So you lived in Texas, now live in Ohio, have family in Michigan, and plan on moving to Las Vegas or Arizona.  One has to wonder why you spend so much energy concerned about and belittling Tulsa?

No offense, I'm just curious.

I love Tulsa I never said anything bad about Tulsa I have alot of friends in Tulsa. All I said is all things equal if I had a chance to move to the D/FW MetroPlex or Tulsa I'd pick the D/FW MetroPlex, the climate is better and the city has more to offer since it's so much larger, but that's not Tulsa's fault. I'm at a Tulsa forum because I like Tulsa and want to know what's going on "T" Towne. I also like the city of Omaha, I work as a customer service rep so I travel alot in my job.

There is no state tax but on my 150K home I pay almos $4000 per year in property taxes. In Oklahoma I understand property taxes would be about 1/3rd that.


As for heat, please, come take some of it away!! It was 97 degrees this weekend with a heat index of 108 on Monday. It's MAY for crying out loud! May is supposed to be flowers and spring, not unrelenting heat!

As for more to do, I could find more things to do in and around Tulsa that are to my liking. Outdoor recreation is going to be a lot more attractive in Tulsa than in the DFW area. For one, it takes forever to get out of this megopolis and then there's not much to see once you do..

Ok. I'm off my soap box for now.

our property taxes on a $205K home are 2700 dollars a year.  As far as not alot to do in Tulsa, there are plenty of events that many people aren't aware of.

Yep, I rest my case. The cost of living in Tulsa is far less than it is in just about any city in Texas.

As far as Sauerkraut goes; I don't think he has a mean bone in his body and I don't recall him ever "bashing" Tulsa. He has his preferences, as we all do.

As for medium to large cities, Tulsa is on THE TOP of my list. It's a beautiful city and has everything I want or need.

PS. Sauerkraut, I'll sell you a nice 1800 square foot home in the middle of the DFW metroplex for a good price! []

All I need then is a good job. As for the high A/C bills, People lived in Texas long before A/C was invented and they got along fine, but Heat is needed. You'll die without heat. A/C is still a lux. item, and heat is not. I drove a 1977 Chevy truck with a 305 when I lived in Texas with No A/C on that truck and that also was one of the best vehicles I ever owned I drove it over 200,000 trouble-free miles before I sold it.

When I lived in the D/FW area back in the 1980's I had a great time I was 20-something and thought I had the world by the tail. The Night Clubs in the area were great. I went on a double date once with a couple from work and we rang up a dinner tab of over $100.00 at Bobby McGees night club/restaurant between the 4 of us back in 1981 and we had a hard time scraping up enough money to pay it. The girls chiped in for the tips, That was alot of money in '81. There was a nite club called "Cheers" near Six-Flags mall, a place called "Pazzaz" on Lamar ave. and nearby at Lamar & Collins close to I-30 there was a "Players" night club the place was always busy, south Cooper road we had a C&W night club with a huge lighted glass dance floor and tons of women there. That was before I got married. Then there was the Trinity jogging trail in Fort Worth one of the nicest places to run with tons of wildlife all over. There were times I felt I could run on forever, Texas has alot of wildflowers like Bluebonnets all over. There's No Place Like Texas, but Oklahoma is nice too in it's own way.[B)]
