Midtown? Really?

Really KJRH?



It does leave me wondering what a property in the middle of a neighborhood is going to be re-sold for and used as though.

Well, I wouldn't call that midtown, but I guess if they think so, fine.

That is a pretty well constructed building, if not a bit unorthodox. Just went in there Friday. Parking lot sucks. I thought it was used for teacher training and as a neighborhood school. The hood is okay and seemed to have a lot of kids around, but then Skelly and Mayo are not that far away.

It soon will fit the definition of midtown. East Tulsa is showing steady growth. Non of the schools in east Tulsa had to be closed for low attendance reasons. Eastland Mall has turned into a nice sized office complex. As the population dwindles in west and north Tulsa, what is considered midtown will shift to the east and the south.

Sometimes a name sticks regardless of the facts.  The US center of population is now in Missouri.  The country has extended from coast to coast for a long time.  Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are still referred to as the Mid-west.

WalMart Neighborhood Market.  Or a halfway house.  Small industrial park.  Split it up inside and sell "booth" space for an antique mall or 'gentleman's clubs' and maybe a couple of bars.  Lots of possibilities with potential for many quality jobs!

There are many definitions of midtown but IMO it's everything in between 244 to the north (excluding the IDL), 169 to the east, 44 to the south, and the river to the west.

I have heard some start to call the area in between 44 and the Creek Turnpike east of the river "Uptown".  Frankly that makes more sense than calling the commercial area by Riverview south of downtown "uptown".  It's also literally "up"town since it's the hilliest part of the city.  I have also heard realtors call neighborhoods around 51st & Harvard "new midtown"...

Midtown does not cross Memorial Dr, that is East Tulsa.

Midtown ends at Yale.........Nor further south than I-44.....

The streets have names in midtown, my theory at least.

That seems like a reasoanble marker - when they ran out of city names east of the Mississippi River, midtown was officially closed.
