The job is the greatest news! It sounds to me that they will adapt, but
I think that they should be careful where they live, especially if they are used to a quiet neighborhood and they are going to a bigger town. Gangs are very nasty. Perhaps you could persuade them to look for someplace in the suburbs that is NOT next to a low income housing project where the kids roam the streets all night long....

majroj,El Minuto restaurant holding its own and still popular, though they
have done the fake Mexican urban thing to it and painted it many contrasting colors, have added a wall of some sort outside and changed the menu just a bit. Now an icon.
El Tiradito, right next door remains one of our few worship and voodoo sites left. Catholic voodoo, which is Kosher voodoo, if you know what I mean. The ground is so saturated with the wax of centuries, that, if it caught fire, and it could, it would burn for weeks, like an LA tar pit.
Thanks for reminding me of El Tiradito. I have to go and light a candle there for my Pakistani daughter's daddy, who is hospitalized in Islamabad and needs miracles. Hey, I'll light one for myself while I'm there. Couldn't hurt.

maj, they put in an offer on a house in Edmond, is it?? Got it, too.
I sure do hope that it has a basement or a thick tornado toilet or whatever is recommended thereabouts. We are so weather spoiled here in Tucson.
We all stop work and life when snow falls, just one or two inches that stay for one day. we all have to play with it and talk about it and photo ourselves in front of the snow covered ARID LAND STUDIES sign at the U of A.
When it rains for any length of time, we drive faster and run into each other, just because we can. When the wind really blows and we have sandstorms, we drive faster and run into each other and form long lines of accidents on the freeway, just because we are stupid.
Otherwise, it really is boring weather around here and you have to think up ways to have accidents and the really stupid reasons for them like drinking, we have lots of drinkers.

Pecanflower, I have been gone too long. You say that you are back.
Does that mean that you were gone as I have been gone, too? What made you be gone, health, love, moving to Oklahoma City?? Glad you are back and reading and writing to me.

The only part of OK City I've seen blew in on a twister in 1977 to Omaha.
Really, red mud in the rain.
MAny midwestern areas are racially mixed from the historic military bases there, and from migrant farm workers who stay rather than try to sneak home and back each year.

Believe it or not, I've heard from friends that live there...
...that Oklahoma City is pretty racially mixed. I don't think that they will face any more problems than they would face in any other "smaller" town (as opposed to places like Los Angeles, San Diego, NYC, or border towns). It will be brilliant I bet! I wish them the best of luck. And I send much love to you.
