proxam has challenged us to write about where we live. the only condition is that we must have my home town, in the title.

tulsa is a small city, oklahoma. there are about 400,000 people who live here.

i grew up in north tulsa. i went to the lombard school, for six years. if you visit tulsa you can see my school, (because it is one of the landmarks of the city), and is now a street school.

our first big shopping centre opened in the 1960's. it is called the osage mall. my mother couldn't drive, and i was glad that it was near our house, so i could walk there. they tore it down, because of the crime in the area, and all you'll see is a cerement slab. now, we all go to the woodland hills mall.

oral roberts, (a famous tv preacher), has a university here. it's a nice place to walk through.http://www.oru.edu

our city planners were very smart, and they didn't tear down many of our older buildings. you can see how well they have been spruced up, in the down town area, they look just like they did in the 1920's. here is a link if you want to see some pictures i took, of tulsa oklahoma.

i went to the tulsa central high school, that is downtown. there wasn't a big playground, so when we had free time we had fun visiting the business? their the school, to buy junk food. this school was moved, to west tulsa, in 1977. i bet the businesses miss the money they made from us.

we can't afford cable television so we listen to the radio, or watch the four tv stations that you don't have to pay for.

oklahoma is considered a rich state, because we have a lot of oil here. the rich people live on riverside drive. there are houses, condos and apartments, on both sides of the arkansas river.

most of the nice restaurants are in the brookside district. we can only afford to go out to eat on imp

ortant occasion
s. When we do go out we go to the Mentro Dinner, (for chicken fried steaks and home made pies), or to Camerelli's, (they make inexpen
sive Italian food).

If you visit here at the beginning of September, you can take part in the Backdoor Cajun Music Festival. You can taste Creole food, and listen to some Zydeco Music.

If you want to have a good time, at night, you will find a lot of places south of downtown, on Cherry Street.
The actor that was in Fried Green tomatos that play Cathy Bates husband from Tulsa Oklahome. listen to way he talk, we all sound like that from Oklahoma. Before he was famous, in 1969 and 1970 he had a late night friday night show. he host the late movie. another actor was with him, who later became famous too Gary Busey. It was very poplar among local teenagers of the Tulsa area.
I hope you come an visit us real soon.
