The Morning Crew on KLAW

Film crews are in town shooting scenes for the new movie 'Washington's Armor.' They're on location at the 'Trading Post' at the Museum of the Great Plains.

The Grinch stole Christmas this year for several people in and around Oklahoma County. Earlier today it was discovered that around 600 Amazon packages were stolen, gone through, and unwanted items and empty boxes dumped on the side of the road.

You may or may not know that there's an Amtrak train the Heartland Flyer that runs from Oklahoma City to Fort Worth, Texas. It's about a 4 and a 1/2 hour trip both ways with a 5-hour stay in Fort Worth. Sounds like a great time and a great day-cation ideal.

I had no idea we even had a museum like this in Oklahoma. You can bet I'll be loading up the car and taking the quick trip down I-44 to visit Skeletons Museum of Osteology. It's located at 10301 South Sunnylane Road in Oklahoma City, and just an hour and a half away or so from Lawton, Fort Sill.

The past couple of months have been incredibly busy for all of our volunteer fire departments around Comanche County, OK. and we certainly owe them a BIG THANK YOU for all they've done and continue to do for us.

You may, or may not have heard all the rumors about Chick-Fil-A in the Central Plaza in downtown Lawton closing down, but it's true. Sadly they'll be closing this Friday (12-31-21) permanently. Time is running out and so is the food so if you haven't said your goodbyes yet you'll want to stop by ASAP while you still can.

We'll be seeing higher electric bills in Oklahoma starting 2022.

Mother Nature sure has been moody this year. In 2021 Oklahoma has set several weather-related records. Some good, some not so good. We've seen everything from extreme thunderstorms, high winds, tornadoes to rapid low and high-temperature changes. And 2021 isn't over yet, we still have a few more days to go.

Looks like Lawton, Fort Sill will be getting a new internet and cable company sometime in 2022.

Well, it's hard to believe but Christmas has come and gone. This year has flown by, at least for me it has. Now that Christmas is over when do you start taking down all your lights and decorations? It's a question that's plagued mankind for centuries, just how long do you leave it all up before packing it all away?

We have a brand new mural in Lawton, Fort Sill thanks to Justin Hackney and Spreading PAINT. You can see the new mural on the corner of Gore Blvd and 14th Street on the side of Hearts That Care Volunteer Clinic at 1313 W. Gore Blvd. Hackney's latest masterpiece is located on the west side of the building.

This Sunday, December 19th (12-19-21) at Central Plaza in downtown the Lawton Academy of Music will be performing live in the center court helping to spread a little holiday cheer.
