Welcome to the zoo!

I guess this is the right place - Pete let me change my screen name. It was East Coast Okie but since we are coming back home, I wanted to change it. Now, it is Pennyquilts. I quilt. Get it? Yuk yuk. I'm a riot. My blog is also Pennyquilts and now I won't have to remember another screen name. At my age, that could be futile.

Thanks for posting your new screen name here. I probably would never have figured it out and wondered where ECO went. I read your blog as well. The trip to the animal shelter made me weepy.

Perry Glaze - lived in OKC from 82-91. Lived in Lakewood (I believe) subdivision near NW 63rd and Meridian. Went to Rollingwood Elementary.

Greetings! I was born, raised, and spent most of my life in Central Oklahoma before moving to Kansas City in 2002.

I hope to be moving back in four or five years.

I just changed my handle from East Coast Okie to PennyQuilts now that we are moving home. I can see why you chose your screen name and I think I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there, you'll get home!

Hi, my name is Emily. I got married last December, and 9 weeks ago gave birth to a beautiful (honeymoon) baby girl! What happens in Vegas....does not always stay in Vegas lol. My husband and I started a website design and marketing business to let me be able to work from home once she was born. He also works outside the home. I am interested in website design/marketing, piano, and anything baby and parenting.

Hey!!

I'm an avid hunter with a soft spot for dogs and all things hand made (mostly furniture). I try to advocate for a lot of the things that make cities great, like transportation, skyscrapers, and sports! I'm so excited about the projects outlined in MAPS3 and what they will do for our fine city. Can't wait to start participating in all the discussion OKCTALK has to offer.

Well, not really. My friends and family used to call me Fishstick when I was younger. Now my son calls me it now.

Thanks for the welcome LordGerald!

It just dawned on me that today is my one year b-day on OKCTALK. Now I know that my being here hasn't made history or anything but, I sure had fun. Thanks to all.

It's 2010 on the east coast! Happy New Year and best wishes for you all.

Alright you mushville hillbillies its a new day..get it on ..Ok?

Hello all. My name is Bret. My family and I live in Yukon. Im 30 and grew up in the PCN area of NW OKC. Wife is 31 and grew up in Edmond. We moved to Yukon around 2 years ago when we had our little boy. We wanted a good place to raise a family and believe we found it.

I work as a CADD drafter. I have been in it for 9 years. I am a systems designer/drafter for audio, video and lighting systems.

My friend told me about this site on our way back yesterday from the Cotton Bowl. Said there is alot of neat people and information about this great OKC and surrounding areas!

Just wanted to say hello!

Hello I'm knowitallman.

Hi, I'm Don. Navy officer with over 20 years in. Originally from TX and currently between VA and RI, but transferring to OKC in late March. Starting to do research on schools, communities, etc. Planning on renting a home in Edmond.

How do.

Hello, My name is Lynette. I transplanted here to OKC in 1993 from Burns Flat. Yes the home of the Spaceport that never got off the ground. Being born and bred in the Country and always a city girl at heart living in the city has proved to be a real adventure for me. I love our city, I love the potential it offers and I love the people. It is truly a small world even in a city as large as OKC. I enjoy reading the site and keeping up with the happenings. I have worked for American Camaro& Firebird in Warr Acres for 17 years and also assist with managing the Mideke Supply Co Building in Bricktown. My boss Gary Berlin owns both. So much going on in our town, such a bright future I look forward to seeing where the next ten years takes us.

Hello everyone! I am a 24 year old female who just recently transplanted from Orlando, FL, hence the name. I an just looking to connect with people from OKC since I am new here. So far people in Oklahoma seem like a very warm and friendly bunch and I can't wait to meet more of you.

I currently work for a state agency full time and I also have a part time job. As if that weren't enough, I also go to school full time for Crime Scene Investigations. Despite having a full plate, I always make time to stop and relax.

