Tulsa Olympics?

[sauerkraut]

Nuts? One or Two? You don't live in an area that is routinely surrounded by runs. I don't complain because they are usually worthy causes. But your description is wrong. Once during a run our neighborhood was totally blocked at key access points. The roadblocks were manned but you had to wait for clusters of runners. Then those who had parked in front of our homes emptied their trash, bottles etc onto the easements before leaving. Its better now but still you should get out of the run more often and visit with the people living near by!

Me? I think we should block off the BA expressway, the inner dispersal loop,244 and I-69 to create a fabulous road race circuit for Indy cars or Formula 1.

I don't think it's that bad, there are not races every weekend anyhow. I wish I did live near a racing site so I would not have to drive there and find a parking space. The racing event   "Run To The Son" 5K  course is down side streets and everything is kept clean and tidy, the streets are closed for only about an hour. It's around the ParkView Baptist Church side streets. Many area  residents like to come out and watch the runners, and cheer us on.

The residents of Atlanta Georgia did not enjoy the Olympics, they felt like 2nd class citizens.

All of them felt this way? How sad.

Many of them, that's why we don't want the Olympics in Tulsa. The only people who get something out of the games are the cities  "movers & shakers" and motel & hotel owners who can charge double or triple rates for a room and still stay at full capacity. The biggest losers are the taxpayers who have to support the games, the Olympics don't make money they cost money. That's not counting the millions of dollars that will have to be spent after the games to tear down the Olympic structures and buildings. Another 1 cent sales tax hike anyone? Also commerce is disrupted big time during the games people can't get around the city.

I am not much of a mover but I am known as a shaker.

I would be willing to pay an extra penny for the Olympic Games to come to Tulsa.

Thanks for making it so easy.
