OkieCowgirl is on a distinguished road
Midwest City is great. The community pool and YMCA would be where you would go swimming. Boys and Girls Club and daycare in homes plus many daycare centers, day schools to chose from. Just being in Oklahoma is enough to make me happy

Norman is a great city. I think Norman is the best city in all of Oklahoma. Sure Oklahoma city has more to do primarily because of its size. But Norman is a much more diverse and active place.

1) Norman has tons of great parks, and there are always plenty of things going on in the parks. The medieval fair comes to Norman. There's also art shows, and bands playing in the park. The night life in Norman I think is much more progressive than in the city. The city is mostly clubs with DJ's spinning popular music. Norman has a lot more live music.

2) Most of the area around OU is older, very beautiful houses, and I believe Norman has more trees and landscaping than any other area of the city.

3) I would say Norman has a better mass transit system than Oklahoma city. It also has tons of bike lanes and sidewalks. You see tons of people walking and biking around the OU area and the older/downtown areas. It used to bother me driving through the older area of Norman at 25-30 MPH. It felt like it took forever to get anywhere. But now I can appreciate that the people don't want people driving 60 mph on a 6-lane highway near their neighborhoods. It would kill the walkability and livability of the area.

4) Thunderbird lake is very close, and unlike other lakes in the OKC area, you can actually swim in lake thunderbird. It is also much larger than all the other lakes in the area.

5) Norman is a fairly progressive/liberal area(at least for Oklahoma standards). The other suburbs of OKC are just strip malls and chain restaurants/stores. With their sprawl, people rarely walk anywhere. They are just culture-less dwellings, where people are only interested in material possessions.

Norman just feels very safe and comfortable, but at the same time very lively. I'm not aware of a Tornado ever hitting Norman either. My mother claims Norman can't get hit, but I don't know if thats true or not.
