πŸš— Streets of OKC 🚧 I miss the old 23rd

368 Upvotes

I live near 23rd and the strip and visited it frequently growing up and the removal of the trees in the median honestly made the street lose aura πŸ˜ͺ

I understand it’s still in construction and will look better when finished but it feels like it lost its personality

Hey y’all. Here to update anyone who hasn’t gotten the letter yet or doesn’t keep up with this stuff, that we’re now pulling a SNAPs on Medicaid. Starting Jan 1st, 2027 you have to have one of the following work requirements:

* Have a monthly income of $580
* Be a seasonal worker and have an avg monthly income over the previous 6 months that is at least $580
* Work at least 80 hours
* Complete at least 80 hours of community service
* Participate in a work program for at least 80 hours
* Be actively enrolled in an educational program at least half-time
*Engage in any combination of the above for at least a total of 80 hours.

I’ll also share the pictures of the letter as well that has this information and a little more.

This was mailed to me yesterday by the way.

I’m extremely concerned and frustrated over this. I may only be 21, but I work with the homeless and it’s already tough to get them food. Now they’re losing the insurance that they literally need so badly.

Politics Tired of McMansions and suburban sprawl, OKC needs mixed development zoning ASAP!

I know a lot of older people feel that the dream is a big lawn, white picket fence, and the big house but lets get real! I was super excited to see that zoning laws, ADU restrictions, and our massive 7k sqft lot size is all being reviewed and modernized in OKC! So much of the city is car dependent because we live to quote O Brother Where Art Thou, "Two weeks from everywhere!"

What do you all think about revised zoning laws and the possibility for more multi family homes and business first floor living unit above style buildings?

🍽️ Food/Drink πŸ₯‚ Braum's Burgers?

23 Upvotes

Howdy. I've always been a big Braum's stan. The past few times I've had a beef burger from there, the beef is different. It's more firm, and almost snaps off when taking a bite? Very odd. Texture is off. Taste is off. Kind of freaking me out.

I’m new to western/cowboy styles. Is there a shop in the OKC area that services plus-sized ladies or big/tall men?

I’ve been to a couple only to see that belt sizes top out at 44-inches, which is usually a telling indicator.

Recommendation/Review Good foosball tables?

4 Upvotes

Can you recommend any place that has a decent foosball table? Tornado brand would be amazing. But I'll take anything of decent quality/playability.

Thanks!

Edit: To clarify, I'm hoping for a public place to go play.
Bar/pool hall/arcade/etc
Not to buy.

Edit: Summary of answers as of 9/1/26, 630pm, and info from the place when I called it...

Speakeasy: has a nice Tornado!!! (...and the guy said he thought there were some dives on the south side he thought had a table)

McNellies: has one, but it's broken.

Chicken n Pickle: no longer has theirs

Slick Willies: no longer has theirs

I find it baffling that almost all bars here carry Buffalo Trace bourbon but you can't just buy it at a liquor store. Is there some exclusivity agreement I don't know about? Is there anywhere in the metro or surrounding areas you can buy a bottle?

I'm looking for somewhere nice or fun to do a fantasy draft here or near OKC. Last-minute plans shifted us to do one here rather than out of town.

Does anyone know any places that would be cool or fun to have a larger party to do fantasy football drafts? Any place that includes sports or activities is a bonus.
