I think its okay...I work in Stillwater so I really can't tell you much.
If you live in the city limits you can get a ticket for parking in you own yard....you have to park in the driveway or road. I think thats BS |

I lived there in college, and always thought it would be a good town to live in other than just college. It is a growing town with a small town feel. It has all of the stores and restaurants as large cities.
Plus it has Eskimo Joes.......

They have a very good fire department. Other than that, I couldn't tell you much about it. Sorry.

I've got a friend working on the Stillwater PD. He really likes the town and the people. I worked on the first expansion of the stadium in 1980. The town was still very rural in outlook at that time. Now it is more of a yuppie breeding ground than a farm town.
Overall, Stillwater is a pretty decent town. |

Lived in Stillwater when I was in college and I grew up in Cushing ('bout 30 miles away).
Stillwater is a nice place. Small town feel with some of the larger city conveniences. In reference to what Dan says, yeah, there's quite a few yuppies there, but it's all in who you associate with. Most folks there are still pretty much honest country types. One thing about it, the population drops by about 20,000 when school is out.  With a handle like De-Professor, I'm assuming you'll be on staff at OkState. What will you be teaching? |

Definitely check out the stillwater rifle and pisol club. They have a range on the west side of Lake McMurtry. The range has been greatly expanded in the last few years. It'll be even busier once the skeet range is setup (spring/summer 06). What type of shooting do you do?
They have an active cowboy section that shoots monthly matches. They are starting black powder sihlouette (sp) this year. IPSC-type steel matches are every few months although I'm hoping to help them happen more often this year. The new rifle range has berms at 50,100,150, 200, and 500 yards. The older rifle range is more established and has 100 yard target frames and shares a firing line with the 35 yard pistol range. |

You don't know how many times they let him go! When it gets reported, they have to do their jobs or be accused of giving preferential treatment.

This is great!!!! Now all I need to do is secure the job! "What type of shooting do you do? " I'm mainly an IDPA type shooter -- however, I'll try about anything.  Sounds like a great setup..... |

You're probably looking at driving to OKC or Tulsa for most IDPA/USPSA type matches. It's a yearly membership club, but you can join throughout the year. You can shoot by yourself after going through the range safety class.

My graduate degree is from the OSU college of Education. I don't know the name of the department now because they've all been reorganized but it was Applied Behavioral Studies in Education when I was there. School Psychology was my area of emphasis. Stillwater is a nice little town, especially if you have a family. For me, the biggest draw in Stillwater is a little Chinese restaraunt called Leo's Peking Place. It's in a strip mall called "Cowboy Corner" on Hall of Fame just north of campus. Their General Tso's chicken and egg rolls are THE BEST!! Good luck! |
