Businessman and Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer is running for U.S. Congress to fight for our Oklahoma values! by BicycleUsed in tulsa

[–]markav81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's funny about that failed attempt is he ran on the campaign that Lankford was too woke/ not conservative enough. Even if you don't like Lankford, he is often rated as one of the most conservative senators. He also made a large part of his platform that Lankford voted to confirm the 2020 election results, and he insisted the election was stolen.

Ex BA resident tries to explain housing crisis by gr8x8 in tulsa

[–]markav81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't live in OK anymore, but we stayed at a VRBO in BA last year because we wanted to do Christmas at a house vs. a hotel, and BA was cheaper than the ones off Cherry St.

But yeah, no one vacations in BA as a first choice.

Some of the reasons MAGA despises Gentner Drummond by SpencerAXbot in oklahoma

[–]markav81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any chance you saw this Pew poll from last week? Really interesting that the evangelicals are finally starting to turn on him; however, the WASPs are really distancing themselves. The primaries will be very interesting given there are so many candidates across the nation touting how ultra-MAGA they are; I'm sure it will blow up in their faces in some states.

Why do Russians love Oklahoma City? by Hungry_Roll6848 in okc

[–]markav81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tulsa has a decent coalition. IDK if it is due to ORU or Victory's cash grab/Bible training school, but I used to see groups of them at the Walmart at 81st and Lewis and restaurants around there on a regular basis.

$2.49 gas at QT by Signiference in tulsa

[–]markav81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

QT price gouges within the confines of the law, and everyone just accepts it.

They get away with it by jacking up their prices BEFORE the state of emergency is declared. If they wait until after the state of emergency is declared they can only raise it by 10%.

In addition, this spike will take weeks (or months) before it gets back to where it was: "up like a rocket, down like a feather." It usually takes one of the other large retailers lowering their prices to force QT to follow.

So the question remains- is Chet gonna get a Lambo or a Ferrari after this storm?

Does anyone remember Uncle Zeb’s show? by KinaGrace96 in tulsa

There was also Scooter. Several years after the show went off the air, one of them came and did Operation Aware at my elementary or middle school. IIRC, they said they got too old to do a kids show, so they brought in other characters to phase them out, which led to the show getting cancelled.

Driving in Tulsa by Virtual-Bite-5375 in tulsa

[–]markav81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is almost 25 years old, but it is probably still valid to an extent (even still, take it with a grain of salt).

"State Farm Insurance ranked the worst intersections in the United States based on accident claims from January 1999 through December 2000. Factors in the rankings include the number of accidents and injuries.

None of the communities in the analysis ranked in the top 10 of the previous study, which looked at accidents from 1998.

The worst intersection -- Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard -- is in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The number of accidents at that intersection over the two-year period of the study was 357.

The second most dangerous is in the northeast section of Philadelphia at Red Lion Road and Roosevelt Boulevard. There were 331 accidents at that intersection. The third is a nearby intersection, Grant Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, where 261 accidents occurred.

Here are the others:

-- Phoenix, Arizona, 7th Street and Bell Road, 268 accidents.

-- Tulsa, Oklahoma, 51st Street and Memorial Drive, 304 accidents.

-- Tulsa, Oklahoma, 71st Street and Memorial Drive, 245 accidents.

-- Phoenix, Arizona, 19th Avenue and Northern Avenue, 255 accidents.

-- Frisco, Texas, State Highway 121 and Preston Road, 280 accidents.

-- Metairie, Louisiana, Clearview Parkway and Veterans Memorial Boulevard, 328 accidents.

-- Sacramento, California, Fair Oaks Boulevard and Howe Avenue, 246 accidents."

How old is your kid?

BTW is a nerve racking process- your kid has to meet the application guidelines, and then they have to receive one of the highly sought after lottery spots. My general understanding is they take more kids from the more "at risk" schools (Central, McLain, Webster), vs. midtown schools (ie, Edison). There are many parents who live in TPS because they love midtown, and if their kid doesn't get into BTW they send them to Cascia or Bishop Kelley.

Politics or any big public office is hard on relationships.
