LOL PW. That's just not fair.

Yeah it's fair , because nobody said that Tulsa is a greater city or metro than Seattle , the OP just wanted some pro's and con's on either city.

Tulsa is awful. Go with Seattle.

If you can't sacrifice for a year or two to stay with a relative , especially a mother you are a ____.

Oh no!! Sorry Bill!:-)

I doubt it if Bill even been to Seattle , but I have...

Tulsa is cool if you are hugely into Bible Belt Christianity. If not, have fun. lol

There all type of people in Tulsa Those that believe in God and those that don't believe in God , folks from NYC , LA , Chicago Conservatives and Liberals so go figure...

I would choose Seattle, but I don't think Tulsa is as flat and desolate as some people would imply. I couldn't deal with the heat in Tulsa, though.

Success now that what I was trying to achieve on this thread , to believe that Tulsa has some things in it that cool and to have folks from major happening area of the country to agree with me.

Tulsa seems like a enough place, but...what the hell kind of question is this? Seattle, baby!

This is the coolest post on this thread , and should be a sort of (A BRAND For TULSA ) " TULSA seems like a enough place " , I never said that TULSA could go toe to toe " with WORLD CLASS Major/Major American Cities Like Seattle San Francisco , LA,NYC...BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A ENOUGH PLACE To ME ALSO...LOL...LOL

The elephant key worked the voice boxes at the Woodland Park Zoo. When you arrived at an attraction such as the Tiger exhibit, you'd insert the elephant Key and a voice description would play.



I seem to recall that if you presented your key, you would get a discount on the train as well.



And then of course there was Bobo & Fifi. and Stan Boreson...The Aqua Follies and 4th of July Fireworks at Greenlake.

Need I continue?
