Tulsa, Not OKC, Is Getting a Hard Rock

[In_Tulsa]

I have alot of friend in Dallas and next time they come to Oklahoma they will stay at the Hard Rock NOT for the casino but for the hotel. You have to remember the Hard Rock Hotel will be a big draw not just the casino alot of people will stay at the hotel and go to the hard rock store but never step foot in the casino.

In Tulsa, does this mean you don't have a story link on the cafe?

I have alot of friend in Dallas and next time they come to Oklahoma they will stay at the Hard Rock NOT for the casino but for the hotel.

And not because it is a Hard Rock and not in a Tulsa hotel.

Exactly.

[In_Tulsa]

I do not have a link just watch it will be here next year!!
I can't tell you how I know but I can tell you there is only one Hard Rock casino with a Hard Rock Cafe in it all the others are just outside and it is not as big of a deal as the Hard Rock Hotel. See there is no Hard Rock Hotel in Dallas thats why they will stay there and if you have not stayed at a Hard Rock Hotel you NEED to even if it's not Tulsa's.

[Steve]

Look, I don't want to get into a flame war here and I think you can acknowledge I've been pretty friendly here. But there's a big difference between saying it's a fact that that a cafe is coming, which is what I've picked up from you, versus "I'm an anonymous poster who has special information that nobody else has and you just need to believe me."
So there is no announced deal for a Hard Rock Cafe in Tulsa or at the casino.
Thanks for clearing this up.

An announcement is coming soon!!! By the end of the year. It should be open by the end of July 2010. They are trying to get it open by July 4th. Will see. Oh I can say on the Opening a BIG name will be there??

[Steve]

In Tulsa, I'm not trying to tear you down and it's great if that all comes to pass. But I'm a bit jaded after seeing all the reports and promises involving The American.

[In_Tulsa]

Steve when it opens will you came and eat at the cafe? By the way I know nothing about the American

[Steve]

Tell you what, In Tulsa: if the Hard Rock Cafe opens there, I will definitely find the time to travel up there and meet you for lunch. I'm sincere about this.

Sounds Good. This will make news soon.

OK, I took a trip over to The Tulsa Forum by TulsaNow - Index. First, okcpulse, no stranger here at OKC Talk, makes the case for the two cities working together:

I'll never go after that doosh Cornett made his comments.

I'm waiting for OKCPulse the Houstonian to chime in.


LOL ... first, never ever ever ever call me a Houstonian. And second, I think I am worn out on the Tulsa vs. OKC rivalry. We are what we are, Oklahomans. I have noticed lately that, through the accomplishments of each city, OKC and Tulsa will continue to challenge each other by raising the bar in their own cities. As long as the competition stays heated, each city will continue to become better places to live and work.

My wife and I have family in both places and I love visiting both cities each year we go back. Tulsa feels like a second home now, OKC is my original home, and right now I am islanded in Houston.

The facts are these OKC is a cowtown it always had been and always will be. The NBA team was going to be called the Oklahoma City Cowpokes but there mayor said no.

In Tulsa, the above posts, combined with this thread, give the appearance you're trying to pit the two cities against each other. How is this not trolling? How is this constructive in any way? How does this move the state forward? Do you see any good resulting from your comments?

Thank you steve!!!!!!!

When I was growing up in OKC, I heard from many outsiders that OKC was just a big, overgrown cowtown? I do notice that the city has made many strides in making itself a more desirable, cosmopolitan city. OKC does have Devon, Chesapeake etc...which help the city tremendously from a philanthropic standpoint. The biggest issue OKC needs to address is overall, the city is not the most cleanest and to be quite honest a wee bit on the dirty side. I hope it gets addressed but until then, I have to side with Tulsa on being the more geographically and topographically and more physically attractive city. I do also have to say that I believe Tulsa does have alot of envy towards OKC because it continues to grow and add more things where Tulsa is a bit on the slow side in growing and does not have the effective leadership that OKC does.

What I posted on TulsaNow has nothing to do with what I was talking about here I was just trying to tell you guys about Hard Rock in Tulsa. On Tulsa Now I posted on what I think about OKC and thats that.

OK, I took a trip over to The Tulsa Forum by TulsaNow - Index.

I'm sorry you had to wade into that cesspool of a forum.

That's that. I guess so. I'll take that as meaning "no, there's nothing constructive to be gained from what you've been saying."

If there were something constructive to be gained, something to show you weren't just trying to pit the two cities against each other, I'd imagine you would have educated us as to what it was.

I feel sorry for anyone who books a hotel room there, I am sorry to break it to you, but that Indian casino hotel has horribly decorated rooms, at least for my taste. It reminds me of a Holiday Inn blended with an OLD Radisson.

[In_Tulsa]

I don't remember saying anything bad about OKC on the post do you? I don't see how I'm trying to turn OKC against Tulsa. Just talking about Hard Rock but I will tell you this I think it's crap how OKC has suck sour grapes about Tulsa getting a Hard Rock. OKC is about 300,000 people bigger then Tulsa that's not much. If you took the population of Tulsa metro out of OKC you would have a metro of less then 300,000 WOW!! Now if you took the population of OKC metro out of Dallas metro you would have a population in Dallas of just over 5 MILLION people now that's a big difference. You guys can talk all you want about Hard Rock being run by the Indians but at the end of the day everyone everywhere will only know of the Hard Rock Tulsa and most people don't even know OKC has an NBA team most people know as much about OKC NBA as they do Tulsa's NFL team. I hope this does not make you mad but this whole big brother little brother is so funny because most people from out of state know more about Tulsa then OKC check any boards they always have more pictures of DT Tulsa then DT OKC. I'm sure you guys hate me now but these are the facts I'm not saying any thing that is not true. Now I will say I like to go to OKC sometimes it's a nice town Now when your metro hits over 4 Million you will be a major city. But by that time Tulsa will be at 3.7 Million. Anyway I just started this the other day to tell you about the Hard Rock and it turned into this I think this is the biggest post I have ever left anywhere

I'm not big on the Hard Rock Hotel or brand, but in fairness, the rooms were remodeled and look like standard Hard Rock Hotel rooms to me:

In Tulsa.

How old are you? 13?

Before you come to the Oklahoma City forum again, posting wild and unsubstantiated numbers, tossing out statements that say more about how uneducatated you are than they do about the postives of your home town, and generally behaving as though you are some hyper-active child in dire need of ritalin, here's a tip:

Use basic grammar and proper sentence structure. And.....learn to spell.
