51st & Sheridan is considered "Midtown"?

[MichaelC]

I would call anything south of 71st, "Outer Tulsa" or "Far South Tulsa" or "The Hinterlands" or "Broken Jenxby" (BA/Jenks/Bixby).  "Oralville".

I've never written "S" on my address. But my work address is always written with an "N."

If 28th and Harvard is not midtown, does that mean I live in South Tulsa?  That makes no sense to me.  So then 91st and Riverside is what - because the area I live in certainly should not be described in the same manner as that area.  Totally different.  Some of the definitions of midtown seem to be geared towards finding $200,000 plus houses north of 51st St. "S."

Just wondering, because if 28th and Harvard is south Tulsa, and 91st and Harvard is South Tulsa... then the term is pretty worthless.

Okay, here you go...
I'm a reporter for one of the TV stations in Tulsa.  
I obviously need/have to know where to say I am at the end of my stories.
If I don't say I'm in the "correct" portion of town, then I get in BIG trouble... viewers can get pretty nasty sometimes.

None-the-less there actually IS a clearly drawn map that shows exactly where the lines are drawn to seperate different sections of town.

If you own a home, it will even be listed in your closing papers.

For instance ANYTHING East of Memorial, South of Admiral and North of 51st Street--is EAST TULSA...

Anything South of I-44/51st Street and West of Memorial is SOUTH TULSA.

Anything South of the IDL/Admiral, West of Memorial and North of I-44/51st is MIDTOWN.

North Tulsa Begins on the center line of Admiral... (Highway 244)

Downtown is surrounded by the IDL on three of it's sides. The fourth side is blocked by Admiral.

West Tulsa is easily distinguishable... you can tell you're there when you realize you must be lost.

I hope this helps!

Midtown/Southie umbilical?

That's why this question is a question.  The "South Tulsa" talked about now didn't exist 20 years ago.  There wasn't much at all south of 71st.

wow, its a good thing cities never grow huh?

THe part you left blank is midtown too.  I would extend the downtown definition slightly north of 244 as I consider OSU tulsa part of downtown as well as those neighborhoods just north of 244.  Mid town should extend further east and east tulsa should start not too far west of 169.  the part you have south of 412 should either be downtown or part of midtown.  You got the south part dead on though.

I agree with the map above, with some tiny exceptions like OSU Tulsa as being downtown, or downtownish anyway. I also have the same trouble with what to call the area South of I44 and North of 71st.  Its really pushing it to call it mid town, feels too new. But major parts of it don't really fit what I typically think of when I visualize South Tulsa either.

And I always thought that North Tulsa referred to anything north of main street. I mean, that would only make  sense, wouldn't it?

thats pretty stupid considering main st runs north-south....impossible actually.

We are such a sensitive, tactful bunch aren't we?[] lol

[YoungTulsan]

Im just trying to figure out what the nameless portions between midtown, south tulsa, and east tulsa are called.

"Greater Tulsa" perhaps?  "Central Tulsa" may look like having two different "Mid" towns.  The part of Tulsa under Union's school district can be referred to as "Union" I suppose.

Or maybe we could call this area the "Taint" (Need I say more?)

[Johnboy976]

Well since Main St. ends at one point (I dont' know, at the BOK building), it's really not that hard to figure out. But I guess it's hard to imagine that you wouldn't exemplify yourself as someone who is rude and inconsiderate. []

Main street ends at 65th Pl. North, more or less in Turley.  (Look up 6499 N. Main St. Tulsa OK in google maps if you're impaired at finding this on a map)

[Johnboy976]

Well, I was looking at a bad map. Tulsa's Main St., at one point, goes from North to South. So there is a designated point.

bad map?  it had to be a HORRIBLE map.[}:)]

Wow... well in my small little world I've lived in four states and traveled all over the world. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do.
