As a long-time resident of Midwest City, sometimes it seems as though Eastern Oklahoma County is ignored by the rest of the county.

Why do I live in Midwest City? Let me count the ways:

  1. 12 minute drive to downtown OKC, and going opposite direction of both traffic and sun-in-eyes
  2. Sales tax is cheaper
  3. Neighborhood (original square mile) is quiet and settled - good mix of ages, races and nationalities
  4. We are finally getting some new eating and shopping places on SE 29th
  5. Property taxes and insurance rates lower
  6. Schools better than OKC
  7. People actually come out for community events
  8. Did I mention 12 minute commute?
