The 100th Anniversary of Crosbie Heights becoming an offcial neighborhood is
Saturday, Aug. 23 -

The Block Party to celebrate the Centennial of perhaps the oldest neighborhood in Tulsa. There’ll be cops and firetrucks, and bouncy castles and politicians and hot dogs and Cave House facts and memories of the past and visions of the future. Please come by, I’ll even throw a Veggie Burger on the grill for you. 2-7pm at 304 S. Nogales (test your pronunciation knowledge of this one with the old-timers).

If the party ain’t enough for you, get your kitsch on for the Dolly Parton look-a-like party
over at the VFW Local Post 577, Uptown Lounge. 1109 E 6th St in Tulsa at 7PM.
This will be a really fun event. No cover charge – free food.

Hop to It!

When I was little my grandma and grandpa lived in a duplex on Nogales. I know how they pronounced it. And it wasn't like the city in Arizona. [Smiley]

No "a" sound at all. Just Nogles.

This might have gone off better if... People in the neighborhood would have been notified. I mean I didn't see this post until the day of. Just a little idea for 25 years from now when it turns 125.

I saw publicity for it. The M.e.t. even had a table passing out propaganda there on Saturday.

Sorry you missed it. It is a cool, funky little part of Tulsa that deserves a little more attention.

Well my point wasn't that other people didn't know about it, I live on Olympia, no mailer, I don't watch TV and I don't go M.E.T. Living in the area (1 block south and west) you would have thought.... well I think my point is a bit better now.

I am sorry you missed it.

I heard about it at the Crosbie Heights neighborhood meeting the month before and saw information about it posted at the grocery store. I live 12 miles away and yet have been to the store a couple of times.

You don't go to neighborhood association meetings nor shop at the local store two blocks from your house, yet you go online to a public forum and complain that you were not notified.

Might I recommend that you take some responsibilty for becoming active and telling your neighbors next time?
