It's over for Tulsa for now. We dodged another bullet !!! Our neighbors we not so lucky. But Tulsa is good. Small hail a little wind. No tornado. The storms died down or moved south before they reached us. We only had one hit and it was weak by the time it arrived. To all who posted ,thanks for your concern it means alot !

Tulsa seems to be in the clear. The storms are in the central part of the state, and north of Tulsa.

I'm a little worried about this one developing around Mannford.

Tulsa Ranked #1 (again) on Forbes' Best Cities for Young Entrepreneurs

Not surprisingly, OKC news outlets put out articles about their #5 spot on the list, and they conveniently forgot to mention who topped it

Bumping this to say that my daughter and I spent the weekend in Tulsa and we had a blast (this was a bonding thing, not a BFP meetup, but that can be arranged ). I chose Tulsa because I'd never even been to Oklahoma.

As hokey as it sounds, neither of us would forgive ourselves if we didn't go to the Center Of The Universe, an anomaly downtown where you can hear an echo. I was impressed with how clean downtown was. We were right in front of a tower that is supposed to be the tallest building in the Great Plains, excluding Dallas (if that's even in the GP).

After that, we drove a bit to the greatest aquarium I have ever seen, with a wrap-around shark tank. The aquarium even does weddings-were I getting married, I would so have it surrounded by sharks! Then we drove back across town, fortunately in the general direction of the hotel, to a really large park and a well-done zoo. There happened to be an exhibit of those mechanized dinosaurs there, too. Very close by was the airport and an aerospace museum, but it was closed for a private party that day . Both of us were wondering how Tulsa gets an international airport and Little Rock (which I think is larger, not sure) does not.

I was impressed by Oklahoma in general, at least the parts we saw. On the drive there, we passed a series of lakes and the sunset was really beautiful. As for the people, complete strangers would "Good Morning" and "Good Evening" us all the time. Really nice.

Tulsa was the first city in which I have ever seen a steak place that delivered. We were there for pick-up, and it was a tiny little place, but I bet they make a fortune. At that point, I don't think anything was as delicious as that steak in my PJ's back in the hotel.

It appeared a very diverse city as well-white, African-American, many Native Americans, Asians, and a Jordanian-American who ran the steak place. Tulsa has a rich African-American history, as freed slaves headed west to become (that's right) cowboys and get away from the violence and racism to the east and south. There was land to be had and money to be made.

I did learn a lesson, however: You love your turnpikes up there! So, some amount of singles must be set aside for tolls and not spent on anything else. If we had to pay a toll to get into the city (and past Muskogee), then we would have to pay the same toll to get back out. We were scrounging for change under the seat and sticky coins in the drink cup.

Also, word to the wise: when you leave your home city, always call the bank and let them put a travel marker on your debit card. You will be flagged for a fraud and have to call them when you get home. Thank goodness for a backup.

Those hiccups aside, I loved Tulsa. Little Rock is my home, but Tulsa is my home-away-from-home .

As hokey as it sounds, neither of us would forgive ourselves if we didn't go to the Center Of The Universe, an anomaly downtown where you can hear an echo. I was impressed with how clean downtown was. We were right in front of a tower that is supposed to be the tallest building in the Great Plains, excluding Dallas (if that's even in the GP).

After that, we drove a bit to the greatest aquarium I have ever seen, with a wrap-around shark tank. The aquarium even does weddings-were I getting married, I would so have it surrounded by sharks! Then we drove back across town, fortunately in the general direction of the hotel, to a really large park and a well-done zoo. There happened to be an exhibit of those mechanized dinosaurs there, too. Very close by was the airport and an aerospace museum, but it was closed for a private party that day . Both of us were wondering how Tulsa gets an international airport and Little Rock (which I think is larger, not sure) does not.

I was impressed by Oklahoma in general, at least the parts we saw. On the drive there, we passed a series of lakes and the sunset was really beautiful. As for the people, complete strangers would "Good Morning" and "Good Evening" us all the time. Really nice.

Tulsa was the first city in which I have ever seen a steak place that delivered. We were there for pick-up, and it was a tiny little place, but I bet they make a fortune. At that point, I don't think anything was as delicious as that steak in my PJ's back in the hotel.

It appeared a very diverse city as well-white, African-American, many Native Americans, Asians, and a Jordanian-American who ran the steak place. Tulsa has a rich African-American history, as freed slaves headed west to become (that's right) cowboys and get away from the violence and racism to the east and south. There was land to be had and money to be made.

I did learn a lesson, however: You love your turnpikes up there! So, some amount of singles must be set aside for tolls and not spent on anything else. If we had to pay a toll to get into the city (and past Muskogee), then we would have to pay the same toll to get back out. We were scrounging for change under the seat and sticky coins in the drink cup.

Also, word to the wise: when you leave your home city, always call the bank and let them put a travel marker on your debit card. You will be flagged for a fraud and have to call them when you get home. Thank goodness for a backup.

Those hiccups aside, I loved Tulsa. Little Rock is my home, but Tulsa is my home-away-from-home .
I cannot believe you didn't come to OKC! Tulsa is probably more exciting anyway. We do have museums including the museum of osteology where they have bones of all types. That's fun. Ummm.. we also have a lot of rednecks and oh the OKC bombing memorial but that is kind of depressing. Ah well.. maybe next time and then we can go out to lunch! Glad you had fun.
