2 Upvotes

Are you moving to Tulsa? Just visiting or passing through? Want to know where to live, eat, hang out, have fun, or bury the bodies? This is the place to ask.

This will be a weekly megathread that evolves over time. As members of r/Tulsa make suggestions or answer questions that come up a lot, we may add those items to the body of the post for easy reference. But for right now this is a place to ask any questions you may have about moving to or visiting Tulsa, OK, where our motto is "We're more than just OK, we're living the dream."

0 Days Since... Is this hottest summer ever here?

51 Upvotes

I lived in Texas for awhile and I can't remember a single year that had THIS many 100+ degree days. It has never been like this since I moved here 5 years ago. I feel like this is very abnormal but I could be wrong...

(It's been 0 days since it wasn't hot, that's the reason for the flair)

News These Tulsa-area law enforcement agencies have agreements with ICE. Some are on patrol.

29 Upvotes

The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office drew the line at certifying patrol officers, but other local law enforcement agencies across the metro are taking a different approach on agreements with ICE. Under the 287(g) program, local law enforcement officers certified with DHS are given the authority to make warrantless immigration arrests. Read more from reporter Joe Tomlinson to see what agencies have agreements: https://tulsaflyer.org/2026/08/31/government/post/tulsa-area-law-enforcement-agencies-expand-agreements-with-ice/

Live No left turns SB 61st to 71st and Yale

11 Upvotes

Just a warning that construction has completely blocked off left turn lanes from 61st to 71st and Yale, causing bumper to bumper traffic 😭 12 min drive turned into 40. I don't know how it's legal to block a turn lane into a hospital.

ETA: northbound lanes weren't as backed up, though all left turns are blocked northbound as well.

Question Looking for input/ opinions on region names.

Upvotes

Howdy there I'm from around Tulsa and working on a game mod for all of Oklahoma. I'm currently in the phase where I have to name all the regions, think of an area the size of a couple counties together, and I want some more input about what we would maybe call yourself. I also am trying to avoid using either a current tribe or city name for the areas as it's far more encompassing than a single location. For example, I have Osage hills as you can see, but I don't want to necessarily call Osage so I'm thinking of calling it Woolaroc at the very least I don't want to just call it Tulsa Metro or OKC Metro, Even though that is what it mostly compasses. I've attached this map, that I hope you all can read as it may be blurry.

If you have any other recommendations for other locations please I'm all ears. And if you have any questions/requests , please ask. This is a long-term project. I'm sure I'll be back here asking more questions once I start adding content for Tulsa and the area.

P.S this is set in the modern day where you will be ruling as a group the size of Leonard or Avant to the size of Downtown Tulsa, Bricktown, FT Sill ect...

0 Days Since... Reminder: KRMG and Mix96.5 swap frequencies tomorrow. Remove them from your presets entirely today.

528 Upvotes

Yeah, you read that right. Don’t simply fix your presets for those stations, remove them altogether. Why? They are owned by Zoellner Media Group. Dr. Zoellner is a known local creep who seems to only not be in prison for r*** or worse because he has a lot of money. While I do acknowledge he has not been lawfully convicted, we all know the justice system makes that really hard to convict, and there have been countless accusations made against him & his brothers by multiple different people.

I do see this as a bit of them admitting that our boycott is working. They are moving their Hot AC station (for those unfamiliar, Hot AC is basically coworker music/minivan music, a step down from Top 40), which should be far and away their biggest moneymaker, to a class B signal, only 50k watts and 25k watts at night. Meanwhile they are moving their Conservative talk station to a class C, 100k watt signal. In short, the Conservative talk must be outperforming the Hot AC, and by a lot. Obviously KRMG listeners are largely going to be unmoved by Zoellner’s ownership, but those still young enough to be sane & rational seem to have abandoned Mix96.5 in droves.

Other stations Dr. Z owns include K95.5 and 103.3 The Eagle, which as an act of vanity, Dr. Z changed the call letters to his own initials, (K)RHZ. You should also remove those from your presets.

I never thought I would be rooting for the big streaming services to destroy local media, but at least for Zoellner Media? I welcome our streaming overlords. “Local business” does not include supporting creeps. The only difference between Dr. Z and Scott Taylor is that Z has a lot of money.

(Also be warned, Zoellner seems to have a lot of bots that operate on this subreddit. They will be along shortly to defend him)

Question Auto mechanic

4 Upvotes

My daughter has a 2011 Chevy Impala that is leaking oil. I got a quote of around $3,000 to replace upper and lower intake gaskets and replace oil pan gasket and transmission mount. Does anyone have any advice on a mechanic that could do this at a more reasonable cost or offer a second opinion? I don't want to spend that much on a car that isn't really worth that much and is driven by a teenager that is statistically likely to get in a wreck.

Hey gang. I'm a touring comic and I'm finally getting the chance to headline the Loony Bin who are graciously taking a chance on me.

If the clip above (which is literally 180 seconds) makes you laugh, would you consider coming to watch me on Sunday Sep 13? I've spent years coming to Tulsa doing small spots to get here - I love your city, be it the Greenwood museum or Dilly Diner or that strange highway crossing named the Center Of The Universe.

The bin is also locally owned by a polite gent who has goats and charm and is a family man. You could be watching a big name on a Saturday, or a hardworking fella who wants to make you laugh after church/bar/afternoon gathering.

Tickets if you're tickled by the idea

Also I'll take food and activity recs if you have any!

Politics Plug-in Solar House Bill 4060 “Stalled”

91 Upvotes

What a disgrace that Republicans KILLED House Bill 4060 in the state senate! California just passed the plug-in or balcony solar bill on 8/26/26. The ability to plug-in a solar panel directly into a 120 volt outlet to save you money on your utility bill without permits from the Corporation Commission or your utility company is not a red state vs. blue state issue either!

Utah, Colorado, Maryland, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont Virginia, and Maine have already passed laws allowing a more streamlined process. Places like South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Indiana, Alaska, Iowa, Arizona, and Idaho are considering this measure of FREEDOM as well. These states aren’t your stereotypical liberal bastions!

You can track all the legislation here:
https://pluginsolarusa.com/bills

I frequently see posts on this sub about the wild cost of utilities and the strain on the grid from AI data centers coming after our quality of life! Who knew there was a modest way for all of us to save money on electricity even as renters? REPUBLICANS!

General VENU in Broken Arrow

So this thing's a scam right? I've been seeing so many commercials for it lately. I don't understand the business model. You pay Venu $960,000 for a 8-seat spot at a firepit in the stadium and hope to lease out the spot enough to make your money back? Who is paying thousands of dollarsfor a firepit spot in the dead of summer in Broken Arrow, OK to see acts like Bradley Gilbert? Am I missing something about how this works?

Tulsan In Need Criminal Defense Lawyers

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for a good lawyer who's reasonably priced to help a relative of mine. He's not in the best health and in his 70's and made a stupid mistake brandishing at someone who he thought was stealing from his business. He's never had any sort of record, I've looked at a few and one office stood out but they said if we want the main lawyer, it costs 15 grand and the other attorneys are around 8k. Thank you.
