Pretty well defines where the neighborhood is headed.
Yes, but what is worse, I re-visited Lawton, Oklahoma this
summer and saw houses and a strip of really cheap restaurants
thrown up along a river where natural cliffs used to be (at Medicine
Park, in case anyone is familiar). I hadn't had a chance to visit that
particular location
since the late 80's. I should have taken more pictures (in the late
80's). My wife took one (remember the chair?), because she knew if was
sentimental to me.
Fortunately, the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge remained intact,
though I didn't see any buffalo over 3 days.


Aldi's is definitely not high end.
