Over this site’s long existence, we’ve never shied away from criticizing or poking fun at Oklahoma City’s gated suburb to the north – the vaunted hamlet of Edmond.
From Royce Young’s “10 Reasons Edmond Sucks” to Marisa’s “9 Reasons Why I Hold a Grudge Against Edmond” to my very recent “7 Alternatives to the Weird Edmond Sculpture Park,” we’ve produced plenty of listicles that call out the city, and all the various upper-class elites, snoots, and racist crazies who call it home.
Although we like to make fun of Edmond and its shortbread cookie-cutter culture, I must admit that now that I’m getting older and more settled, I’m starting to better understand Edmond’s allure and charm.
