the unknown or different. I wonder if that might be because it%26#39;s a landlocked state, without a major port to provide a link to the outside world.

Yes, it%26#39;s in the Bible Belt, but not all people belong to closed-minded fundamentalist evangelical churches.

OKC is a tough place to get around without a car. Most everybody drives. But Bricktown is a walking place, and that%26#39;s what makes it cool. People FINALLY get out of their cars and rub elbows.

Since you%26#39;re coming from England, you should try to find a real locals bar (pub). See if a cowboy will buy you a pint! But be warned, it%26#39;ll probably be a mass-produced American lager -- yuck!

Spider';turd'; go back to Rhode Island... it%26#39;s people like you who give a place like Oklahoma a bad name... narrowminded longwinded idiot%26#39;s with nothing better to do with their time than to run other people in the ground; because you are to lazy or stupid yourself to get your narrow minded butt out from behind a computer screen and go out and live in the real world. Take my advice if you don%26#39;t have anything nice to say keep your mouth closed you only make your self look like the fool you obviously are. You '; YANKEE%26#39;S'; think you have us '; REDNECK HILLBILLY%26#39;S'; all figured out. I have news for you; YOU DON%26#39;T!! Quit spouting drivel and and get a life.

Spiderturd: He cannot possibly be following you around because he posted in there before you.

Buy honestly, I generally try to avoid taking advice from someone named ';spiderturd.';

Have a good day.

spiderturd is incorrect. Oklahoma is not the only state that sells 3.2 beer in gorcery stores and gas stations. So does Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Minnesota. Get your facts straight, spiderturd.
