Actually, my best friend lived in Fenton for many years until she moved over to Dupo IL. I will agree that some folks out there are just... well let's just say they've got an over-inflated sense of their own importance.
I guess Tulsa just sprung up over the last however-many years. People down here drive ridiculously expensive and impractical cars. I've never seen so many Hummers, Chrysler Crossfires, Corvettes, brands I don't even recognize. Plus with Lonney doing ironwork for a living, he gets to work in these houses that are just... well they're crazy. I was helping him on this one house that BMI is building and donating the profits to the Make-a-Wish foundation. When I walked into that place, I told Lonney that if they really wanted to help people, that house had enough rooms that they could turn it into an orphanage! There was a room in the basement that had stadium seating and a hideaway big-screen TV. And the whole house had this decorative trim that's not even made out of wood but a rubber poly-fiber stuff.
I will agree that Southern Tulsa is expensive. There is an area just north of Admiral Street, that is nice & not expensive. I have several friends who live in that area & they own Pit Bulls.
We're actually living near Pine and Harvard. The house is nice. 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors, fully fenced yard, nice little deck out back. (No shed for some reason? Our lawmower is chained to the porch.) But the problem is, Lonney works in Bixby. So you figure 30-45 minutes commute with gas currently at $2.69, its hurting us in the long run. But there seem to be absolutely no decent rentals down that way. Only duplexes and apartments (and I could imagine how one of those would feel about me moving in with my Pit Bull).
When I moved to Tulsa, I missed White Castle (until I discovered the frozen ones at Reasors). Now that I'm in St Louis, I miss Dave's BBQ.
I did just realize one thing I would miss if I moved back: Logan's Roadhouse. I don't think there's one up there yet. Yummy. But we've actually got a Steak n Shake now. LOL.
Green Country APBT club should be having a show soon. I'll miss going to that. I may try to start a club once I get to Lubbock.
Yep. May 6-7th. I'll be doing some fun classes if the ADBA gets us Loki's papers in time. Unfortunately, the ADBA still wont hear of letting altered dogs pull, the poo-heads.
There's a little club in the Lubbock area. I believe its called the West Texas Total K-9 Association. I went to the show they held last September in Shallowater, and it was small but nice. If you're interested in that sort of thing, I'm sure they'd love to have new members. Try shooting a PM to Matrix. He's on this board.
