Oklahoma Advice Needed
I have an offer for a great job based in Oklahoma, and am in need of advice from those who know the state. I would likely be able to live in either OKC or Tulsa. From my very limited knowledge, it seems like Tulsa is a prettier place overall, but I suppose OKC has its' benefits too.
I have 2 kids, ages 7 & 10, so schools will play an important part in the decision. I've lived in KC most of my life, so any comparisons/contrasts there would be appreciated. Thanks! Last edited by hawkchief; 04-17-2007 at 05:30 PM.. |

I live near Tulsa and I much prefer it to OKC. It is easy to get around in because whoever named the streets was a genious. Starting with Main street a street with the name of a western city indicates you are west of main. And they are in alphabetical order as well. Going west it is Boulder, Cheyenne, Denver, etc. Going east it is Boston, Cncinnati, Detroit, etc. Also, Tulsa is barely 100 years old so you don't see many old dilapidated buildings. OKC and Tulsa are almost exactly the same population. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I've been to both places and with kids... I would prefer Tulsa. It just looks cleaner to me with as much or more things to do.

Thanks, Skip. As a fellow Jayhawk, are you able to get the hoops games during the season?
Also, what parts of Tulsa are preferable to live? Thanks. |

If you are into HS football, Jenks is one of the better programs in the nation year in and year out. Also, another observation, if you are planning on watching KC on network broadcast, go to Tulsa. The OKC media opted out of showing somewhere around 6-7 games. I think all were showed in Tulsa.

I would imagine you have a better chance of seeing Chiefs games on local broadcast TV in Tulsa.
Tulsa is a more "artsy fartsy" (like KC) where OKC is more of a cowtown. They both have their qualities. My choice would be Tulsa
