"Hideaway Pizza’s skyrocketing popularity led to an expansion into 15 branches since opening its doors in Stillwater, OK in 1957.

"A southside classic in the heart of Capitol Hill, its prices are surprisingly small and its food’s flavor levels (and quantity) immense. My strong recommendation is the cheesy omelet filled to bursting with deliciously slow-building heat courtesy of their homemade chorizo. (Ground pork shoulder, peppers, plenty of spice – it’s delicious.) Accompanied by a mess of well-done hash browns, toast and black coffee, this is basically an ideal start to the morning."

"A smooth, flat, wide, easy 2.6-mile trail meanders in and out of dense woods and farmland and follows the tucks and turns of the North Canadian River after it re-emerges out of Lake Overholser to the south. The 1,000-acre refuge was named one of the 100 largest city parks in the United States and is home to an extensive bottomland hardwood forest. There is something wonderfully ancient and primitive about this part of the North Canadian River as it passes through the refuge; pterodactyl-like great blue herons soar, prehistoric-looking turtles grapple for space on submerged logs and the ghostly shadows of great horned owls abound.Tucked away among the vast urban sprawl of Oklahoma City, Stinchcomb offers a rare glimpse of the metro’s stunning natural history."

"Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge on the far west side of the metro is adjacent to Lake Overholser and features a thousand acres of hiking, fishing, bird watching and exploring. Whitetail deer, beaver, egrets, cormorants and hundreds of species of migratory birds and waterfowl move through Stinchcomb regularly."
