Don't go downtown...

He's gonna stomp that sucker flat.  Honestly, I find the weirdest things there, but I suspect it would be a good idea to cut back on the espresso.

I think you may have just found a Tulsa Brand!

But wait!  There's more!

Apparently these lizards feed on orange traffic barrels, found in abundance around the Tulsa area.  With such a readily available food source, we can probably expect to see greater numbers of these creatures soon.

One can only hope.  We need more bio-diversity.

Is that the City's Meth Monster?

Is that the City's Meth Monster?

Well done.  Tulsa's got a mascot.

The lizards are assimilating quickly into local communities,  This one is a soccer mom on her way to pick up the kids.  Unfortunately, she was somewhat angry with the coach and ended up eating him and most of the starting lineup.  It was tragic.

I see two.

I saw this one today, obviously a response to those smug "My kid is an honor student at Communist Martyrs High School" bumper stickers:

Now we need him fishing at the tournament, and possibly stuck in 71st traffic.

Why are they seeking better schools and more living space? They are doing this because they are in their 30s and have children.

Yes there will always be people who do that.  But... The larger trend is for more people to be moving to urban/pedestrian friendly areas.  Also lets not forget, that even the article mentions these New Yorkers are moving to "sprawl free" suburban areas.  Some of the areas I have visited around "The City" have yes been quite affordable and such, but were still far more urban and pedestrian friendly than even our most urban and pedestrian friendly areas.  We are all sprawl here and seriously, competitively lacking in urban living options.  And as the urban movement trend continues we will see affordable urban development begin to take shape and good schools become more common.
