I am moving from PA to Okmulgee. Please tell me everything you can.

I have never been there and know nothing about it.

What does a gallon of milk cost?

Heating oil?

Other basic costs?

Do stores like Target & Walmart exist?

Good school districts? I am a teacher and will need a teaching job.

My husband's job is in Okmulgee, but do we want to live in Okmulgee? Or is there a better town near by?

How much snow do you get?

What else do I need to know?

Some answers:

It's been a stagnant town for a long time but a new waste recycling plant coming in should help things out. One could do worse for a town in Oklahoma.

We use natural gas rather than heating oil in Oklahoma.

It seldom snows and when it does, it may be only several inches. A worse nuisance are ice storms, but they don't happen every year.

No doubt, there's a Wal-Mart, but no Target. Tulsa isn't very far from Okmulgee, and there will be much, much more shopping and other attractions to be found there.

All the schools in the area are decent. My kids are long gone so I don't know details.
