Congrats to OKC for ranking #1 among large metro areas for small business startups. Awesome work. Also, patting ourselves on the back, Tulsa ranked #19 among mid-sized metro areas.

That is correct.  We need to get over 1 million, which we should do in the next 5 years.

As Phil Hartman once said "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool", CoCo and Dbackedup.

Well, he didn't disparage it, but he added nothing constructive nor positive, so pretty close to a win, Dback.
