5 Best Restaurants in Lawton, Oklahoma You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Lawton, Oklahoma — a city where the prairie wind carries stories and the sky stretches wide, where Fort Sill’s legacy mingles with the laughter of families, and where every block is stitched together by the dreams of soldiers, students, and old-timers who call this patch of red earth home. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: brick storefronts, weathered diners, and the gentle sprawl of neighborhoods where porch lights glow late and barbecue smoke drifts on the breeze. It’s a place where the food scene is a living, breathing thing — shaped by Comanche roots, military wanderers, and the quiet pride of those who never left and those who found their way back.

Short says Wichita Falls has work to finish

Wichita Falls mayor Tim Short said Thursday he will concentrate on things the city started in his first term. “We have things we need to finish,” he said. Short won reelection Tuesday to a new three-year term, defeating challenger Scott Poenitzsch by winning 61 percent of the vote. “We continue our economic development plans. We continue to strengthen our relationship with Sheppard Air Force Base, encouraging new missions here,” Short said of his plans. He also said since Democrats won the top races in Texas state government, “we’ll have to introduce ourselves to some of those folks and see how we can continue to work with them.” Gina Hinojosa, who has called for a continued moratorium on data centers, won the gubernatorial race. Short said he would love to meet with her or her staff to discuss the future of a Skybox data center planned for the Wichita Falls Business Park. “We would like them to know that Skybox is basically the model that should be used throughout the state of Texas,” Short said. “All the things that people want, Skybox does.” Skybox, based in Dallas, bought 225 acres in the business park for $14.5 million and has promised property

Democrats flip 6 Oklahoma House seats, chipping at GOP supermajority

The Democratic Party made waves in the Oklahoma City metro , Tulsa and southwestern Oklahoma on Election Night Tuesday, Nov. 3, flipping multiple state House seats and chipping away at the GOP supermajority. Democrats hoped to flip at least three seats in the House before the Nov. 3 election. They doubled that number instead. Four seats in the Oklahoma City metro went blue, while a fifth flipped in the Tulsa area. Another Democratic upset happened in Lawton. More: Oklahoma Senate elections usher in new faces at the Capitol At the same time, several far-right, Freedom Caucus-aligned Republicans had already been ousted during their primary elections by more moderate competitors. While Democrats didn't flip those seats during the general election, many of them were filled by those new Republican senators who rebuked the incumbents on their right flank. Despite being unable to flip Senate seats, Democrats viewed their marginal gains in the House as an opportunity to build power. "These new Democratic legislators move us closer to breaking the Republican supermajority and give us more votes and voices to advance good policy,” said Oklahoma Democratic Party Chair Erin Brewer. But Oklahoma House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, said the results in the
