Guthrie

H and I are setting up some appointments to look at a few houses in Guthrie. Do any of you know anyone who lives there?

H has always dreamt of living in a small town, but I'm apprehensive. I grew up in a super small town, and swore I'd never live in one as an adult. Guthrie isn't TOO far from OKC, so I think it might be doable. I've heard the schools are great, but then I'd also heard there is/was a gang problem? Just curious if anyone here has any firsthand knowledge of the place.

TIA!

    The drove alone from Guthrie to downtown OKC for work would be enough for me to exercise my right to veto this idea.

    Yeah... I think it'd be about a 30-40-minute commute. I'm apprehensive, but still considering it. I don't think I'd hate the drive (I actually enjoy driving), but I would hate waking up 30 minutes earlier. Not sure if it's a deal breaker, yet.

    I haven't heard anything about gangs, but I have heard that it is a hotbed of drug activity (meth in particular, I believe).  I'm sure it largely depends on what part of town you are in.

    Ditto. I didn't know you (McGill) worked downtown...that would be too far of a commute for me personally.

    We actually looked at a few homes in Guthrie back when DH worked there. The major problems we had were, 1., we weren't happy with the schools. We would have sent a child to a private school if we had lived there, which would have meant more driving and 2.,many of  the neighborhoods were wierd. While there were a couple of nice ones, there were many in which a gorgeous old Victorian was located next door to a falling down shack.

    Really? Meth? I guess that explains why big homes in Guthrie are so affordable. :-/

    Your commute would probably be similar to mine, 45 minutes. But you'd be going with traffic instead of against it. And I've seen some bad traffic on 35 South. I hate the commute. That said, I could live in Guthrie and get rid of that commute and save myself a ton of time and money, and I still won't do it. Guthrie is gross.
