Is Ryan Walters trying to turn Oklahoma into the "Christian equivalent" of Afghanistan?


No thanks, I don't want it.

When Ryan Walters promotes teaching Islam, Hindu, Bhudah etc (spelling?), I might believe his religious freedom BS.

Quote from: dbacksfan 2.0 on November 13, 2024, 08:10:55 PMI see that Kum & Go has been bought by Maverick convenience stores and will be changing out all the signage. IIRC Maverick has been in Oklahoma for years, I remember stopping at one in Stillwater many times.

Gas Buddy seems to be listing several locations in the Tulsa area as Maverick.

I think the Tulsa area Kum & Go locations used to be Git & Go, but I'm not sure.

The next Tulsa County tax extension vote will include a proposal to build a new courthouse at 8th and Denver. I don't know what they'll do with the empty old Courts building when that project comes online in early/mid-2030s but maybe there will be a case for an additional hotel or other adaptive reuse that would complement the new main hotel.
