No wonder we have so many problems now. There used to be so much for kids of all ages. Now its splash parks, no more go carts, only one putt putt place left, only one water park, no Bells, no dance clubs, my hometown saddens me. This brought tears of joy to my eyes.

I was born in Pawhuska in '61 but, due to my parents' divorce my mom took me and my brother and sister to live in Okmulgee, where much of her family was. I grew up in that area and graduated from Okmulgee HS in '79. We were in Tulsa a lot....Bell's Amusement Park (loved that place...spent a lot of time there as a teen), Tulsa State Fair, Ice Oilers, Golden Hurricane, Drillers, the Zoo and so much more. My 1st wife and I moved to Tulsa (she was from Tulsa....went to Union High School)in '82 and our 2 daughters were born there and we stayed until '91 when we moved to Missouri. My mom is now 80 and she has lived in Tulsa many years now, along with my baby brother (who is in his mid 40s lol) and his wife. Tulsa has always been a special place for our family. I now am remarried nut, I live far away from Okmulgee (my sister and her husband still live there...she never left once we moved there in the mid '60s), Tulsa...hell the whole State of Oklahoma, or even Missouri (where our youngest daughter and her family live....Columbia MO....she never left once we moved to MO in '91), or California (our oldest daughter and her family live in LA now)....just make that the USA lol. I married a Brit and now live in the UK and have been here nearly 20 years now. Talk about instant culture shock lol. I love Oklahoma...still watch the Sooners...still and always will. You know the old saying...you can take the boy out of Oklahoma.........and then lose him in an entirely different Country lmao. BOOMER!

It IS sad to see what's become of certain parts of town, but there's MANY people to blame, it's just part of letting a part of town get infiltrated by bad people & Code Enforcement ignoring them.

Not sure what all the negative nostalgia is about. I've been in Tulsa since 2000 and seen nothing but positive growth. Maybe some of the older folks are suffering from revisionist history? As far as people being larger in this day and age, that's hardly a problem isolated to Tulsa. Perhaps those expressing negativity towards modern day Tulsa are really expressing disappointment in the way their own lives have turned out.

[@BF6ct]

If you were in an environment where the majority of the makeup didnt look like you, then you would have a different perspective. Dont make a general statement regarding people when you are totally ignorant to their point of view. If you didnt know, thats a main component of diversity. Dont let your one-dimensional Tulsa mentality shine.

[@ChuckHickl]

@@BF6ct Easy there big fella. I was just responding to the comments regarding Tulsa in general. All cities have their issues with the under privileged and Tulsa has done more than its fair share to care for those folks. It's why Tulsa is a magnet for the homeless, they know that we have services that will provide for them. As for your comment regarding one-dimensional Tulsa mentality, I can only speak to my experience of being around successful people of all religions, race, color, ethnicity and creed. Your comment seems to me to be one-dimensional. We can't do for those who won't do for themselves, I wish you luck with that line of thinking.

Tulsa has a great numbers of things, for all of us to live, love, be entertained, & grow. The BAD THING about Tulsa is this. The Street Department doe NOT know what "Flat & Smooth" means.The Orange Cone Company rents orange cones & there are millions of them in Tulsa. The Orange Cone Company makes way too much money & they shouldn't be a part of Tulsa's culture, but they are.
