How far southie do you want to be?  A little more northie, a little more southie, or roughly the same latitude?

Just want to cross the border back into Tulsa City limits?  Be careful Tulsans don't consider you an illegal immigrant.

"Papers please"....

The great thing about Tulsa is that you can still say you live in Tulsa, but keep that suburban feel as long as you aren't in the Tulsa PS district.  Most people I know especially those with kids, wouldn't admit to living in Tulsa proper, but will tell people what school district they live in (so long as it's not TPS).

Something like:

I live in Tulsa but
my kids go to Jenks Schools
?

Essentially, yeah.  Maybe not even the first sentence for some people.

My kids go to the highest rated public schools in Oklahoma. Yes, they are part of Tulsa Public Schools.

It would be nice if TPS could get the whole system to that level.  No, I don't have the answer.

When our family moved here in 1971 from Springfield (suburban Philadelphia), PA, one of the factors for my parents buying in Bixby was the reputation of Bixby's schools being better than TPS.  If that was really true, I'm glad my sister didn't have to go to TPS.  She was starting 9th grade in Bixby.  Most of the 9th grade in Bixby had been covered in 8th grade back in Springfield, PA.

Nice real estate between 101th/111th -Harvard/Yale in Jenks Schools.

Houses and SQ's are redaunkulous.

My wife wants to buy a house near 55th and Sheridan. It is way below market price because it needs some fixes.

I believe she never had a dollhouse as a child and sees this place as another chance to decorate and renovate. I blame that TV channel HGTV. It is costing me a fortune.

You actually hit on the area I was planning to visit today. It's about a 1-2 miles west of where I am at now--and its closer to HH.

I'll take Ho Hizzouse for $100 Alex!

You were right on Full Sail Ale BTW.  And very cheap at Parkhill's.
