Couple of museums, the local historical society museum at the Santa Fe Depot, and the Mabee-Gerer Museum at St Gregory's University, a pretty nice small museum, art, Egyptian, Greek and Roman artifacts and our own Egyptian mummy. http://www.santafedepotmuseum.org/ http://www.mgmoa.org/ We have a bunch of casinos, biggest one is the Grand Casino west of town. http://grandshawnee1-px.trvlclick.com/ OKC isn't far, lotsa stuff to do there, 45 Division Museum, great museum, free, outdoor exhibits, and you could spend a whole day looking at the Bill Mauldin WW2 Pulitzer Prize winner cartoon collection. Everybody we send there really likes this one! http://45thdivisionmuseum.com/ Cowboy Hall of Fame also http://www.nationalcowboymuseum.org/ |
| I think we maybe staying at the grand, company got our rooms so I really have no idea . Got to go to training Monday-Friday . Which movie theater is good got to watch lone survivor if it playing on the 10th lol. Where a good place to get a great steak? Any places I should make sure I eat at? |

We have two theater complexes in Shawnee, both owned by the same people, a movie complex of about 8 theaters and the movies at the mall, 5 or 6 theaters in that one. http://www.visitshawnee.com/ For steaks, go to Paul's Place http://www.paulsplacesteakhouse.com/ For great BBQ, go to Van's Pig Stand http://www.pigstands.com/ Movies https://www.jonestheatres.com/ |

Shawnee Honda is one of the biggest Honda motorcycle dealers in the US, they are the biggest in sq ft, and usually run #2 or #3 in sales in the nation. http://www.shawneehonda.com/ |

The Japanese place in the mall got most of us drunk for free from sake lol. Hopefully will be back later this year for another class. Thanks for the help.

Quoted: I just saw this thread and was about to post about Hamburger King before I saw the date when this thread was started. My grandad grew up in Bowlegs and lived in MWC but Hamburger King was one of his favorites. Did he ever tell you the old joke about going thru Bowlegs to get to Maud? |
