Unboxing Oklahoma: What It's Like Living in Oklahoma

Where do you live, Mr. Nick Johnson? In OK? You give a lot of recommendations with no evidence to back them up. Hope your real estate business is booming because your You Tube video productions stuck. You will pass off all Okies with your sour attitude about the quality of life in OK. You need an Attitude adjustment, man!! Are you crazy?

Just came back from an 8-day visit to Oklahoma, and it wasn't what I expected. Much greener and hilly than I thought. People were very polite and I got none of the antagonism when I chose to wear a mask that I thought I'd get (I obviously look at social-media too much). Overall, it impressed me. Tulsa, particularly, is very nice - with its outdoor attractions, bike/pedestrian paths, and arts district, it reminded me of some of our Pacific Northwest cities like Portland and Eugene. Thanks for making me feel welcome, Oklahoma!

[@lisamarie5536]

Oklahoma isn’t as bad as media makes it. I feel like you have good and bad everywhere. I recently had a Michigander tell me they were surprised people said have a blessed day after daily interactions. That southern charm will leave you feeling at home. ☺️

[@john25589]

Tulsa actually has one of the worst crime rates per capita in the country! I grew up there and didn't realize how dangerous it was until I moved away..we were subject to a lot of thefts, property damage, etc..but it seemed pretty normal at the time! I've heard Tulsa is on the up-and-up and it has changed a lot in the past few years. I have family who is moving back after 11 years overseas, and it seems a lot different now.

Thank you for highlighting the state's diversity of landscapes - that diversity would be downright shocking to many people, even to many Oklahomans, especially those who hang out almost exclusively in the OKC area. And the state's people are great. This is all making me homesick.

I have lived in Oklahoma most of my 44 years and your video is mostly accurate. The meth problem isn't as bad as it was 10 years ago and I have never heard anyone say YEE YEE. The OU/OSU thing is true. Broken Bow area is really improving if you are an outdoorsman you can rent a really nice cabin down there some of them are big enough to sleep over 10 people and you can enjoy some fly fishing and go hiking or look for a Bigfoot. Lawton and Midwest City are definitely places to stay away from. In the last year I have been all over Southeast Oklahoma fishing around and the decline of the small towns is sad. A lot of them are so run down and I have noticed a lot of burned down houses in almost every small town I drove through. On the plus side the metro areas, OKC and Tulsa, just seem to be getting bigger and getting new businesses there are a lot of new houses being built. One thing about Oklahomans is that almost everyone here knows more about tornadoes and thunderstorm than most people, we even know all the meteorological terms and what they mean. We are well informed on severe weather. Check out the National Weather Museum in Norman.

To the outside world, Texas and Oklahoma may seem to be the same, but if you live here, it’s kind of like two crosstown warring high schools: bitter rivals in sports, although both are excellent.

[@PAULY-P]

@@rylencason4420 Actually Kansas and Florida has the most lightning density. Texas and Kansas has the most lightning strikes from cloud to ground. Florida has the most frequency of lightening and has the most deaths per yr than any other state do to the atlantic breeze moving over solar heated land. This lifts the moist air masses that host thunderstorms. Therefore Florida has the most lightning and more deaths due to a thin state as where Texas has bigger land and less people per capita allowing for less deaths from lightning. Little Florida has more frequency than big TX. LA would be a close 2nd for deaths. FL actually has from Cape Canaveral to Tampa which is known as Lightning Alley.

As a Texan, I've often been to or through Oklahoma. I like Texas' neighbor to the north and east (if you are in the Texas panhandle). The Okies are good people overall. The only time when I don't like Oklahoma is when the Texas Longhorns play the Oklahoma Sooners! 😉

[@hines57a52]

From what I've read myself like many other Oklahomans are proud of our state. We also run a very well-oiled machine within our state government. We have a surplus budget that did not come from relief funds. And as someone who's traveled across the United States in both directions as well as North and South it's hard to find a nicer group of people

The problem, in my view, isn't the number of people who deliberately throw litter out their windows driving down the highway. It's the number of idiots who throw litter in the bed of their pickups, and EXPECT IT TO STAY THERE. Pickups are a trash distribution system.
