Heh heh. I would be trying to get rid of all that white stuff as well. I'd love some snow right now, but days and days of it and shoving, shoveling would get tiresome. It's 70 degrees right now at almost 4 pm in DFW. I like these temps; it is comfortable but it makes me worry what the summer is going to be like if the entire Winter is like this. Here I am talking about Winter and it's really not even Winter for almost three weeks!

So...
What do we all think about Blanchard, El Reno or Shawnee? I'm told they seem pretty do-able. Any comments... Please? TIA, M. |

I only know Shawnee. Isn't El Reno a suburb of OkC?

I looked on Google Maps. El Reno is definitely closer to OkC than Shawnee, which may fit your bill, but I don't know anything about the city. Anything on the West Side of OkC is like a foreign land to me, meaning I don't know a lick about it.

Only driven by El Reno. Easy access to the city with I-40. You can get to downtown OKC is 25 minutes with no traffic. Growing a little bit, some new construction. That's about all I know. Oh, and it tends to be the coldest place in the metro in the winter. In other words, sometimes 10 degrees colder at night.

Shawnee is a bustling place. My dad lived there for about 10 years and I still go through there a lot on our way back and forth to OKC. Lots of businesses, new and old. Some areas of town are older, but newer construction for OKC commuters.

I have some family in El Reno and it is a nice little town. It is pretty quick on I-40 to get to OKC.
