This post is for anyone that decides to visit the ugly town of Lawton, OK. My husband is in the military so this is why I am here, otherwise I would probably be living in Orlando, FL. It's going to be a year since I arrived at this military town. My experience here has been bittersweet. The Fort Sill post sucks really bad if you're gonna compare it to a base like Fort Hood, TX. The PX please, do not even try it. Usually, the PX is supposed to be a good experience well not here in Oklahoma. I think I can go around the PX in 5 minutes and come out bag less.The food court is ok, the shoppettes ( gas stations/stores) are nicely kept. Housing looks nice on post but only the neighborhoods that are new. The old neighborhoods are located near the busy traffic and weirdly by the PX, which yes it's convenient but mostly single soldiers hang out there. This post is a training post, so this means we have new soldiers that are going through basic and AIT. The town outside Fort Sill is Lawton, OK. Lawton is the ugliest town I have ever seen. I thought I saw ugly when I lived in Texas for a year. This by far is the leader on my list of ugly towns. Housing here is very rare, by rare I mean people like to live like pigs and do not like to maintain their homes. When you look around for houses for rent, some of them claim to have updated the homes but actually look like they still belong in the 50's. Some places you should stay away from if happen to move to Lawton are:
Reynolds Army Community Hospital
Chinese restaurants
Korean Restaurants
Perfect 10 nails (treated me like I was crap)
The Lawton mall (horrible place that offers no fun shopping)
Summit Village Apartments ( nice looking from the inside but way overpriced)
Any houses for rent near the Lawton Airport ( a lot of bum activity)
Places to check out:
Qhanah Parker Wal-Mart
A nail place inside the mall ( best nail place hands down)
I will Update the list soon....
