That was the first year I set foot in SF too! I was a young squirt and all I remember were lots and lots of interesting looking guys in either tight jeans or tight jeans with leather chaps and they all used some method to highlight their "family jewels," and they all had mustaches, ha ha, think the "Village People" look.
Yesh I saw a whole lot of Village People in San Francisco
CALIFORNIA.

Quaint and funky, anything unique and quirky - that is what they avoid.

So, NEXT time I am in Tulsa, I will be sure to let you know!

The ORU area was creepy. I felt as though I had landed in another country.....No. Make that planet.

totally let me know, I'll give you tons of suggestions. Tulsa is growing and its amazing. So many new great restaurants (locally owned, obviously ) art galleries, live music venues, shops, parks, etc. The revitalization of Tulsa over the last 10-15 years is astounding! My sister, who is a total liberal hippy, left Tulsa for Portland the day after she graduated high school. She hated it here. But now when she comes back to visit she is pleasantly surprised by all the progress.

It's why we have 3.2 beer/no alcohol sales on Sunday, past 9PM, or refrigerated, the strictest marijuana laws in the nation, and a legislature that thinks the most important issue facing the state during a billion dollar budget shortfall is a Ten Commandments monument. I think the best cities are moderate cities that are friendly to both liberals and conservatives. While I am liberal, San Francisco is very one-sided in the opposite political direction compared to OKC. I wouldn't have an issue living there but its best when people of different political and religious persuasions can co-exist.
The bolded part is not true and based on other forums you participate in, I know you know that. The persistence of our backward liquor laws has everything to do with the distributer lobbies trying to maintain the status quo. Regardless that should be a moot point in a few months when it gets on the ballot.

So you would rather live in a city like Charlotte that you constantly champion as a tolerant, progressive place when they just passed major anti-LBGTQ laws? Every city has it's idiots, it isn't fair to label OKC as having an extreme right wing majority when it doesn't. The state, maybe, but not the city.

She was Jerking everybody in Oklahoma around.

She moved from San Francisco to Sacramento CA didn't like Sacramento and decided to move back home to her family in the Washington DC metro area.

She never had any intentions of moving out to Oklahoma.

Oral Roberts was pretty hideous too.


" Roberts has stated in a fund-raising appeal letter and on television that unless he raises a total of $8 million above regular ministry expenses by next month, he will die.


“…God said, ‘I want you to use the ORU medical school to put My medical presence in the earth. I want you to get this going in one year or I will call you home!’” Roberts says he received this message last March."

Pretty sad when your own God threatens to smite you if you don't come up with some $$.
