I think you’ll all find Oklahoma is one of the worst places in America, while Dallas is still in Texas and therefore not so bad.

It’s wild that Oklahoma might legalize weed before Texas. They were loving livid when Colorado legalized and set up all kinds of traps near the border catching people coming back.

you can get weed with a medical card there and the dispensaries are built up and ready across from the casinos

Ballot initiatives work when they are allowed. I’d bet if statewide legalization was on even the midterm ballot it would get over 55%. Unfortunately we don’t do that here.

Not for politics, but if it's still around, it's shared with Arkansas. Oklahoma already has medical marijuana, and it's still surreal to me to hear about dispensaries in my hometown there, in a state where every county goes red every single presidential election, even the urban counties.

North Texas is basically South Oklahoma, which is the worst.

Yeah, this. I can't even get excited about progressive local ordinances anymore. I miss Austin's bag ban. My house is overtaken with them again, and I'm given them even when I bring my own bag.

I had a customer in Tulsa years ago. Visited them for 3 days worth of meetings, went to buy some beer to relax after the first day and got back to my hotel room only to discover that low point beer was A Thing.

They have had two. First one was destroyed in a tornado, new one was put up in early 90s. It of course has a cowboy hat. The other big thing in Paris is the giant Jesus wearing cowboy boots at the cemetery.

Driving into Paris has a billboard that says "Paris, TX. Always a great idea!"

Then we read the wiki on the public lynchings that were commonplace and the awful race relations and I'm not so sure that's accurate signage

It does however have one of the tackiest and tasteless war memorials I’ve ever seen.

There is also a confederate statue outside the court house, champions of “the lost cause”. Paris isn’t the most race friendly place. And according to my one family member still there not much into face masks. She did mention they had a very small group turn up in support of BLM, so slight progress I guess.
