Where are you getting your information from? Both cities have their advantages and disadvantages but I don't think you could say either one is "Head and Shoulders" over the other. Unless you are saying OKC has dandruff...

The MAPS PROJECTS really puts OKC in front of TULSA and
with the CORE to SHORE PROJECTS and THE DEVON SUPER
TALL SKYSCRAPER PROJECT OKC is making two steps for
every step that TULSA is making with the VISION 2025....

VISION 2025.......

but I don't think you could say either one is "Head and Shoulders" over the other. Unless you are saying OKC has dandruff...
LOL....Falling Out Of My Chair..you are right "dandruff" is what
I meant..TULSA was Head and Shoulders over OKC once upon a
time and had a very severe case of BODY TEMPERTURE SNOW...
LOL....FOMC...""DANDRUFF""..LOL , but Vision 2025 just can't
keep up with CORE to SHORE and MAPS..However the FUTURE
IS UNCLEAR for both CITIES...By The Way MY PREFERENCES IS
TULSA OK....was just being honest...howest2008

One of the cities that got some votes is Stillwater. Here's a view of Stillwater's downtown area and beyond. Most obvious features on the left is the First Baptist Church and behind that is the new five story Payne County Jail. Further behind that the long white buidings are the industrial plants with the biggest one being Mercury Marine.

Moving to the right trees obscure many of the other buildings until you come upon the red one in the middle, which is the 3 story VFW building, one of the oldest buildings in downtown Stillwater. To the right are the two buildings of Stillwater Milling, and then a water tank.

Picture was snapped in a rural area just west of 44th and S. Washington St. Sometimes young couples go there to admire the view.

Film makers, oil tycoons and mozart know that Bville is the best!!

Second place is Dewey due to it's proximity to Bartlesville.
I recently read somewhere that Bartlesville is going through a building boom.

I picked Lawton because I live there and everyone counts us out. See my thread on the growth spurt Lawton is experiencing and share your thoughts.
