I'll take San Antonio's ghetto population over any other city its size in the Southern half of the United States.

OKC area-wise is pretty massive...

Just to go from Tinker air force base to Cajun King for lunch was a 45 minute 1-way...averaging 50 mph.

Cajun King has chicken strips as it's free table top appetizer like other restaurants give out bread...worth it

It's about an hour and a half drive from the stadium to Rudy's bbq

Albuquerque is a good one. Very under the radar and nice place.

This is a good answer. I saw they are on Metallica's upcoming tour and thought WTF, was Fort Wayne Indiana booked?

2016 population estimate of the city is 197k, Metro area in 2010 was just over 1 million people.
