There is a Dallas, SD.  I had relatives there.  I think they call it "Little D"

Sure- it was just in the ads, it was some sort of event/show that billed it's-self as "T-Town"- I see the name "T-Town" alot. I bet there are companies that call themselfs "T-Town- something" in the phone book.  such as "T-Town Plumbing".. Many posters here say that the word "T-Town" is not used, but if you look around you really do see it alot.

Yep the trolly is "T" Towne- Some posters here act as if I invented the word "T" Town,- I did not invent that word trust me, I learned it from being here. Go to the business section of the phone book and go to the "T's" you'll find tons of companies that call themselfs "T-Town" this &  "T Town" that. "T" Town grass cutting, "T" Town painting, "T" Town body shop on & on the list goes. I have seen Tee Shirts that say "T" Town this or "T" Town That. As for Dallas, that city is offten called "The Big D" and Fort Worth is called "Cow-Town" .... Billy Bobs Texas Anyone?

BTW~ I'm planning on going to Fort Worth this week, going to drive my old heap.

No, they act like you are trying to use an overused marketing scheme in reference to a city that most are quiet proud of.  Yes you see it on the name of a lot of businesses, but as I said, it's an overused marketing ploy.  No one that lives here actually refers to it as such.

I use it,  its just a common nick name I have heard all my life here, no big deal.... Can't recall ever hearing it being use as some sort of "marketing scheme"?

I'm sorry to do this, but I'm also going to have to back-up Sauerkraut here and say that I too have heard and use the term "T-Town" quite often. Sure, I say "Tulsa" way more than I say "T-Town", but I say "T-Town" on ocassion when referring to Tulsa in areas with cultural and regional ties to Tulsa (such as OKC, Wichita, and Houston).

Good lord, what is wrong with saying "T-Town?"  I heard it all the time growing up and still use it occasionally now when referencing the city.  230 businesses agree: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=tulsa+t-town&fb=1&gl=us&hq=t-town&hnear=tulsa&view=text&ei=W-bVS5udCZDW9ATF64zDDw&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=more-results&resnum=4&ved=0CCgQtQMwAw

I think it's adding the "e" to the end of Town that's pissing people off.  I've heard T-Town all my life, BTW

I guess I should rephrase.  I say marketing scheme because it has become a mantra for business names.  I guess scheme isn't the best word for it, but it is what came to mind as I was writing.  As far as people that live here not calling it t-town, I'm sure we have all refered to it affectionatly as such, but what I'm refering to is during a general conversation such as when someone asks where you are from, where you are going, where something was made or something along those lines.  Most of the locals use t-town more whimsically, where as kraut seems to use it as a substitute for Tulsa.

What really gets me is when people call it Tulsey Town.  I know the accepted history is that is what Tulsa once was called, but to be honest, I have found not a single shred of historical evidence to back it up, and I have looked.  But that is a whole other can of worms.
