:moo: The last time I drove through there, Anadarko Corporation had some kind of plant there. Government jobs are out of the question, since the post office has closed down. And there are trees in Notrees. They're kind of barren looking, but I think they qualify as trees.

My friend swore that when he lived there, there were NO trees. Of course, that was probably in the 1940s or maybe even in the late 1930s.
