How did OKC get so much more pride than Tulsa?

A few projects on the boards for OKC  Looks like there is a lot of developement activity coming on line for the city.

March has been a good month so far for Okc. The most recent (Thursday past) was described in this one: http://dougdawg.blogspot.com/2008/03/march-madness.html , also described here: http://www.okctalk.com/okc-metro-area-talk/12345-devon-plans-downtown-skyscraper.html

OKC developed their Bricktown and they have the funds to take care of it. They weren't trying to put a project on the stinkiest part of a polluted river.

That's the difference.

I think Tulsa has gotten tired of projects that always end up costing us more than predicted - like the jail, arena.... we just can't afford to pay for yet another white elephant right now.

Stupid remark. Okay, at least poorly informed. Thanks for reminding me of that Tulsa spirit.
