Steady Job Market Places Oklahoma City on ‘Best Cities’ List

U.S. News and World Report lists Oklahoma City among the top 10 in its’ “America’s Best Places to Find a Job in 2009”!

The article states that no American city has been immune to the economic downturn, but several stood out as steady performers. Not necessarily marked by steep job growth in recent years, steadiness during the recession is key.

• Strong natural resources


• Housing markets that didn’t boom and bust

• Close proximity to military bases.

The top cities (in alphabetical order):

1. Anchorage


2. Arlington, VA

4. Honolulu


5. Houston


6. Oklahoma City


7. Salt Lake City


8. Shreveport, LA


9. Tallahassee, FL

Fairview Farm Neighborhood Edmond OK 73013

The Fairview Farm Neighborhood in Edmond is one of Oklahoma City’s premier gated communities of estate homes. Fairview Farm is located on the northwest corner of NW 150th & Western Ave. This makes for a great location: close to highways, Quail Springs Mall and shopping, the Memorial Road restaurant row and the Mercy Health Center.

The lots generally range from ½ acre to 1 acre, although there are some both smaller and larger. A new area within Fairview Farm for those ‘empty nesters’ desiring small lots and low maintenance is The Abbey. There are currently about 125 homes in Fairview Farm and The Abbey with about 75 lots remaining to be built. A large section of Fairview Farm contains a large pond with many homes offering a water view. Access to Fairview Farm is through 4 community gates.

Construction on the first homes began in 1993 and still continues. Builders in Fairview Farm are most of the ‘Who’s Who” of Edmond luxury home builders – Henry Coffeen, Jim Quigley, Larry Russell, Don Ed Roberts, Mark Dale, Matt Wilson, Virgil Onan and Steve Trumbly among others. Sizes range from 3,500 square feet to 7,000 square feet with the median home being about 4,600 square feet. Sold prices over the last 18 months range from $475,000 to $1,730,00 (sold by yours truly!)

Untitled

From my Oklahoma City Postcard Collection...

Baptist Medical Center opened Easter Sunday , 1959. I would guess this photo is from the mid '60s. It opened as a 200 bed hospital and is now 508 beds.

At the time this opened, this was on the outskirts of the city!

From the Integris website:

In 1959 a 200 bed hospital opened on a 62 acre tract in northwest Oklahoma City.

“When I first came to Oklahoma, Baptist was just the place up on the hill with six floors,” said Betty Hudson, RN, retired after 30 years at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center.

“And at that time there wasn’t a lot of transportation out to this far area of the city,” said Sharon Williams, RN, retired after 43 years at INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center. “So, I took a city bus and 50th street was as far as it came.”

Half a century later that “hospital on a hill” now stands as the cornerstone for a comprehensive medical campus that includes physician buildings, specialty institutes and a fitness center.

“The advancements in medical technology have just been fantastic,” said Williams.

“All the specialty areas that offer the very best; Baptist has always been a step ahead of the rest,” said Hudson.

“But I feel one thing that has stayed the same is the spirit of nursing and the pride that we take in serving our patients and our community,” added Williams.

"As INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center celebrates its 50th year serving the citizens of central Oklahoma its mission remains the same as day one, to improve the health of the people and communities we serve, and to do that through the delivery of outstanding clinical care and service excellence,” shared Chris Hammes, president, INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center.

To meet that goal, INTEGRIS has seen many expansions and advancements through the years. It’s now home to eight Centers of Excellence and has led the way with many Oklahoma firsts including participation in the nation’s first six-way, multi-hospital, domino kidney transplant.

“We hope to have many additional patient firsts here for the benefit of the community and the state as well,” added Hammes.

Today at 500 beds strong and growing, the facility remains more committed than ever to providing superior medical services.

“If the original administrator and chief of staff were alive today I think they would both definitely be very proud,” said Hammes.

Bank of the Future | Oklahoma City Historical Postcards

From my Oklahoma City postcard collection...

The State Capitol Bank opened here on North Lincoln in 1964 and remains a bank today, although now an Arvest Bank. This is just north of the capitol complex. The building is still in good shape.

Oklahoma City certainly has its' share of mid-century modern architecture probably beginning, at least in my mind, with the Arrows-To-Atoms project during the states' semi-centennial in 1957. The Church of Tomorrow also began around  that time.
