I drive through there fairly regularly running 287 between Denver and Ft Worth.
There was a decent little cafe in town, that we stopped at as few times. Don't remember the name, but the food didn't suck.
Other than that, I'm not sure what there is to do, there.
Calculating what you just said, overall, would you rate Boise City a safe-haven city in Oklahoma or not, even with some EP2 tornadoes? If not, what about Clayton, NM, is it any better? I also like La Junta, CO, and I hear it's better than Boise City, but I don't like its location on the map.
Eddie gein is correct, however, I would not classify these towns as "safe-havens" from tornadoes. The cities you listed could have a strong tornado if conditions are right. Statistically speaking, Boise City is more likely to have a tornado because the boundary of moist air and dry air (Dryline) is more likely to be west of Boise City and east of Clayton. Likewise, Guymon would be at a statistically higher chance of getting a tornado than Boise City. But that doesn't matter if Clayton gets hit and Boise City/Guymon do not which could happen. Either way, the chance you being affected by a tornado is pretty small. You are much more likely to get killed in a car accident than be killed by a tornado. I would not base your move to these towns on tornado chances because realistically, you can see a tornado in any of these towns, but you likely won't. Even if you do, it will probably be miles away off in a field. Just be weather right ready, have an action plan in place if a tornado threatens, and have a safe place like a cellar or basement you can get into.
Would anywhere above ground be considered a safe haven? Not to me.
They say Gallup, NM is the most safe-haven natural disaster free city in entire United States. Nothing breaks down, according to weather history. I was there, love the land but don't love the people.
Still researching more on Boise City lately. For the next 20 years, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, and maybe Missouri at farthest will become permanent new safe blue states. Oklahoma plans to be the last remaining red state, after Utah, in US.
If true, then all the ex-Colorado (a lot) and ex-Texas conservatives (that don't like the Liberal government) will be forced to settle in Boise City or Guymon. Boise City will be 300 degree surrounding with all the blue states. I still believe there's hope for growth soon.

I think Texas is ready to turn Blue this November due to the Dallas shooting.
In case Arizona and Texas suddenly turn blue for this 2016 election, Boise City, OK will be the most southwestern city in United States in a safe Republican state. This should end 45 years of population decline in Boise City with new migration moves from Arizona, Colorado, and Texas.
