Tulsa Overview | An informative introduction to Tulsa, Oklahoma 

Lol. Now you know 😂

Me too 😂

The Paris of Oklahoma

Chandler thing 😂 same here lol

And I'm here because of Tulsa king.

Yeah it surprised me too!

Tulsa is like a rich people town. Barely any walking space on the roads. Real rich people live in the deep south of Tulsa , while the poor and homeless thrive around Admiral Flea Market central , West Tulsa ( Sand Springs ) and of course 61st and S. Peoria ( the new North Tulsa ) if you get my drift. The city has potential but it needs some serious industrial development and progressive programs. Too many homeless people from Arkansas ( i may add ).

Hey buddy we’re not all monkeys, Tulsa has class compared to other more populated cities, it’s still feels like home here.🖕🏼💯

@@ssamhenry65 tulsa is a vinyard for rich texans

Back in the historic old days, a lot of cities had money and were able to afford very expensive elaborate buildings. These days, it’s probably less likely since a lot of cities aren’t as prominent as they used to be.

Thanks for another kind comment! I always greatley appreciate it. I've also become a fan of art deco over the past few years and was surprised to see how much there was in Tulsa. It's a great city!

Tulsa over OKC anytime.

"As Oklahoma’s second city, Tulsa is always in the shadow of Oklahoma City." -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, there's a number of reasons for that. As Tulsa is my hometown I rather think that's good. Tulsa has not yet been "discovered" by the national media like Okla. City has. The press refers to Tulsa as "Tulsa Oklahoma" (instead of just Tulsa), as if some clueless joe might think Tulsa was some small town in Alaska or New Hampshire. In our culture, when you've got a good thing going, as Tulsa has, it's best to keep quiet and out of the spotlight. 🙂

@@kenthompson5723 there is a lot of truth in your statements, but people should know that there was a time back in the late 1970s-mid 1980s when Tulsa overshined OKC in many ways (never in population) that outsiders would think Tulsa was the largest city. Of course, OKC has exploded in the last 25 years and since the mid 1990s acts like other major cities, but there is no denying that Tulsa is a hidden gem (bigger isn't always better) and Oklahoma is lucky to have two cities. I ahve to mention, your skyline images of OKC are about 10+ years old.

That’s interesting! I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the comment!

You mean people weren't having kids so they imported them ?

Hello my name is abigail by the name am from Tulsa Oklahoma it's nice to meet you

You’re welcome!! Thanks for subscribing!

Lol who cares

Yeah as much as I like drone footage of city’s, I prefer to experience them on the street level as well. Thanks for the comment!

@@CityGeek Thank you! Perhaps you can make a video of Tulsa's downtown at street level. You might consider coming to Middelburg so that you can experience urban bliss.

@@marcelmoulin3335 Unfortunately, Tulsa is pretty hostile like many cities in the US for anyone not in a car - even downtown. I walk or bike to get around most days and many streets even in fairly central Tulsa don't have any ped infrastructure at *all*. Though, it is a bit better than some nearby cities, such as OKC, Wichita, and Kansas City.

Thank you! Yeah that park is amazing!

Yeah it’s an incredibly sad and shameful chapter in the city’s history. In case you were wondering, it’s not included in this video because it doesn’t fall within the scope of “why is the city here?” which is the question I’m trying to answer when discussing the history. Thanks for the comment.

there is a good museum there called Greenwood Rising.

Thank you!

The whole state is underrated. We're better then most state's. But that's a blessing too

Thank you!! And thanks for those video recommendations! I’ll definitely be doing one on Pittsburgh sometime soon.

Yeah it’s definitely an overlooked city hit that’s cool that you just came across it in your atlas! Thanks for the comment!

Tulsa is rich in history. The old oil capital of the world

Thank you!! 🙏

Not true. More then a weekend worth to do

Sounds like you lack imagination. I lived in Tulsa for over 30 years. There is always a lot to do. I love being a tourist in my own city.

​@@charleswillams9501over a week for me

Thank you! Don't worry it's on the list. I just want to do a good job with Houston so it may be a few more months.

Thank you!! 🙏

same!

is the south part of the city safe to live with family?

Why

It’s in Oklahoma in the USA

It's cheaper by the airport like all city's. But 66th west is on the other side of downtown. It's cheaper in all of Tulsa and state compared to almost all of the rest of America outside of Mississippi Arkansas and maybe Louisiana

Why wouldn’t you? Some insights would really help. Thanks.

@@fazeelraza5215 Racist, homophobic, and toxic Christian people

@@fazeelraza5215 I like it just not the people

Tulsa has alot of oil people

Agreed. We're full. No need to move here.

Dude, houses are so cheap over there, come on

Lol I think she does actually

Cope and beg for more corporate leftovers in your golden age lol

@@Hex-Mas👍

That happens every day in Chicago Baltimore Philly and LA... happened once in Tulsa and you're making a big deal out of it?

What? What about everything they showed in the video? Not to mention all the lakes, the brady art district, Tulsa Zoo, Riverparks, Cains ballroom, Hard Rock CAsino, Riverspirit, Woodward park, The best acts in the world come to The BOK center and i could go on and on. Name a city its size with more to see.

Absolutely!!! Jenks has the best schools, IMO, and that's where my kids graduated. Tulsa Public Schools are horrible and getting worse, if that's possible. The Tulsa Mayor, G.T. Bynum has only one focus and that's Greenwood/BLM restitutions. Our roads are falling apart daily and the police department is grossly understaffed. Broken Arrow is a great community, as is Glenpool, Sand Springs and Owasso. All have excellent school systems. Beggars on the street corners everywhere in Tulsa, which Tulsa deemed legal "with a reflective vest". Homelessness and mental health care are nonexistent. Tulsa USED to be a fantastic place to live. The past 5 years have proven it to be just another inner city, high crime area with no accountability...... and it's boring.

@@judywallace1681jenks sucks, broken arrow is the best

Why would you want to encourage homelessness.. that's what California has done and look where they are.

Cope. And he lost lol
