and for the record, Oolagah is not in metro Tulsa, its 30 miles away, you have to go through 2 seperate towns to get there.

Technically Will Rogers wasn't born in EITHER town... He was born before they were actual (incorporated) towns. But it is accepted that he was born in Oologah even though he claimed Claremore as his birthplace.

Seeing we are being all technical about it, Oolagah lies in Rogers County, the County where Will was born. Rogers County is a major component of the Tulsa MSA and is a member of INCOG (Indian Nation Council of Governments) along with Tulsa, Creek, Osage and Wagoner. So technically (it can be called either way) Will Rogers home place (currently lying UNDER Oolagah Lake) is in the Tulsa MSA, making it a Tulsa location.

Member Governments (http://www.incog.org/AboutINCOG/MemberGovernments.html - broken link)

Default James (Quick) Tillis A Heavyweight Boxing Contender...

James "Quick" Tillis from Tulsa is another person that should (hands
down) have a "Street' or "Blvd" named after him , remember him he's
the one that took Iron Man Mike to the limit in a Heavyweight Match.
