Stillwater is my hometown. I never went to OSU but I sure do miss the campus! I used to hang at this little coffeehouse across the street from the firestation called Prana. It's been gone for years but some of my best memories are hanging out there having great conversations with anyone from high school students to college professors! I am so grateful to have lived there and met so many amazing people. I love Stillwater and miss is very much.

My best friend was a student at OSU, and my favorite thing BY FAR about Stillwater, is Eskimo Joe's!! We started a tradition several years back on my 21st birthday that on my birthday, we go to Joe's and get chili cheese fries and a mudslide! Now that she has graduated, we will keep this a tradition! Its a great family atmosphere, and great food too!!

jwfarrimond, My family and I live here in stillwater. We have only lived here for 2 years, but we love it, and call it home. I think Stillwater is great for families. I love the parades, they have every year, and I love the campus, it gives the town an atmosphere, that you don't get in alot of towns. There is always so much excitement in the air every August.

Thanks for your comment. Although I'm British, I have a house in Stillwater (on W 11th) and go over there at least twice a year to visit my American lady friend who is an OSU graduate. She used to live on North Ramsey, but that area fell within the area that OSU wanted for it's new athletic village so she was forced to move from her home. She now lives on S Fairgrounds outside the city. I was in Stillwater just a couple of weeks ago and went to the arts and crafts fair on Couch Park.

I went to high school in Stillwater when it was C.E. Donart. I graduated in 1979 and the went on to Oklahoma State to major in Business Management.
I think that Stillwater is a great community, but I haven't been there since 1989.
My Sister goes back regularly and says that it has changed sooooo much!
Maybe someday i will go back for a high school reunion or something.
Go Pokes!

It's changed more that you might think. Last year OSU did a major land grab of the blocks north of the campus for a new sports village. All of that area has now been cleared of houses. You may have heard something of this if your sister goes back regularly.

I went to OSU, and never wanted to leave the Stillwater area, although I did find myself exiled to the Cincinnati area for a few years. After 9/11 I returned to Stillwater to get a master's degree and now I'm living off of S. Fairgrounds road and commuting to Tulsa every day. These gas prices are helping me lose weight! I find that I don't get food for the road any more when I fill up. I think these little mom & pop gas station/convenience stores are going to hit harder times as gas prices rise.

My commute isn't too bad, really. I take Highway 51 to the Keystone dam, cross the dam and take Highway 412 to downtown Tulsa, where I exit at the Cincinnati Street exit, drive south about five blocks and I'm at work.
I have XM radio to keep me from being bored.
