I actually ran across this thread over the weekend and thought about posting it. I read a lot on TulsaNow. It is much like this site which is very informative. You know for the longest time I couldn't stand OKC and never even wanted to visit the city. I grew up just south of Tulsa and it seemed so much nicer and cleaner. This was during the 80's and we all know what OKC looked like back then. Now that I have been living in the OKC metro for the past four years my mind has certainly changed. I will always be partial to Tulsa just because I have found memories of visiting the city, but I will be the first to admit that OKC is running off and leaving them. OKC has been very fortunate to have people in powerful positions that want to make things better. I think what many Tulsans are upset about is that Tulsa has reigned supreme in the state pretty much since state hood. While Tulsa is improving it has been passed by OKC. Everyone hates to lose the top spot. Tulsa will probably always be the prettiest of the two cities and probably the cleanest. Tulsa is currently working on a project that will bring the Drillers downtown. If I am not mistaken they have already secured funding and have picked a location inside the downtown loop. I always hate to see things like this. I think it is bad for everyone. Competition on the other hand is good. Oklahoma is very fortunate to have two great cities. There aren’t too many states that can say that. Anyway that is just my opinion.
