VISIT THIS FRI-SAT--What Should We Do??

[Johnboy976]

Broken Arrow has good schools, but the property taxes have made it no better to live there than in Tulsa... for the most part. My parents lived in BA  for five years and ended up paying more in taxes than they did in a more expensive home in Tulsa.

Tim Joyce and I carried the engine up two flights of stairs to our dorm room. The dorm father found out I had it in my room and gave me a speech about Cascia being an academic school and not an A&M and something about Aggies....

Reminds me of a line from A Clock Work Orange ... "I know you"  Try the Wine !  

Was the story better live in person than online?

[Johnboy976]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, much better online (actually, I wasn't there when it was told live). :-)

Thanks for all the posts, advice, etc. We are heading into Tulsa this AM from Joplin and looking forward to our visit!

Thanks again.

The property taxes will be higher in the 'better' school districts than in the TPS district.

Thanks all for your input. Returned safely from Tulsa on Saturday night. Were impressed and loved your weather! Looks like we may end up being "okies" after all!

PS--drove by (not intentionally) the gun show on our way out of town, we were going to stop, but...........already have a gun!

Thanks!

What all did you and the missus do while you were in town?

Hell man, you can never have enough guns...just ask David Ker....well never mind, he's dead.

Saw twelve TN member's there loading up on cheap ammo and was surprised at the special poster (rico) who was hauling a ton of 50 cal. in Radio Flyer wagon.

IMO, that show represents 9% of Tulsa.
Fitness Show wieghs in at 12%.
Memorial Day at Bells was 19%.
But Home & Garden wins out - pushing 37%.

But so yeah, what did you wind up doing here?
What was the most embarrassing event?  
And - the biggie - did you stop in at any of our fine, gambling establishments?
If so, did you hold back enough gas money to get back home?

I had to walk last week, jdb
