Ponca City area

I grew up in Ponca City, Oklahoma. In February 2007, I moved to Florida which was the biggest mistake of my life. Now, It's september 2008 and I'm getting ready to go back to Ponca City, Oklahoma. My home. Ponca City doesn't have a mall or dillards or lots of great places to hang out, but the people are very nice and the few places to eat are great. My favorite restaurant is El Patio and I'm totally excited to eat there as soon as I get to town. There are great elementary schools and one very great high school. If you have kids into music, this is the best place in Oklahoma for them to go to school. Ponca City is a predomiately Christian town with a very close knit community. I have several friends that were homeschooled all through their school years and they wee all friends with each other. they have programs for homeschooled kids to have gym class together and field trips. There is a great dance and gym school right on the main street in town, Grand. It's called Kim's Gym (i think as long as that hasn't changed since Christmas). There is also Fran's Dance on 7th street across from the high school that is very good. Both of those places have been around since before I was born (i'm 23).
I know you will love Ponca City and if you are looking for a good church, go to First Baptist Church. It's on 5th Street and has daycare durring the week, sunday school, kids camp durring a week of the summer, camp for the teens a few times a year and VBS for elementary school kids.
I'm bringing my 1 year old back to Ponca City where I wish she had been all along to be with our family and friends who are still there because Ponca City is a great place to live, worship, and raise your family.
You will love it.
