Tulsa visit before move

Being able to stagger home from Oktoberfest makes the Section 8 and the refineries secondary.

I loved the Westport apartments. The staff was friendly, our location in the complex was great, and I never once had any sense of insecurity. The Section 8 housing nearby is a negative, but it never affected me.

Agreed. I moved there a few months ago and have no complaints. It's not the most posh apartment, and yes parts of the neighborhood aren't too eye pleasing, but for the most part I'm very pleased with my home. I love living next to the River and of course....it is the perfect locale for Oktoberfest. I am sure I'll have plenty of people crashing at my apartment this year.

I worked for a company called Bender Direct Mail for eight years.  They were located in the building just north of Rodgers Litho which was on the northeast corner of 23rd and Jackson.  I know about that Oktoberfest moment; the owner always was able to get us in to corporate day.  We'd take off at 2pm and stumble back to work about 2 hours later.

I guess we were looking for something a little more updated and better kept. I wasn't impressed with the grounds, although the location on the river was nice. Didn't care for the interior either; the appliances were very outdated and things seemed very cheap (the cabinetry, the mirrored walls, medicine cabinet, etc). I suppose we just had different expectations than others.

When they were new they were one of the nicest complexes in town, but that was 1984 or 1985. I worked for a security company in 1983 and worked that site during their construction. There is a place off of 61st and Yale that I worked site security during construction that was nice was Southern Slope.

We signed at Vintage on Yale. Will be moving in tomorrow.

Bah!  Too far South for me.

I expected to get that response from some (or maybe most) on this forum! Had  limited time to find an apartment and it was by far the nicest we had seen. We signed on the spot. As we get to know the area we'll look into other options. For now, it fit what we were looking for.

Do I need a winter jacket if I visit that far north?

North Dallas.  Is that the strip of land along the north side of 111th just west of Memorial that Walmart can't buy to get more entrances on 111th st? If it's north of that, I'll need a jacket.
