I think this was just a little jab at those T-towners who for years considered OKC to be the bastard step-child of Oklahoma. They were the "cultural elite" living amongst rolling hills and trees, and we just a great big cow town in the middle of the dry, desolate prairie, with plenty of cow chips - and not money - to throw around.

I know for a fact that for years some Tulsans would refuse to come to OKC foro ANYTHING because they considered it beneath them.

Now we have a resurgence and it really feels good to us. We're experiencing a comeuppance of sorts, and it's now our turn to brag. Tulsans now come here in droves for our restaurants, Bricktown entertainment and opportunities that they don't have.

I agree with you, though, in that I would like to see them develop more, especially along their river, which is beautiful. For some reason, they just can't get it together right now and we just happen to be on more of an upswing. So, yeah, it kind of feels good to dish it out every now and again, especially because we had to put up with it from them for so long.
