Best description I've read in a while. I was raised there and fortunately left that hell hole more than ten years ago. I recently went back to visit family and couldn't believe it actually got worse. Sure, they have a small area downtown with restaurants and a baseball field (and think they're in the big-time, because of that), but it's surrounded by empty fields with weeds and gravel. The houses and buildings look like they haven't been painted in fifty years. It's nasty.
I overheard some douchebag talking about how Tulsa is "the new Austin" and the arts scene is second to none. I almost spit my food out laughing. The people in that town need to get out of there once in a while and actually check out other places. Instead, they happily stay in Tulsa and simmer in their own self-congratulatory jacking off with a smug look on their faces, talking about how drinking PBR "is a Tulsa thing."
I love my family, but I think I'll do them a favor and let them come visit me from now on.
