Traffic today sucked cause of the construction. The 12th Ave se intersection was all sorts of fucked.
Live near the Sooner Mall in the Rambling Oaks neighborhood. My brother left a window open and my cat escaped on the morning of Dec 2nd. He's escaped before but always came back very quickly once I would start calling for him. This time he isn't coming back and I'm terrified something has happened to him. It's so cold outside too.
He's a gray/brown tabby with one wonky eye. Should be easy to ID. He is neutered and microchipped, and an indoor cat.1 year old. He is NOT wearing a collar or tie.
I have put up flyers around the neighborhood, I've searched with a flashlight under cars and in bushes and in trees and under nooks and crannies. I've called for him. I've placed his food and blankets in the garage overnight with the door cracked. I have left more of his blankets on the back porch. I left the window he escaped from open in case he returned overnight. He has a big carrier in our garage with MORE of his blankets and my dirty laundry in it to entice him because of the cold. Idk what else to do except beg people online to please look for him.
He's not used to being outside this long and I'm sure he's getting hungry and thirsty. I'm just really worried about my little guy. Please let me know if there's something else I should do or if you even think you see him.
I usually walk my dog before work this early morning when I stumble and look upon the most horrific thing I ever seen. A man was looking down from his balcony jacking off. I think we should teach him a lesson ,kids are in these apartments. I believe he in apt d 1353 12 ave ne apartments by the highway,some people are really sick !!!!
I’m looking to purchase a car within the next 6 months. Which car dealerships in Norman have you all found the most helpful and easy going in the process? Should I look outside of the city?

Hey fellow Okies! I just found this really neat website you can post where there is food growing so others can go by and grab some berries off a bush or a fruit from a tree, this is so neat!!! We don’t have a lot of places in our state marked yet, but it could be an incredible resource for the unhoused, or even some of us brokies to get a little free food! Please consider taking a gander and posting a few places near you!
It’s called https://fallingfruit.org/
I plan on using this as a motivation to get better at identifying edible plants!
The best choriso I've had is at Juan del Fuego. They make it onsite and it's delicious. Nothing I've tried from grocery stores comes close but I'm wondering if there is a popular brand locals use in their home cooking.

Hello! Lost wallet at Target, I think. Please let me know if you find it. It’s not mine but my boyfriends. It was likely either in the parking lot or a hand basket. Checked out at the self checkout. 🥲
Who has the best tamales around here? Like homemade Christmas tamales by the dozen.
I moved away from Norman at the end of 2017. Before the move my cat ran away and never came back. I checked all the message boards and shelter websites religiously for a few years and never got word of her. Today I'm having one of those late nights where I'm up thinking about her, and wondering if she was ever found or still out there somewhere. It's a long shot, but here is a picture of her. She would be older now but she has a very distinguished black spot on her nose.
I think about her all the time. I hope she found a home out there.
The kids have been obsessed with paranormal hauntings lately thought it would be cool to try to find some hauntings here in Norman. Since the ghost tour guy isn’t doing any tours right now, any suggestions?
did anyone see the streetlights (and i mean like, most if not all of them) flashing on ed noble parkway tonight? they weren't quite strobing but still pretty quickly flashing, not all at once either but staggered. does anyone have any idea what could have happened? wish i had gotten a picture or video but didn't think about it until we had already passed.
And the southbound 77 ramp is closed. There’s a truck dangling off the bridge.
SOOOO many people doing the 5k this morning. Happy Thanksgiving!!
I was up in Norman yesterday with my dad for one of his doctor's appointments, and we stopped for dinner when someone stole my tote bag. Inside were my car keys, my wallet, and a bunch of other personal items. I’ve made a police report, but I’m still so heartbroken that I am reaching out to the Norman community. If you see a very tall, skinny white man in a washed-out red hoodie, please tackle him to the ground for me and steal my tote bag back. I will give you a giant hug, kiss, and maybe even $200 bucks. Attached below is the tote bag in question!
With love,
Not sure I wanna go to campus corner if it's gonna be a bunch of 21 year olds. Are there any other good bar streets in southern OKC or in Norman?
Did you know a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant opened in Moore? I got To Go yesterday, and it was really delicious and reasonably priced. My favorite is the seasoned wings. The name is K world Chick in Western Ave.
Looked like it… sad…. be careful out there!
Hey.
I'm looking for websites / places where I can get cheap good accommodations, for one person, especially near Norman Regional Health, for 1 month.
Any suggestions please? Thanks
Any tips, tricks, anything to know to make it the best experience?! I have tried to find anything to do before dark or on the way and can't find much! Not really looking for eat spots. Any good view points or picture spots along the way?? Thanks everyone!
Hey! Crazy Cat lady here, are there any Holiday (aka Christmas) light areas I can either drive through or take my cats on their harnesses? Norman would be ideal, but OKC and environs good too?
Hi there! I’m an OU student, and my class is doing a survey about the Norman community’s feelings toward the proposed entertainment district.
It’s about 10 questions long, so please fill it out and share it with friends and family who live in the Norman area. To have any kind of accurate results, we need at least 500 responses. We’re already halfway there.
Our class will be sharing the results with the Norman community once the survey is complete.
Thank you.
I have a gas dryer that just got replaced. Probably something simple but just decide to upgrade anyways. Hoping to get a few bucks for the parts at least.
Anyone still not have their trash picked up today? I’m on northwest Norman.
Is it possible to visit Talimena Scenic Byway from Norman and be back the same day? If yes what route to take to get there which is more scenic? If no where to stay the night so its cheaper?
Any other suggestion of places to visit on the route are also welcome.
Thank you
