Poor saps? I don't know anyone that has lived in Dallas, from Tulsa or not, that liked that city.
 I can send you a list if you like. [:P]  BTW I was hoping people could tell I was being sarcastic.

Also, how in H-E-Double-Hockey-sticks do you get to Holmes Peak? I've driven all over the Osage hills.

Take the Tisdale/Gilcrease north from downtown.

Exit at Apache, turn left (west).

Apache will bend to the right, take the next left.

That's basically Holmes Peak on your left. Further ahead you'll see the turnoff to the Post Oak Lodge (formerly Williams Learning Center, formerly Our Lady of the Osage retreat, etc).

Are you stupid or just obtuse? Last time I looked Dallas had about 20 Fortune 500 corporate headquarters as opposed to Oklahoma which has what -- 5 or 6 total?

I guess someone likes it there.

Thanks, I found it on Sunday. The views there are very nice. Bet you in 10 years those hills will be covered in residential.

AMEN to that! I live in DFW and wouldn't call anyone living in Tulsa "stuck." I'd say it's the other way around. I'm surprised at the attitude of TheArtist.

I think that a hiking trail and horse trail would be nice by "The American". Make it go up into the Osage hills and the valley that Gilcrease Museum looks down into.

Hey Tulsa!What about a statue of a 900 ft Jesus? lol, I think "The American" is a scraped project, the public relations organization is non-existent,people have tried to contact them, to no avail, not a word in the press in over a year, come on now...It was hideous anyways

Tulsa a city of planning, planning, planning, Tulsa a city of surveys, surveys, surveys.  Tulsa with studies, studies, studies.  Tulsa's studies of economic impact, economic impact, economic impact.  Tulsa's  studies of its overloaded bureaucracy,  overloaded bureaucracy, overloaded bureaucracy. Tulsa when it needs a survey goes to the closet and duplicates one on file plus adding what the people want to hear.  

Tulsa is a dying city that is closed in by fast growing suburbs.  "The American" is another product of dreamers with illusions of the paper green backs.      

Like in the Wizard of Ozz "lets have a party".   In Tulsa present it is "Lets make a survey with public money".  
Today we stand in ecstasy and view that we build today'
Tomorrow we will enter into the plea to have it torn away.

There is lot of studies about development in Tulsa. Time after time all the studies say this-DEVELOP THE RIVER! But it seems we do the opposite, If we are going to spend all this money on studies, why dont we put the information to use, instead of wasting money?
