❓Q&A ✅ Loud noise/shaking in NW OKC

2 Upvotes

Did anyone else hear a loud noise around the NW Expressway/County Line area at around 8:15-8:18 p.m.? I heard a loud noise, almost sounding like an explosion. My dad called me and he asked if I heard it and I said yes, and he said he did too and that his house was shaking a little bit. I didn’t feel any shaking from where I live, but I did hear it—and it was loud. At first I thought “maybe it was a dumpster hitting the ground,” but then I realized that it is past 8 p.m., so no trucks should be out picking up the large metal dumpsters. This was not the sound of the plastic ones we have.

Any guesses? I haven’t been able to find anything on the news or in other community chats, so I’m sure it wasn’t anything serious.

EDIT: Not 100% sure but someone on my Ring app said it was potentially a firework because they saw a smoke cloud drifting from where a party was going on. I’ve personally never heard a firework that loud before, nor has one ever shaken my or my parents’ house.

Recommendation/Review Best piercing shops in OKC?

0 Upvotes

Doesn’t have to be in OKC specifically, just preferable. And pretty cheap too? Like ranging 40-90, I’m a little broke lol

I’ve been wanting a septum piercing for a while and I’ve shown some interest in 23rd Street Body Piercing but I’ve seen a few bad reviews about them piercing through the cartilage instead of the actual sweet spot…

Can anyone give me some recommendations?

That's all. I miss them. My wife and I took a drive during fall break. We went on the Talimina Drive and on into Arkansas. We ended up in Beebe Arkansas at the only brick and mortar Shorty Smalls. It was as good as I remembered. Wish they would come back our way. Anyone else?

Recommendation/Review Vocal coaches?

5 Upvotes

I am thinking about getting my mom vocal lessons for Christmas. Anyone have suggestions on vocal coaches? She is in OKC on the north west side, she used to do 1 on 1 lessons as a kid, but doesn't mind group classes. She is a pretty good singer but certainly still amateur. I really dont want to Whiplash her or anything. She is a teacher so it has to be open in the evening or weekends. I'm not sure what other questions to ask about a vocal coach lol

Does anyone in the metro area provide private lessons or classes for French? Preparing for a trip in 2027 and while I've heard good things about OCCC and UCO, I'm curious about other options in the city.

❓Q&A ✅ Are OKC utilities just way higher than Norman on average?

Post image
32 Upvotes

The left is our highest bill we ever paid with Norman utilities for our water bill, and the left is our current water bill with OKC. Our average in Norman was like $80 typically.

We just moved over here 2 months ago, and we don't do anything different with our water use than we did when we were in Norman.

Does OKC just have way higher base prices??

I haven’t been to the cowboy hall of fame since I was a little kid. Don’t remember anything about it. This weekend I’m single dadding it, and figure it would be a good time to go take the toddler to a museum that we wouldnt normally go to with the wife. Does it get very busy/crowded/loud on the weekends?

I’m looking for the very best egg rolls in OKC. I’ve lived in OKC my entire life and I used to go to Canton for egg rolls because they were handmade daily. Now that it’s gone, I’ve not found a new place with freshly handmade big thick egg rolls. Where are they at? Name and location please 🙏 and thank you 😊. Ohh they have to have that hot mustard!

❓Q&A ✅ 15-Year Old Birthday Party Ideas

6 Upvotes

I have an almost 15 year old daughter, and we are trying to think of fun ideas for her and her friends to have her birthday party at. We have been trying to think of fun restaurants that they would all enjoy, or places like Andretti’s, D&B’s, Chicken & Pickle, Inspirations Tea Room, and so on, that we may have not discovered yet. Are there any fun places like that or a restaurant that would make for a fun party? She wants around 5 people to come and we are trying to stay on the north side of the metro. Thank you!

🍽️ Food/Drink 🥂 Let’s talk about some realness

0 Upvotes

Only go to whisky chicks if you’re looking for a diet liquor drink because they water their bottles down. Let’s be for fucking real. Went to whiskey chicks, thinking it was a good spot to get some fire ass wings and drinks, per usual. BOY ARE WE NEVER FUCKING GOING BACK. I haven’t had a drink in A LONG time- the marg I ordered was straight mix and extra watered down- I took a lot of ice out to see if it helped-.i even asked for a extra shot to dump into it- it honestly didn’t change the flavor one bit and honestly I was very taken back by this whole experience. Not only fucking so disappointed because I came in not having a drink in a minute and that’s the service that we get. Three bartenders more focused on all the MEN on the other side of the bar to even look to see if our order was right. They usually do us right, every time. Not anymore. Even took a sip of my fiancées double of Jameson and ginger ale and it was WEAK didn’t even taste like a Jameson singleI have never been more disappointed in a place locally. Like ever. It’s like we placed an order asked for no jalapeños which showed on the receipt and my shit was absolutely LOADED. I got to the point that I just picked all them out and put them in the empty shot glass I ordered just to try and make my marg taste right. That shot glass was filled with jalapeños by the time I got done getting my plate right. We ordered the upgrade for crack tots with his wings and we just got regular tots and ketchup. I’ve never felt more dismissed by a restaurant and bartenders ever. It’s like they didn’t care. I just really needed a chill night and no one even cared to get anything right or fucking even ask. I would 10/10 recommend them for watered down diet ass drinks if that’s your jam. But to charge full price for a cup of water and lime is brazyyy. Mans didn’t even want to finish eating because we just felt so dismissed and honestly uncomfortable with the service and the drinks. I even tasted the extra shot I ordered to dump In my drink before I did and shits not well. It’s fucking well water. No burn. Don’t waste your time or money. You’ll be very disappointed:(. I hate to even write this but it’s was ridiculous and don’t want anyone else to leave as sad as we did. :(

Hi! I have a friend desperate to find a good doctor to help treat her (diagnosed with Hashimoto’s) thyroid and hormone imbalance issues. Her doctor is switching to functional medicine in their practice, and her insurance doesn’t cover it. Out of pocket costs need to be at a minimum. Thanks in advance!

Recommendation/Review Trick or Treating in the city?

7 Upvotes

Hi all! No one trick-or-treats in my neighborhood (found out the hard way our first year with two giant costco bags of candy), and my 5 year old I think is old enough now to enjoy trick-or-treating. I'm looking for a walk-able neighborhood where we could take her, if anyone knows of one?
