@courtcan @straphanger Southern #Oklahoma is similar. We have a beautiful regional park in #ArdmoreOK with miles of foot/bike trails that pass right in front of the middle and high schools...all inaccessible to anybody in town without a car.

My time in #Cleveland #Ohio was much different. Everything was so walkable, including multiple bus lines and a light rail station.

KTEN-TV on Tuesday said efforts to replace their damaged transmitter in #tishomingook "could take several more weeks," with high winds complicating the process.

The transmitter's power has also been further reduced, meaning I'm still not receiving ABC or NBC in #ArdmoreOK.

This all stems from a lightning strike on Aug. 6.

Here's another story on the #ArdmoreOK police chief, who is currently on administrative leave for unknown reasons.

Will #ArdmoreOK city hall be forthcoming about what's happening with the police chief? He's barely a year on the job.

Considering cops are the only people tasked with taking away the rights of individuals, it's imperative that we trust those in law enforcement and hold them to a much higher standard than other city employees.

At what point should local news outlets start talking about the #ArdmoreOK #albertsons?

If the developer doesn't secure that grocery store, they're on the hook for the $1.5 million approved by the city last year for a road leading to that grocery store.

Morning temps this week will be in the 60s (around 20C), the kids are in school, and the wife goes back to work on Wednesday.

Guess who will be going back to the #ArdmoreOK #skateboard park for the first time in about two months...

The KTEN transmitter near #TishomingoOK has been without full power for two weeks after an Aug. 6 lightning strike.

I'm still not getting a good enough signal in #ArdmoreOK to watch anything. #okwx

I just did a minor touch-up of my resume and again thought about the time a reporter the New York Times read my reporting on the pandemic in #ArdmoreOK (hardest-hit area at the time) and literally got in touch with every single one of my sources for their own story.

That's the biggest reason I have a subscription to the WaPo and not the Times.

I have a backup of the profile from my short-lived Mastodon instance somewhere, but it's not here and you aren't missing much.

If you can hear my profile picture, that's pretty cool. I might post interesting stuff from #ArdmoreOK.

Otherwise it'll probably be posts about tech, skateboarding, stay-at-home dadding, or super hot political takes.

Hi.

Today's podcast talks about the some additional work performed on the upcoming Performing Arts Center and the Thursday school board agenda, #ArdmoreOK Development Authority update from The Ardmoreite, and introduces a new segment to the podcast.

On today's podcast, the #ArdmoreOK Commission approved a $36,000 fixture at Rose Hill Cemetery to intern urns. Sanitation and Operation Pride both received fleet upgrades that will take several months to fulfill, and a caught typo may have saved someone from a headache over 27 cents.

Let's get ready for this week's local government meetings with a new podcast! #ArdmoreOK #CarterCountyOK

Ardmore to update master trails and greenways plan - KTEN

#Oklahoma #ArdmoreOK

I'm going to go ahead and say it:

I've driven in #LosAngeles, #Dallas, and #Atlanta and seen some of the worst drivers in the world...

...but those drivers are fantastic compared to those in #ArdmoreOK, where lane dividers are meaningless, every left turn must momentarily dive into oncoming traffic, and the first 5 seconds of red lights are actually green.

We're into the single digits (Fahrenheit) in #ArdmoreOK with persistent flurries (or just blowing around) and this household is staying warm with long johns, fuzzy blankets, and hot chocolate.

Hope you're making the best of this #winterstorm #okwx #oklahoma

Here in #ArdmoreOK we got just under 0.25" of rain with a max wind gust of just over 36 mph. #okwx #oklahoma #weather
