We have been up in Tulsa for over a month now! Here are some things that I am enjoying about living here...
Tulsa City-County Library
One of the best things about Tulsa is the library system! Tulsa has a lot of books, and a good portion are housed in the library right across the street from us. The library system is also a member of Mobius, a free inter-library loan service. I've already used Mobius twice!
Hardesty Regional Library
This is the large, fairly-new, bright, two-story library right across the street from us. Because it is a regional library, it is open on Sundays!
Reasor's grocery store
Grocery stores can look very different depending on the area of the country you are in. I think Reasor's comes closest to the West Coast look. The best thing about Reasor's is the bulk section, containing dried, cinnamon-sugar apple wedges. These apple wedges are NOT the typical fluffy/foamy/puffy/stretchy dried apple pieces. These are dried to moist, candied magnificence.
Recycling
Tulsa has made a point to provide many recycling bins around the city. One is across the street in the library parking lot. I used to recycle a lot of stuff when we were in Santa Clarita, so being able to recycle again is very nice.
Raising Cane's Chicken
This restaurant is down in Oklahoma City, too, but we've eaten more of it here in Tulsa. It is pretty good! We haven't been to Chick-fil-A in a while.
Hills! Hills! Hills!
THERE ARE HILLS IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA!!! When we lived in OKC, whenever we would drive down one particular street, I would tell Amos, "Look! We're going down a hill!" It wasn't quite that bad, but almost; OKC is built on a few low, sloping hills, so you don't really notice them. (We were back in OKC a few weekends ago, and as we drove down that same street, Amos pointed out that I hadn't said anything about it. "Ehhhh, there are lots of hills in Tulsa.") Tulsa has a lot of high, steep hills, one of which I can see from the library parking lot. ;) Tulsa isn't in the mountains, but it is much, much better than flat Oklahoma City.
Trash, or lack of it
Tulsans use garbage cans to dispose of their trash, rather than the common pile of trash bags stacked on lawns, waiting for the dump truck. There are also very few mattresses lying around...
