Our home in Red Fork, right on Reed Park in fact, will be for sale shortly. PM me if you want info.

Don't tell me you are moving to the suburbs.  I'll cry.

Get out the tissue. [] []

I have spotted the minimobile in far south Tulsa, suspected possible defection.

[AngieB]

Busted! And I was trying to be all stealthy!!

[inteller]

actually I saw the furniture flying through the air like on the commercial.

Nothing wrong with wanting to live a better lifestyle.

I know, y'all are shackin up...

princess,

Let us know what you are looking for and we can point you in the right direction.  Do you want suburban atmosphere (South Tulsa), small town feel, denser city or "urban" (in-so much as one can get it West of the Mississippi outside a megalopolis)?  This always starts a nice debate.

Family, swinging single, just a couple?

Do you need to know things to do (Zoo is pretty good, aquarium is very nice - though neither is on par with many larger attractions but for their size and market they are very nice) - hiking, water sports, museums, shows?  

What brings you to town?

The local convenience store is indeed Quiktrip (QT), and they are omnipresent.  But they also rule.  Clean, not overpriced (considering), and staffed with professional and fast people (really, they pay employees an actual living wage... rare for a gas station).  I'm in love with Quiktrip AND their hot dogs.  They have ~500 stores from Minneapolis to Dallas.

Anyway, ask, and ye shall receive (probably more than you want).

Welcome to TulsaNow!

Wow, well I am moving to town with the Boyfriend.
I guess the subs will work. I am right now about 2 hours south of DC. I love the city but like to live outside of it.
Things to know would be nice. I am not picky. Like best place to play puttputt (*which I haven't seen in awhile*) dog parks (*we have two*) Best movie theatre in town? Best mall for shopping?
We are younger, but aren't into clubs, maybe a nice hole in the wall bar?

[AngieB]

Whatever.

Anyhooo...it's not that far...still has a W in the address.

Puttputt = Allstar sports complex, 61 & 169

Dog Park = None yet, but tons of regular parks

Best Movie Theater = Cinemark for the biggest, Circle Cinema for indy, Admiral Twin for Drive-In, Eton Square for quiet.

Best Mall = 71st for high end yuppiness, 41st for more middle of the road.

Hole In the Wall = Cellar Dweller

Wonderful!!!
What about Go Carts? I heard a rumor somewhere that Tulsa had the big place for Go Carts?

I don't think of myself as Yuppiness, so 41st will work out best!

Broken Arrow used to have a putt-putt course. Haven't been down there in a long time, but it was pretty good.

Honestly, living just west of the river, I took my dogs down the river trails. Good trail and great views of downtown, etc...

I prefer AMC Southroads 20 in midtown. They have all sorts of movies, from mainstream to indie. If you are wanting a generic cinema-plex, go to south Tulsa's cinemark.

For obscure and indie movies, the Circle Cinema is also a good bet. Lots of film festivals held there.

Can't help you there. I go to Promenade, because it is closer to me and has everything I need. Woodland is larger, but I hate the area that it is in.

Downtown has plenty of both. Every part of town has bars, but downtown has a mix of styles to cater to nearly every mood. Sometimes we go dancing, sometimes we go just to drink. But regardless of what I want to do, I know that I can go downtown and do it.

Any Jimmy Buffett type places?

No no, There is a Cheeseburge in Paradise in OKC. Although trust me I wouldn't mind going to Key West.

71st is not Yuppi really at all.  It is nicer than the mall at 41st, but nothing over the top by any means.  All your standard crap (Dillard's,  Express, Bath and Body, etc. etc).  Utica Square has some more pricey items (Saks, Coach, etc.) but 71st is just a mall.

Most of Tulsa would seem like a suburb of DC.  Just depends on HOW suburban you want to get. []

Dog parks!  Funny you brought it up, for some reason Tulsa doesn't have one!  Not ONE!  Do you have two dog parks where you live... or two dogs (I have 2 dogs)?

At 41st and Yale there are two theaters, an AMC theater and one in the mall.  The AMC one is better, but both are stadium seating THX etc.  They rarely have competing movies so I end up at one or the other.

I don't putt putt really (The PGA championship was in town last year on a course I've actually played on though!).  Not aware of any spectacular go carts, but I've never looked.
