I've lived in Tulsa nearly my whole life and I love it here! There are terrific food, art, and social scenes that continuously expand. I truly believe that for a relatively small US city, Tulsa packs a punch. Navigating the city is very manageable due to the roads being arranged in a grid-like pattern. There's sort of a joke that you can make it anywhere in the city within 15 minutes, which is actually pretty accurate! The people are incredibly friendly, a unique combination of southern hospitality and city quirk. The public schools are unfortunately one of the city's biggest downfalls. A majority of our public schools are short-staffed and under-funded, though in my experience Tulsa is lucky to employ many teachers that are dedicated and exceptional role models. Overall, I have no qualms with having grown up here and no intention on moving away from the city any time soon!
We moved here a few months ago from Colorado, and like that people are laid back and friendly, that businesses and banks are open, and that you do not even feel there is a pandemic going on (except for masks). What we do not like and am saddened to see is that this town (and surrounding cities) do not clean the town, and there is litter everywhere! I do not understand why citizens care so little about their town as to toss garbage everywhere. The hotel we were staying at, almost every day we saw garbage strewn in the parking lot, half eaten food and drinks just tossed on the pavement. As well, the cities here do not fix or repair roads. There are huge dangerous potholes on major streets that have been there for many years. We almost ruined our car driving. What is the taxpayers' $$ going to?
It could be a great town if they cared enough to clean up.

Tulsa is a very progressive city with a wide variety of stores, entertainment, good restaurants, music, and outdoor areas. There is a diverse population with plenty of opportunities to meet and learn about other races, religions, cultures, and ideas. Tulsa has several places that offer higher education opportunities with variation in the cost of these schools. Tulsa is a beautiful city that is constantly trying to expand its abundance of parks, museums, and other fun places to visit. The area has a great zoo and a wonderful aquarium. The interstate and turnpike offer quick ways to get to almost anywhere in the city and surrounding suburbs and the airport offers a central point to fly almost anywhere. Tulsa is just a great place to be!
