Go to Edmond if you have to relocate.

My son will be going first to the Francis Tuttle Voc Tech school for carpentry, and then the community college for some film classes (want him to be able to earn a living while he's living his dream ).

We're all set to move at the end of this month. Thanks again for your suggestions.

I move to Mustang TOMORROW! Glad to see you made a good choice, as I did~!
Yes, OCCC for their film/media studies is a good choice. Francis Tuttle has a good carpentry program, as does Metro Tech. I have to say that because I'm friends with both the instructors over there.

Well, you'll beat us there. DH flies in 2/26 because he starts his new job the 27th. The kids, myself and the dog fly in 3/2. I expect a "formal" welcome when we arrive in Mustang

I have yet another Where's The Best Place to Live in OKC question. My husband is likely to be relocating from Florida to OKC, but my daughter and I won't be coming along since it's likely to last only a year or two. So we're looking to rent, not purchase, and probably rent an apartment rather than a house, but we'll want something with at least 2 bedrooms for when our daughter and I come to visit. My husband is working at the OU medical center and I doubt he'd be interested in a very long commute. He likes a neighborhood with diversity, eating out, and music. I like a neighborhood with unusual shopping and dining, music and character. Our daughter, who's 12, looks for movies, books and cool clothes. We all want to find a place where my daughter and I won't be scared. We're a tri-racial family so we'd appreciate living where people won't look at us as if we're aliens. So . . . what's the perfect neighborhood for us?

There are many great neighborhoods. You might try the Paseo area. It has a lot of art galleries w/ unique shops and restaurants. Also Deep Deuce is developing into a nice little neighborhood with the Sage Market, Wedge Pizzeria, and Deep Deuce Grill.
