Way back when I moved from OKC to Edmond, there was only one motivating factor… getting my kids into one of the top public school districts in Oklahoma. That was over 10 years ago and I’ve been shown time and again that the standard here in Edmond hasn’t dropped. Need data to back it up?

Additionally ALL of the schools in Edmond’s district are ABOVE STATE GOALS. DeSpain said the outstanding student achievement reflected in the ... Read Full Story

Each time I witness a fire, flood, or any other devastation to property, it gets me thinking about my insurance coverage, and with the high-profile media coverage of yesterdays (and today’s) fire at the Enclave at Covell Village, I would guess there are many more folks thinking about the same thing.

More fun is on the way to Edmond, Oklahoma , just in time for the spring and summer.  The spacecraft-themed Chitwood Park will launch a fun, new design for kids of all ages in March, weather permitting of course.  The design will expand on the current spacecraft theme of the old rocket slide with new custom-made playground equipment. The original rocket slide has become somewhat of a safety issue over the years.  Children are able to crawl through spaces that they shouldn't have and pull bars off.  The rocket slide was added to Chitwood Park in the late 1960s.  Many of Edmond's adult residents ...
