I attended a wedding in Norman last night. The reception was held at the Depot. Really a neat DT with lots of restored old buildings. I was very impressed seeing that part of Norman for the first time I can recall. It was a larger older DT area than I expected to see and all the buildings I saw where well restored. Way to go Norman

For decades downtown Norman could never get enough traction to be a truly happenin' place. Finally in the last decade they started getting it going and now it rivals campus corner as a "go to" place in Norman. Glad somebody noticed.

Happy to help. Actually I just got back from Elk City an hour ago. Glad they liked it out west OK. It's kind of tough if you are from a greener part of the state.

They really did like the people of Elk City and bought a neat home there as well as a duplex which they will keep. They sold their home in Elk City fast and have the duplex up for sale too. We have had a NM mountain cabin for 53 years so being in the high plains was new day to day for them, it put them closer to the NM mountain place. He loved his job at the hospital in Elk City but have a great lake side place near the medical complex in Durant and they kept it to go back to and to be near their kids still living in the DFW/ Durant area. So it was a good time even if short in Elk city but the offer to get him back to Durant was too good to pass up.

How would Norman, OK be for retirement? I’m still at least 20 years out, but I do think about areas to live that are both interesting and somewhat inexpensive.

Norman is fine unless you want something really scenic and you don't mind the crazy weather here at times (like recently), but Norman has the benefit of still maintaining a college town feel yet still is part of a metro closing in on 1.5 million. DFW is less than 3 hours. For scenery and tourism there are some places around Oklahoma. Particularly eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas. We are 8-9 hours to the rockies for skiing and cooling off. Other cities, Austin, Houston and KC are all less than six hours, STL, Memphis are 7-8.
