I actually enjoy hearing about other cities.
Sure, threads shouldn't focus on other cities entirely, but I think we can learn a lot from other cities. Obviously, when we were building our canal we spoke with city leaders in San Antonio. We learned from their mistakes and capitalized on their successes. As we look at other cities, the same strategy can be used.

Omaha Cowboy, Yes, I can see how that might feel a little unwelcominging - I know I speak for many when I say Welcome to OKC Omaha Cowboy ....we look forward to your input and getting to know you.

Thank you..

I appreciate it!..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Well it is time for the truth OKC is a nice city Tulsa is a nice city I do live in Tulsa and I do enjoy going to OKC. Now it's nice to meet all of you. I say we work together to make this state GREAT with two hot cities. I hope to post good news about Tulsa and I hope to read good news about OKC from all of you I look forward to getting to know all of you. In_Tulsa

Excellent!!

Great to finally meet the real you. Thanks for realizing your "faults" and joining us with the renaissance.

Hopefully, you could spread the word up in Tulsa that we in OKC want to work together and together make our state number 1. We on this forum know it is the cities that will make us prosperous. And without a doubt, in Oklahoma - it will be Oklahoma City and Tulsa! as long as we fight (or Tulsa refuses to work with us), Tulsa and Oklahoma will suffer. Proof is already there!

But, if we can move forward; hold hands (more or less), and patronize and celebrate each other! Well then, that is the start to a wonderful relationship that should be beneficial for the state as a whole!

(I know this and I dont even live in OKC anymore). But it is great to meet you, hope you will contribute positive (or at least constructive if it is negative) info and concerns.

Take care, welcome, and Continue the Renaissance.

Karried-

I can appreciate that..But 7 posts into this thread, without ANY insults or unfriendly jabs of ANY kind, the above poster submitted the above quoted comment..

It kind of makes you feel a little more than a bit unwelcome around here..

..Ciao..LiO....Peace

Oh, Im sure you are more than welcome here, Omaha Cowboy!

Im from Seattle and have been welcome ever since I received the invite from Patrick to join (and even before that in the 1990s when I met Patrick, mranderson, Keith, etc at the Oklahoman MAPS forum).

Although I was born and raised in OKC, Ive been living in Seattle for 15 years now, so the PAC NW is definitely home now. But, I hold a nice heart for OKC as does many others up here in Seattle (especially those from OKC). I like to post to learn about what's going on and contribute anything I can to progress in OKC.

I might be a little more liberal than most on the forum, but I always feel welcome that they at least read and consider my ideas, as they are great ideas. Maybe not always practical for OKC - ok, I agree with that.

But I do feel welcome when I return to visit OKC and on this forum; and hope you do too.

Continue the Renaissance!

Thank you Hot Rod!..

I'll do my best to continue the Renaissance from here in the 'Big O' (Omaha)!..

I have been to OKC many times..Tulsa as well..Both are fine cities and compare very much to my hometown of Omaha..

I will provide my view of OKC here very soon in a future post!..

That would be great! We'd love to hear your opinion as on outsider! Feel free to be honest and present the negative with the positive. Most of what you say we'll probably agree with you on.
