I have to ask why the racial demographics of Owasso aren't reflected in this video? Why are all of the shots of white people? This is subtle (and not so subtle) racism.
Don't let this video fool you. It very much is still a bedroom community of Tulsa. I like Owasso, spent most of a couple of years living in the Candlewood Estates motel while working at Tulsa International. The fact is though if the jobs fail in Tulsa, Owasso is closing those strip malls.
They talk about not wanting to confuse the public but they'll be confusing more people by making these small, incremental changes every week or two versus just dropping the ban hammer down on the town, all at once, so that people know that the officials are taking it seriously. Then there would be no mistaking and no confusion surrounding the inability of people to travel around in droves. Despite what the councilman said, people in Owasso are NOT taking this seriously at all. People have been assaulted, coughed at, coughed on, and the police response has been very antagonistic towards those trying to protect themselves. As for the Chief of Police claiming that crime would go up should they try to enforce these measures - that's complete malarkey. Crime in every major city across the US has dropped dramatically since the implementation of severe 'shelter in place' orders. San Francisco has seen a 25% drop in crime. But it's clear the police aren't taking this seriously either because their responses to the biological assaults that are taking place are tepid, to put it nicely, and downright antagonistic, to put it harshly. If the chief of police thinks that Owasso can't enforce the rule of law, then he needs to be replaced.
Completely agree Ryan...The huge city of Owasso is the first place to consider a shelter in place order. No other cities or states have thought of such an unenforceable, crime increasing, law enforcement burden of an order. People please listen to science and scientists. The doctor was as clear as a bell pointing out the scientifically produced models, giving his expert opinion and what does the council do...let’s just educate people. The doctor just educated the council and what difference did that make.
This meeting was literally pointless. You're going to be there in two to three weeks mandating a shelter in place (like tulsa's) because you're too afraid to do it today, and people are going to suffer for it. "Increased education" is going to do jack. How is it every other state that's declared shelter in place orders have somehow been able to enforce them, but the rocket scientists in the owasso city council can't seem to figure it out. Dr. Dart was incredibly clear in his message, YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO HIM! FOLLOW TULSA'S LEAD
Lets not leave out the amount of horrible roads. Potholes, cracks, uneven railroad crossings (116th by funtastic island and 106th and 97th). When will the Garnett widening project be done? Garnett is absolutely horrible. Also, there needs to be recreational activities. Not everyone wants to watch movies, bowl, and roller skate. I only go into Owasso to shop and grab a bite to eat, I’ll stay in Collinsville for now.
Just watched this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x8XOVL7F5zw.html How could you expect someone to get back to you in just a few hours? I am not allowed to make phone calls at work.
I miss Collinsville and I miss Owasso but I still go to Collinsville schools still go to Owasso Walmart it's amazing I would thank Owasso for giving me the things I love the most
I lived in Oklahoma all my life and I had to move away from Collinsville and then to Tulsa and I would always go to Owasso Walmart to get groceries with my mom
iSquamata Tulsa IS a boring place. The people there are extremely rude to many diverse people, including myself. In owasso, everyone is so nice and there is so much stuff to do. I love it here, so if you don’t like Owasso, than kee your opinions to yourself 🤷🏽♀️
this was an amazing video which showed me alot more than i ever have learned about Owasso Oklahoma.. who would of thought how much the community has thrives over the years! such a beautiful place
Let's start with how many times they showed their city golf course. I counted zero! However, they did show a private club way out of town that only a few will ever step foot on. THEY DIDN'T SHOW THEIR OWN ONE TIME. How many parking lot and traffic shots did you see during the video compared to natural beauties and places of relaxation. Yeah, that ratio is a lot to a little. Then we got to finally hear Rodney Ray explain the goal of this "City of Character" of ours. It had something to do with investors making as much profit or return on their investment in the next 20 years as the previous 20. SAY WHAT! A city of character should be one of family values, parks, playgrounds, jogging trails, not hoards of people in what used to be a wonderful place to live. It's not bad now, but it is going south. This used to be an awesome place. It's the new Broken Arrow now. Yeah, that's what we want to be. Just like 71st Street. Mmmm good fun there!
Owasso, notice the word ass in that right? that sums it all up on a good day if i had to stay in a nazi occupied extermanation camp or owasso id take aushwitz any day of the week
Kudos to the Owasso Chamber of Commerce, Owasso City Planning, Tulsa County & the great business leaders helping to bring this great city into the 21st century and sharing this story about our growth.
A suggestion for the next video. Put more time in talking about Rejoice Christian School. I went there and it was the best years of my life. Also, on the Indian Culture. Being that mostly people who live here are Indian. We are proud of our heritage and put it in place with other things
