From Wikipedia:
Norman (/ˈnɔːrmən/) is the third-most populous city in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, with a population of 128,026 as of the 2020 census. It is the most populous city and the county seat of Cleveland County and the second-most populous city in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area after the state capital, Oklahoma City, 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Norman.
The city was settled during the Land Run of 1889, which opened the former Unassigned Lands of Indian Territory to American pioneer settlement. It was named in honor of Abner Norman, the area's initial land surveyor, and was formally incorporated on May 13, 1891. Norman has prominent higher education and related research industries, as it is home to the University of Oklahoma, the largest university in the state, with nearly 32,000 students. The university is well known for its sporting events by teams under the banner of the nickname "Sooners", with over 85,000 people routinely attending football games. The university is home to several museums, including the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, which contains the largest collection of French Impressionist art ever given to an American university, as well as the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History.
Norman's National Weather Center (NWC) houses a unique collection of university, state, federal, and private-sector organizations that work together to improve the understanding of events related to the Earth's atmosphere. Norman lies within Tornado Alley, a geographic region colloquially known for frequent and intense tornadic activity. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC), a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that delivers forecasts for severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other high-impact hazardous weather in the contiguous United States, is located at the NWC. Additionally, research is conducted at the co-located National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), which operates various experimental weather radars and develops innovative tools, applications, and techniques aimed at improving forecasts and warnings of severe weather.

Had you continued east on East Main Street from the roundabout at 7:47 , you would have run into the north end of Lake Thunderbird in another ten minutes.

Actually, East Main street ends in a dead-end at the Wal-Mart supercenter. You might be thinking about Alameda Street instead.

problem with the usa and suburbia is cars cars cars. nobody goes on foot hardly anyone walks and there are no places nearby to walk to.. its very unsocial environment, which is why we decided to buy an acreage. might as well be surounded by nature..

That’s because there aren’t any people. Norman was abandoned about 10 years ago. Everybody moved out. You won’t find any information about it online because they don’t want you to know.

All these places fall into 2 categories: empty cities and empty suburbs. It’s like you roll through all these places on a Sunday afternoon.

@soonerbmama6727 11 ай бұрын

I live in Norman and after viewing this, I’m pretty certain it most likely was a Sunday afternoon. I could tell by businesses that were passed and the amount of cars parked in front of them on Main Street and Grey Street.

This video was shot in July this year (in the description). This is when most of the student population of the University of Oklahoma is out on summer break - during the regular fall and spring semesters, you'll find cars and students everywhere from 15:00 onwards. But Norman is hardly an "empty" suburb at 128,000+ residents. And has been (and is still) growing.