Hi! I'm 19 and a student at OCU

My name is Sam, I've lived Southside OKC all my life (60 years ) I would'nt live anywhere else. I've been in Auto body Repair for 35 years. Been married 35 years, I have 2 children and 6 grandchildren. I enjoy Bass fishing, riding my Harley, and Golf.....................U.S. Grant grad. 1968

Name is Steve, I live and work in Choctaw, been here since 1986, which for me was 6th grade. I just stumbled across this site looking up the earthquakes recently and am interested in seeing what locals have to say about anything.

I just moved here from College Station. I just finished my MS in Electrical Engineering at A&M.

I moved up here to be near my family which has recently moved to Oklahoma City.

I hope to get to know you all! :)

The answer is yes. I joined less than a month ago, and so far mostly everyone seems pretty cool.

:welcome5:

New to the group, I live in Missouri now but grew up in Edmond, still interested in what's happening in OKC and visiting with folks there. Grew up involved with the peace and justice movement, and know there's not just KKK and rednecks in Oklahoma City.

Hi Steph, we need our own section huh..."Displaced Texans", ha!

Born and raised in LeFlore county (partially explains the screen name), lived in OKC area since 1980 (NW OKC, Norman, Edmond, Jones, Choctaw, Midwest City, and back to Norman.)

Hello everyone, I'm Joe Daddy! Whats up?

Looks like a decent site with lots of topics.

Me? Just a middle aged guy surfing the web in OKC.

Catch ya later!

Hey there,

Just found the site and posted info about a program I work for at Redlands College and then started reading the nostalgia stuff and it's great. My name is George and I graduated from CHHS in 71. I look forward to following the forum.

What part of leflore county? Have family that lives there (Poteau, Pocola).

I'm looking to move to Oklahoma from my native Texas as soon as I can. Since I'm a strong believer in making a fool of myself, I mean "you never know until you ask," I'll toss out there for your consideration that I am a recent college graduate seeking an above minimum wage-paying job, a roach-free apartment, and friends who know a thing or two about the area and don't mind a "stick in the mud" tag-along!

Hello all; I was born and raised in Woodward, lived in OKC for 20yrs until I moved to the Philadelphia area 14yrs ago, miss OKC and enjoy the okc talk. I come home every year to visit the family, can't wait to move back.

Hi Steph, we need our own section huh..."Displaced Texans", ha!

Or maybe one for "Displaced Texans moving back to Texas because there's no freaking jobs here"

Hi I live in Kansas City (actually Lees Summit) but I have been to OKC and the company I work for has a big office there. I am currently working on my Missouri CPA and Nevada CPA, and would like to be a controller at a casino someday. Are there casinos in OKC?

One about every ten miles on the interstate system is all. :ohno:

Hi All, I lived in UK for first 28 years, then 5 years in NY and 5 Years in OKC (a little east of OKC but still classed as OKC). I am freshly divorced and happy about it.. I own a couple of small businesses which means I have little time for anything other than work and my dog.. I do manage to get on the intertubes at night though !

Hello,

I'm a self employed web designer that plays rock-n-roll a couple of nights a week, permitting the wife and kid allows it.

I had no idea this place was here until I was searching for a business and came across a post here. This is awesome!

Greetings all! I just found this site.

I'm a videographer / editor by day, and a sleeper by night. My wife and I live in Mustang, and I've been in OKC pretty much since 2003. I have no memory of what bricktown used to look like. Well, that's about it for now.

Been in Oklahoma since summer of '59. Used to watch early space adventurers in low earth orbit from back yard. Not nearly the light pollution back then. Moved to OKC, '72. Moved around OKC since. I do remember Bricktown before it got all neatsy cutesy.

Welcome..corpsman. Been here since 1952.

Welcome..corpsman. Been here since 1952.

Thank you, glad to be here.Then you remember all the old warehouses too. And how long it took to get form Wedgewood Amusement Park to town. Wasn't Springlake great? How about the Saturday morning Little League game Channel 5 used tobroadcast from their back lot over by NW 63 & Portland?

WOW, Springlake is a blast from the past. We used to have a great time there!
