Hold on. You were doing not too awful bad mouthing Boise City, until then you had to throw in the whole state of Oklahoma. That was a stupid thing to do.

That's about as remote out in the middle of nowhere as it comes in Oklahoma. Driving through that odd looking butte country with no fences on either side of the highway is weird, especially around dusk.

This is a ridiculously old, dug up thread...

I lived all 4 of my high school years in Boise City. My parents still live there. Not much there sadly. Probably won't ever be.

How or why anybody over the age of 18 is living in Boise City against their will is the big mystery.

Being born and raised there and becoming a homebody would be the only way I could understand it.

I don't know why but I've been wanting to go to Boise City and Kenton just for a visit. The geographical features are a lot different (I'm from Tulsa where it's fields and hills lol), so maybe that's why. Plus I like to travel.

It fits in more with NE NM and South Central CO than the rest of OK. It's actually not unthinkable to catch an easy weekend or a long day on the NM ski slopes from there.

Some definite positives in my book.

Boise City is safest city in Oklahoma with fewest tornadoes and farthest city away from Rocky Mountains with fewest tornadoes again. I do wish more people move here if their old house got struck by a tornado in central Oklahoma.

No thanks. That place is so pitifully small that it can't have so much as a Wal-Mart or McDonald's. I'm used to living in a town with two Wal-Marts and two McDonald's and a lot more stuff.

Land itself is extremely desirable to live, not the population desire. I'm looking for the safest Great Plains city without any natural disasters, and the only ones come up are La Junta, CO, Lamar, CO, and Boise City, OK. Guymon, OK was close, but gets 2 times more the risk of tornadoes and hails than Boise City, OK. I know Liberal, KS is the place to be, and tiny-bit better than Garden City, KS, but neither one is a safe-haven for me.

Risk of tornado index in Oklahoma (Boise City ranked #795/#797 most-dangerous):
