Page 3: Why Your City Sucks: Edmond

1:15 PM EST on February 11, 2010

Edmond is a bit of a funny town. People not from Edmond really hate it. People from Edmond are either extremely proud of the fact they live in Edmond or they hate it. My wife especially enjoys the "Don't Edmond My Norman" bumperstickers. I really don't know what that means, but yeah, keep your grubby paws off my Norman. I'd say the biggest negative I can think of about Edmond is that one certain section smells like total crap. And by crap, I mean canned dog food. There is a Purina dog food factory there and it stinks up a solid portion of the surronding area.

Oh, and I don't know if people realize this, but there are still poor people in Edmond. Everyone acts like its streets are paved with platinum and that every Walgreens and Wal-Mart have gold plated brick exteriors. And while yes, some of the biggest neighborhoods and some of Oklahoma's richest people live there, the town still has your regular hourly wage earners. That sound you heard was the stuck up people of Edmond gasping at such a thing. But it's true.
