Is it True that Tulsa OK. is Poor and Backward (Oklahoma City: school districts, universities)

[Honeybee]

We are looking into Broken Arrow and Jenks areas also .We understand that there will be those who are backwards but you get that in any state .We loved Tulsa area .I have 3 friends that all left Ca. to move to OK. 1 in Broken Arrow 1 , in Bartelsville ,1 in Shilom Springs 2 of them have been there for more then 3 yrs, now and the other one is almost 1 yr, now they all love it and say the will never move back to Ca. only visit there .So I am sure we will all love it as well there . Thank you for you response .

I just moved away from Oklahoma. I was raised in Sand Springs, a suburb of Tulsa. I would give my back teeth to be back there!

Tulsa is a wonderful town, large, but not too large. It's easy to learn your way around there quickly. There's a massive undertaking to make the city even more beautiful and culturally diverse. There are trees and grass and lakes and parks and fantastic people.

And now I'm making myself long for home again, so I'll stop. Like Synopsis, I am fairly well-traveled. I was brought up and educated in Sand Springs, and I don't think I'm much worse for it!

Like many people have said, there's good and bad everywhere. "Backwards" people can be found in every city. That's what happens, I guess, when you throw free will into the mix!

Home is where your heart is, and Oklahoma is and shall always be home to me.

He really does hit below the belt though. He's SO rude.

He's going under Manhattan-ite now, and he's already after me. And Synopsis.

i'm not so sure about that sooner. manhattan-ite has posted quite a bit about you guessed it, manhattan. i thought the person you are referring to lived in texas? if you go to his/her post history you can see what im talking about.

[Manhattan-ite]

I am NOT that person you think I am, Sooner. I live in Manhattan, New York. Obviously. I post a lot about Manhattan. Obviously. I kind of knew you were not "fairly well-traveled", but it's OK, as in "Oklahoma is OK", you know what I mean.

I despise Texas and I give intelligent, information-filled answers, not bashing for bashing's sake. You're dead wrong.

Sallybell, your answers are similar to my answers, as in the one to the Englishwoman who's moving to Tulsa and asks about walking in the city and not having a car. You told her, "yes, you need a car". I told her, "yes, you need a car". Because Tulsa is not a walkable city. And yet these fanatics of marketing prey on me like I'm some kind of terrorist while not saying a word about you.

What is with this selective hatred?

You tell me, the Englishwoman asks about walking and a car and this Synopsis member posts a huge picture of the Gilcrease museum! What's that for? Why don't we focus on the question asked?

About the thread: Tulsa is not poor, at all (although it has its pockets of poverty as every city in the world, and a big growing problem with meth and meth addicts).

Backward (defined as "anti progressive, slow in intellectual development")? Definitely! And proudly so.

Please keep on topic and avoid personal remarks. Thank you.

That's too funny.

I did the "Find Your Spot" quiz and it brought up Tulsa. I don't think I will move to Tulsa on an online quiz's suggestin but what is Tulsa like?

The thing that would flip me out about OK is the tornadoes!

Well, then, my bad. Apologies.

Well I was raised in Broken Arrow...moved to Parker Colorado..very ritzy state BTW...making 70 grand a year...so I would say not all of us are backwards...and just cause we live in Oklahoma does not mean we are poor and missing teeth.
