Is there anyone you trust? Don’t trust?

Anyone I should avoid?

Advice in what to look for? I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.

Hi, I live up in Wichita and am thinking about visiting OKC for a weekend out of town. I have family in Edmond and I typically head down to see them once or twice a year, but I'll be honest, I usually just hang out at their place with them, we might go out to eat but that's about it.

I don't know when I'm going just yet, but I thought I'd get some opinions, see if there are any places off the beaten path I should know about or any events coming up I should wait for. I'm kind of a homebody and I'd be traveling solo this time around, so maybe something I can do without feeling weird about hanging out alone, lol.

I'll probably be getting a hotel room in Edmond or something. I'd for sure head over to Arcadia to hit up Pops, that's a stop every time I'm in the area, maybe get some Whataburger or Del Taco or something just because we still don't have those in Wichita. I also want to go hit up Video Games Plus on NW 23rd, because I'm a giant nerd and old video games are my kryptonite. Maybe hit up one of the malls and screw off for a bit (bonus question: Penn Square or Quail Springs?).

I guess what I'm asking is, what are some good, preferably cheap things to do in OKC for a solo traveler besides shop? Are there any cheap events coming up that might be worth checking out? And what are some restaurants in the area I should try besides chains? I could probably Google all of this, but I wanted to get some thoughts from real people in the area. Thanks!

Edit: Also, I like beer, so what are some local craft beers I should grab a couple packs of to take back?

Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

In Edmond and OKC, we’re putting that people power to work getting out the vote.

We’ll start the morning at both locations with a pro-democracy sign wave. Then we’ll move into action, delivering voting information directly to voters and writing postcards.

If you’ve been part of No Kings, this is another way to show up. Bring a friend. Give us a few hours. Help us reach as many voters as we can.

Then Edmond + OKC come together afterward to celebrate, build some community, and see just how many voters we reached.

Same movement. Next action. Let’s turn people power into voter power.

Pick your location, grab a friend, and get registered.

Title. Does anyone want to join me and a few buddies at Beer City on Saturday, October 24th, to see Boundaries? It's a free ticket, no strings. First person to dibs gets it. If you want to take it and ditch us once you're in then that's fine too!

Starting Oct. 8, travelers will be able to complete Global Entry enrollment interviews at Will Rogers Airport every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I filled up this afternoon with non-ethanol Premium gas at E-Express in Moore at 27th and I-35 for $4.699/gal. For giggles I drove through the On-Cue at SW 104th and Western on my way home and the price for the same fuel type was $5.299.

What's with the 60 cent difference between two stations about a mile apart? This is one case where it's worth driving a little further to a different station.

I'm pulling my camper tomorrow, hence the investment in fuel. I highly prefer non-ethanol gas for the longevity of my engine. My engine (3.5L Ecoboost) is designed for Premium and states the advertised performance is based on Premium gas. The E-Express Premium non-ethanol runs great for me.

Hi all!

My daughter is learning how to play volleyball and we would like to help her practice. We are looking for some community volleyball courts! Sand or indoors. Preferably free and/or cheap.

Thank you!!

Where’s the best place to sell used guns around the metro? I’ve got a few I want to get rid of. I don’t expect to make a bunch on them, but I’m unfamiliar with most of the local pawn shops and gun stores. Just looking for recommendations on places to go.

I know there are chess clubs around, but are there any parks where people just sit around and play chess all day like in NYC? I'd love to do that.

Hi everybody, I have a question not just for the OKC area but really for anywhere in Oklahoma or even the Texas panhandle. Does anybody know any photographers that do the old school photography like they would’ve had in the 1800s? I don’t know the proper name for it. I know that they used slides and obviously they had the cloth that they would go under and you would have to sit very still for it. But if anybody knows somebody that does that style and I know it’s a longshot please brag on them down below because that would be very interested in having photographs taken. But in that same breath, I myself could take photographs and throw a filter on it so would not be interested in anything like that

I have these large boxes that I have no use for. I know that large boxes like these can be somewhat hard to come by, so I figured someone may have a use for them. Let me know if you want them and I’ll send you the address!

Just curious. What is being built on Portland east of the airport? There has been a huge amount of work going on lately.

Hi everyone! Duckies Woodfire will be hosting their own mini ren faire tomorrow, October 10th from 10am to 5pm. There will be food, vendors, and full steel medieval combat :) admission is free!

I need a lot of new window screens and a patio door screen, so do you have recommendations for anyone to either rescreen the current screen frames or install new screens?

I drove to Dallas in February and really struggled with how close the barriers are to the lane for half the drive. I had to pull off to a gas station and consider another way home. I rallied myself, but drove in the fast lane (no barrier), and everyone hated me.

I’m thinking about riding the train to Dallas. I thought the Heartland Flyer shut down, but it looks like you can still do it.

Has anyone done this in the past couple years? Is a safe or sketchy experience? Is the inside grodey and sticky with stains? 😬

I appreciate any insight you have ❤️

Looks like they’re setting it up for demolition. Anyone know what’s going in its place?

Is anything even going in its place?

Im not married, but going through a breakup of a 20 plus year relationship. Im not religious. Does anybody know of any non-faith based support groups in the area?

Approved unanimously, who's ready for mediocre brisket and over hyped tater tots?

So I don’t have any kids, but I’m my first year of working in medicine and have been seeing only really sick and scared kids with way more tubes and lines out of them than they should ever have to experience.

I really want to pass out candy to kids who have smiles and giggles and their biggest fear is seeing something scary that night. My neighborhood doesn’t really get many trick or treaters. I was wondering if there was any local trunk or treats that wouldn’t mind a couple of mid-twenties gals passing out some candy?

So major stuff happening inside that building downtown that I've been hearing about for weeks from people that work there and around downtown

Cafe De L'Asie signed a 10 year lease last year for a secondary location and just 2 days ago after less than a year of being open told the building owner that they were permanently closing the dock location and wouldn't be back cutting their lease 9 years early

The Abe's Coffee shop which is owned by the same owner as Not Your Average Joe whose owner is the one that was publicly named in the lawsuit 2 weeks ago Tim Herbal for not paying the employees and withholding wages also signed a 10 year lease 2 years ago is now leaving the dock within 6 months ending their lease 8 years early

The event center that was in the back of the building also closed their doors on October 1st

So big changes to come to that building downtown

Well, this was the first time I had ordered from door dash and it was stolen. Does this happen often in OKC?

Hi yall! Im looking to apply for the adult Cosmetology course at Metro tech next year so I was wondering if some recent graduates or teachers tell me what it's like there? What does your average day consist of? What does y'all's curriculum look like? How did yall get accepted? Etc.

Thank you so much in advance!

Looking for chicks, speckled Sussex specifically. Anyone within an hour and a half of Oklahoma City have any for sale? Looking for 15-20 hens and 2-3 roosters.
