In Oklahoma City, we have quite a few suburbs…some of them are okay, but most of them suck. We’ve selected five of the worst nominees for today’s “Worst of OKC” category: Worst Metro Suburb.
Check them out and vote after the jump:
Bethany
Bethany was the highest ranking city (#30) on our list of the Top 100 Oklahoman Embarrassments. In all honesty, Bethany isn’t that bad of a place to live…that is if you are a white, gun owning, lower middle class, conservative Nazarene.
Del City
Whenever you find yourself in Del City, your first two thoughts are:
A: How do I get out of here, and
B: I hope the locks on my car door work
If you live in Del City, your thoughts are probably:
A: How do I get out of here, and
B: I hope the locks on the large iron gate on my front door work
Edmond
Here at The Lost Ogle, we hate placing stereotypes on things (we also like hypocrisy), so we are not going to throw out the “all people from Edmond are rich, stuck-up snobs” line. The reason? We know that there are actually a lot of poor, stuck-up people who live in Edmond, too. Anyway, that is not why Edmond is a nominee for worst suburb. The reason totally falls on the fact that the now defunct Enterprise Square USA is still the city’s number one tourist attraction.
Tulsa
Technically, Tulsa is not a suburb of Oklahoma City. But since Tulsa is kind of like a suburb without a city, we’ll go ahead and adopt them. Since the Irritating Irritated Tulsan is from there, we figured we’d add them to the list.
Warr Acres
Warr Acres is home to the metro area’s lowest tax rate. Unfortunately, it lacks centers of retail commerce to capitalize on that low tax rate.

F@#k you sofa fu%ker and massages, Norman is not nominated for a reason!
This worst of OKC is Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Jesus is Coming & Cheap Smokes Signs. I actually took a picture of the same signs while going threw Ted’s drive in. There was a car parked under the Smokes sign that had a little picture of Jesus on the side. Well it was either Jesus or Bob Marley…..I couldn’t really tell. If it was Jesus I think he was a little early.
You haven’t lived yet until you’ve had a Tim’s “Frozen Monkey Tail” or Indian Taco MMMMMMmmmm MMmmmmm good dining is to be had in Warr Acres.
Geez-now Norman is making the trains remain silent at night-making Quiet Zones.
Ashton, where have you been? I thought everyone knew of the great Edmond mayor’s disdain for undergarments. I think there was even a photo – taken from somewhat a unique angle – circulating for a while…kinda like the pink bikini shot, only very, very different in every conceivable way.
Where is Midwest City???? Only thing that place is known for is jack shacks……or so I hear
frankly nothing worse than a whole town of mooreons. every mooreon i have ever met is a whiny emo biatch. mooreons are too suburban whitebread to move to norman and too sissy to move to pukon or crustang. why move to the suburbs and completely loose your soul in chain developments and pta meetings. a crack den next to your kids school never hurt nobody
Well, Money ranked Norman (#6) and Edmond (#52) as among the top 100 places to live in the US. Takes care of that issue …
I live in Del City, it’s a shithole. The officials are corrupt (zoning laws are being changed so they can declare anything a condemned through their “Urban Renewal Act” with building laws so strict that only Nasa could fund a new house, maybe), there’s so many drugs available you’d think this is some Columbian Drug Cartel you only see in movies, not to mention the poverty level includes about oh, 80% of Delapidated [sic] City. Being here makes one want to create a movie like supervirus that only targets crackheads, pot smokers and the corrupt officials, to leave this place barren for only the decent people left here.
Here’s to hoping Del City becomes a superfund site due to all the bullshit they spew out here.
“Well, Money ranked Norman (#6) and Edmond (#52) as among the top 100 places to live in the US. Takes care of that issue …”
That’s because the editors at Money never had to attempt to get from 2nd Street to 33rd during rush hour in Edmond. If they had counted the average number of stoplights per mile in Edmond (around 600), they’d never have added Edmond to the list.
