Where did Okies used to go in the Depression again? We got plenty of entitled homeless if you want an even trade. Careful, many aren't potty trained yet, but maybe one of the new residents can get OKC there very own one of these.

They went to the Central Valley to pick grapes and other crops. Some didn't like how they were treated as workers who stole jobs from Californians and moved back to Oklahoma.

We have enough homeless.

lol.

In the 90s I took a trip to Seattle to visit a friend who had just moved back there and to, at the end of the trip, visit a friend who had just moved there from California with his new European wife

My friend grew up in Bellevue, WA and in the Bay Area.

She showed me the front of the house she lived in in Bellevue, and I took a picture of it.

This irate man came running out of the house demanding to know why I was taking a picture of his house.

Before I could say anything, my friend said to him, " Mr. __________, I'm ________, _______'s daughter. I'm just showing my friend where I used to live" (her parents still owned the lot next door). His body language and demeanor changed, and he invited us in and showed us the house.

So how do the above rankings correspond to the top 5 for number of out of state license plates seen in Stillwater?

1. Texas - by far no. 1. Texans love OSU.
2. California - Supposedly Californians are responding to the bribe to move to Stillwater. But a few Californians were already moving in before that incentive started.
3. Kansas - The nearest state. On a good day it is no. 2
4. Arkansas
5. Missouri - It's plenty rare, but Colorado hardly ever shows up.
