A hellhole. I would not spend any time in the whole state.

tulsa as a vacation destination doesn't have a lot to offer imo.
the eastern part of oklahoma is beautiful. for outdoorsy stuff eastern OK is great. fishing, rafting, hiking.
if you're going for a couple of days i say go for the journey and experience. no reason to spend a lot of time there.

ATX used to be a great town. unfortunately a ton of other people think that also. imo, traffic there rivals LAX only on a smaller scale. when i overnight there for work we stay right off I-10 where it crosses the colorado river. i've seen it look like a parking lot at 2am more than just occasionally. ATX has a ton of great restaurants, local food, beer, etc, but plan to be quite frustrated getting anywhere. unless you are staying near downtown and can walk everywhere, then it's awesome, but rooms are expensive.

about 2 years ago i asked my wife if she'd like to move back there. she used to live in ATX, i was living in dallas when we met. after going back to visit friends about a year ago we both agreed that there is no way we'd want to live there. way to crowded, way to political.

since you live in BC i really don't think you'll find anything in either place that will beat what all y'all have up there, it'll just be different.

I go to Tulsa a lot for work, but not personal. Work-wise, the downtown area has changed a bit over the past several years. There are some decent restaurants and usually some type of local live event on the weekends. If you like BBQ, there is a place called Burn Co that is very good.

I've ran along the river near downtown but it was under construction a few months back so was limited in distance. There is a place called Turkey Hill Park (pretty sure that is the name) that co workers have told me has good trail running and mountain biking. If you like to golf, there is a local course called La Fortune that is a quick play and really cheap.

The Doubletree and the Hyatt have the best hotel gyms.

This. Spend very little time there if possible.

They don't call it a "flyover" state for nothing.

I live in Stillwater, which is about an hour away. I moved here on July 21 of this year for work. It is not as bad as I thought it would be. I've only been to Tulsa once (to race), so I can't tell you more - but Oklahoma is not as awful as everyone thinks it is.

Didn't Orel Roberts see a 900' talking Jesus in Tulsa?

You gotta go just to see that.

if you want nice people, slower pace, good food and to just relax you'll enjoy it.
if you're looking for a che or stalin statue to worship...youll hate it.

ah: one really crappy thing OK used to have, and may still have, stupid ass beer laws. maybe the doc can update us on this one. they used to only have 3.2% beer? why freaking bother. i have no idea if the craft brew moment is happening in OK or not. if not, what is your other poison besides beer?

Not sure why I or anyone would be looking for that.

Long Chile was a silly place.

They still only have 3.2% beer in gas stations/grocery stores, but that will be changing next year. The voters passed a state ballot initiative last year forcing the legislature to update the liquor laws by Oct 1 2018. Ok should be pretty normal at that point--beer and wine in grocery stores, better hours, liquor stores can sell cold beer, sunday sales etc.

There is some decent craft beer in ok and you can get it in the liquor stores np currently.

poor planning on my part, that was directed at cc.

Getting tickets to the Chili Bowl is next to impossible. Is your buddy hooking you up?

You are in for one of the coolest circle track racing events on Earth.

Honestly haven't made it that far in the planning. I had no idea it was so hard to get in. He may be able to hook us up.
