A governmental change at city hall ,they have a Mayor that's trying to get some brand new things going in Tulsa.Tulsa is changing with some world class improvements in it's Downtown Urban Core.

Vision 2025 is a big one as well as a lot of new developments and employers like Gatorade, Coca Cola, Google, etc. In 5-10 years, it will be a whole new city. They just announced they are turning a historic high-rise into a Marriott right in the middle of downtown.

[Synopsis]

Tulsa is doing a lot of great things. It will be a different city in 5-10 years. I wish they would have taken this kind of initiative when I lived there but it was a different time then. The new arena is going to absolutely rock!

Sgrizzle. I hope you and others like you (actual Tulsa residents) keep coming back here. It's good to hear from people on the inside. Howest, you too even though you said you moved out. That includes BigOkie, NewinPrue and all of the rest!
