Craving a non-chain breakfast before going about the rest of our day, my girlfriend and I recently took in the sights, sounds and tastes of the now-modernized Lakeside Shopping Center and their cavernous breakfast spot, Belle’s Kitchen, 7509 N. May. I have been trying to do more breakfast restaurants for the past few weeks, and something about pairing homestyle doughnuts and well-to-do eggs – both of the non-Dunkin’ variety – seemed appealing, and Belle's definitely had us covered.

One of the coolest things about living in a dystopian conservative laboratory like Oklahoma is that we – thanks to a GOP supermajority in all branches of government – get to be the first ones to experience ill-advised, ultra-right wing, culture war-inspired legislative experiments that create way more problems than they ever solve.

It had been many years since I last visited Patty Wagon – a small and fabled burger spot housed in an old Whataburger on N. May. During that last trip, I was writing a review for the long-lost Red Dirt Report and was impressed with what I had, so while in the N. May neighborhood last week, my girlfriend and I stopped by for a revisited review on a different publication's dime.

Last week, The Oklahoma House successfully passed HB 4156. Dubbed the “Oklahoma GOP Is Grandstanding on Immigration Act,” it will create a new crime called “impermissible occupation,” and give our state’s anti-immigration law enforcement complex the power and opportunity to fulfill their most carnal authoritarian desires and freely arrest “undocumented” workers for simply being here “illegally.” The post OK Lawmaker admits he wants to “lock hands and stand” with racists and profilers… appeared first on The Lost Ogle ..read more
