To anyone in #OklahomaCity who has been following the news ... do you know anything about what was happening this evening on SW 29th Street just a bit east of Penn? There looked to be around 20 police cars with lights flashing all around that area.
Treating myself to a coffee on the way back from the train station. The baristas and the other patrons chatting about how they were all unwell over the holidays and I'm the only one in a mask. #bw#hipstamatic#norman-walsh #Photography
I am incredibly grateful for two of my favorite religious leaders to speak with such clarity to the #OKC council, Rabbi Harris of Temple B'nai Israel - OKC and Imam Imad Enchassi.
And a huge thanks to OKC City Counciler James Cooper for making this happen
Just after midnight, Oklahoma City police responded to a shooting near the Sunset Patio Bar just off Northwest 10th Street and Hudson Avenue. Police said one person was shot multiple times after a verbal argument turned physical, and the suspect pulled a gun.
Oklahoma City Public Schools is rolling out changes regarding security at athletic events in the wake of the deadly shooting at a high school football game in Choctaw.
I don't know why it still surprises me every time somebody in #OklahomaCity traffic is a complete asshole to me, but somehow it always still surprises me. Maybe I really am just the eternal optimist, but it really surprises me still. And it makes me so angry. And now I'm going to go work it out and leave it on the #Zumba floor. Fuck.
@courtcan In general, I don’t understand why everyone is in such a hurry. Why do people push their cars to the speed limit and beyond when they can see the stoplight ahead of them is red? It’s usually in this case that other people honk at me, yell at me, cruise around me. And then 20 seconds later they’re at a red light with everyone else. I think they don’t understand story problems and average travel times.
Why are the trees planted all over my city not fruit trees and nut trees? Why aren't all the decorative bushes berry bushes? With #homelessness & #FoodInsecurity being continual reality in #OklahomaCity, why aren't all the public trees & bushes food-bearing trees & bushes? Considering our yearly 100+°F temps, why aren't there free, well-maintained water stations on every block?
These are rhetorical questions. I know the answers. But they are not valid answers.
@courtcan It is difficult to remain an idealist these days.
I would love to live in a community where everyone has the time and inclination to have gardens and we all share produce.
Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt announced on Thursday that the city is "close to a jointly agreeable proposal" that would build a new downtown arena for the Oklahoma City Thunder and other events.
8/ Not quite as far away with this one, & while a first time in Chester 🏴 might not seem quite as exciting as some of the others on this list, as well as the amphitheatre & walls, managed to at last complete my punch card of Norman Cathedrals in England 😊
#FontsonFriday and it is of course the spectacular Tournai at East Meon, this has got to be an all time favourite, an iconic piece of #Romanesque craftsmanship
#FontsOnFriday & this one is absolutely wild,
the font at St Mary's Luppitt in Devon, described variously as ' #Norman or late #Saxon' with vivid carvings of beasts and combat
Is it just me? The sea of alternating blue and white T-shirts alternating by section in #OKC is oddly unsettling. Gives off a weird Stepford Wives, Brave New World, Logan's Run vibe that's making this game hard to watch. #NBA#NBAPlayoffs#basketball
