Calera, Oklahoma Is Trying To Shut Down His Trailer Park

I'm in Calera Oklahoma to speak to the manager of a trailer park by the name of Robert Smith. Who says that the city is trying to shut his park down.
if you're looking for a new home give him a call

A lot of people would’ve been pissed off for you to point that out. It was unnecessary ….. PLEASE be KINDER… he was so humble. We are all in this world for such a short time just be a kind person. It doesn’t cost you anything.

[@redtrinitygirl]

I think it's good to address what we all are thinking. he is a honest soul it seems and has nothing to hide.. if he did not want to do a interview he could of said no, he doesn't mind sharing his story, my dad cracked his molars in the middle, and I did as well... seems to be a genetic link to my molar tooth loss. it's not a big deal.. I worked for a lady almost 90 who only had baby teeth her whole life and she lost hers.. she got awards for housekeeping back in the day and throw big parties. was quite the social lite., teeth don;t s does not make a person.

He's very good with riding mowers, boats, older cars, repairing mobile homes, electrical, plumbing, welding, ECT. He built go carts and mini bikes for his kids. He has a very mechanical mind. He can build things out of what we would consider useless 😂 He only owns older vehicles that he can work on. He has a 1965 Mustang and a 1982 Ford F100 truck. I helped him put new engines in both of them. He also has a 1970 VW BUS that is in great shape. His mustang is very nice also. Red with black interior.😊

[@kerrydennison7947]

I remember in Newton county Georgia when they shut down the trailer park across from the elementary school on highway 81south, they use the prevalent drug usage and sales and a couple of deaths as a legal reason to shut it down. Now it is part of a subdivision.

[@shadowwolf9503]

Looks like a laid back place to live. I bet the fishing is good too. I love to fish and id eat them. Only negative i see is that id be concerned about living in a trailer or camper in Oklahoma because of the tornado threat. Years ago, when i was 18, i spent 3 months at Ft Sill by Lawton,OK - doing my Army basic training and AIT. I woke up one night to the worst thunder storm ive ever been in. A tornado went right down the airport runway- about a mile from my barracks.

The only difference is that they are used as overflows from the homes septic tank. There’s a difference, this is straight run off.

[@beatcat1265]

Yep it's pretty normal where I am north Louisiana. Trailer parks usually have them. I'm in a house we have septic. Concept is pretty similar really except our septic is covered then the overflow pipe goes way way back in the woods. No smell unless it's gotten clogged then you gotta run hose through it and all good

Believe it or not there are millions of homes with septic systems that dump into the ground. I think they are called leech fields. And drain fields. They also use well water..

I've lived in 3 RVs and I've lived in one RV park and one trailer park. Although those "lagoons" are technically called cesspools. They are a huge thing of the past and present.

I used to work in the O.R. with an Oral Surgeon, where we performed multiple full mouth extractions on patients from all walks of life. Unfortunately, I have assisted in surgeries on people as young as 18.😢 I always felt so bad for my patients, because nothing could ever prepare them for what life would be like with absolutely NO teeth. Even if they had dentures made, and had them in place when they woke up after surgery, it's a very long learning curve to be able to function and eat normally again. The younger the patient was, the more involved the extractions were, as their jaw bones were very dense and strong. We normally had to drill away and remove a lot of the bone holding the teeth in place. Take my advice, please try to maintain and keep your teeth for as long as you possibly can!! Eating with no teeth, or using dentures is extremely difficult, and you probably won't enjoy eating your food the same as you did with your real teeth. Just a word of advice...
