We would have skipped Tulsa altogether if we knew what we would find.
After paying a $4 toll for the privilege of driving on their crappy highway we arrived in Tulsa. Several things came together to make us dislike this city, chief of which was our unnervingly close proximity to Oral Roberts University. Then there were the signs at the river front park warning us that undercover agents were liable to be around in disguises looking for suspicious activity (like, perhaps, two adults hanging out in what looks to be a drug smuggling van and faintly whimpering).
More funny than anything was the well intended but highly ironic "Up with Trees" signs made out of wood, posted on every block.
On the bright side it snowed but didn't stick and we got to watch the heart wrenchingly sad but beautifully done documentary called "Bully" which had me sobbing in the above mentioned parking lot.
Dear Mr. George Strait, in response to your song "Tell me something bad about Tulsa" ....
