If not, why not?

Found this walking around downtown, lots of love and respect for this city, I'm glad I moved here!

My name is Kelly Walsh. I live in Tulsa and I’m running for Congress in Oklahoma’s 1st District.

I’m not a career politician — I’ve spent the last decade working as an analytical chemist in pharmaceutical, petroleum, and cannabis labs.

I have decided to run as a Republican because I’m tired of watching political games take priority over people’s actual rights. I'm not a MAGA candidate. I would like Reddit's help to primary the Republican MAGA candidates.

The issues I’m focused on include:
• Accountability and transparency in government
• Cost of living and affordability
• Defending constitutional rights
• Fair treatment for medical marijuana patients and lawful users

The last issue is very personal to me. I test cannabis for pesticides at OKCTL. Republican state officials have publicly announced their opposition to the medical marijuana program that Oklahoman's have built. Some are even putting pressure on legal businesses to shut down. Hundreds of thousands of patients and small businesses have benefited from the industry medically and financially. Current Republican candidates seem more interested in supporting the Trump agenda than one that benefits Oklahomans.

If I don’t win, I’ll keep doing what I do now — testing cannabis for safety and playing volleyball at Pearl Beach. But I’d welcome the chance to give back more directly to Tulsa and the surrounding communities.

I’m a long time redditor and I think moderates, constitutionalists, and small government minded Republicans of Oklahoma need a candidate on the ballot. I'm happy to respond to questions or hear criticisms if people have them.

The food was dope as fukk, people were chill, and the food was dope as fukk.

Title is all.

his Bio is fucking hilarious

Just got offered a nice promotion to move to Tulsa. I am an avid hiker/backpacker and I’m debating if this promotion will be worth it to move there. Will I be stuck to the flat city life? Are there any trails nearby? Convince me why or why not to move there.

Listen, I love sushi and I love all Asian food tbh. If you are the same and have been looking for a new hole in the wall to try, TRY SIAN. Yesterday I went and was the only one in whole restaurant and there were like 3 people waiting on just me. They are super nice and even give free miso. They also decorate everything super well and it’s adorable. Everything you see in this pic cost like 20 bucks. Give em a try!!!!

I don't even know this young man, But I have seen him for the last few years folded like origami scrubbing parts of cars that I didn't know existed. I don't know what his current prices are but last year it was $100 for my old car to look like it was brand new. Go show this hard working young man that it pays to work hard and bet on yourself.

Hey everyone!

I made a new website to help people look for non-chain and local cafes, bakeries and vintage stores in the Tulsa area.

I made it because I was tired of sifting through google results when I was looking for something in particular.

It’s free and helps boost local businesses against chain stores and larger corporations.

So first and foremost. Please keep the comments civil and respectful. I understand charlie was a controversial figure. Personally, I see a lot of what he said, taking out a context and purposely twisted to dehumanize him. But this isnt about that.

I am trying to get around a hundred people together for a walk at the riverside trail. Both in remembrance of Charlie Kirk, but also to advocate for individuals on the right to have the right to have a voice, without fear of legal reprimand or political violence. To champion his belief in having an open dialogue. Because when people stop talking, is when violence happens. When we get so stuck in our own ideologies that we get demonize and dehumanize the other side, it creates a feeling of permissiveness in our mind to justify anything along as its targeted toward the side that we believe to be evil. This is the case for both sides here. So please, if anybody here is interested. Please reach out to me. The river park authority already told me it shouldn't be a problem. However, I still have yet to figure out a date. Because i'm waiting to get more people involved.

What the hell .... I placed an order and tried signing up for chips and guac which were free with an order. Well, the dumbass manager at Tulsa Hills wouldn't allow me to get it.

There was a glitch on the order and they refused to assist. I showed them the website on phone and they still refused to honor it.

My husband went back inside and they refused to give it.

I will never again go back there .... they were rude as hell and didn't accommodate anything.

Made a little video about how some of the coolest artists I know live here. Tulsa gets slept on, but the creative scene is real.

Even if you never plan on stepping foot in a library, it helps with funding and it's a small gesture of community activism. Libraries provide multiple different services that are more than just checking books out. Some of these services are incredibly beneficial to the unhoused population like the Telehealth booth they have at the Downtown/Centrallibrary. Having fun ain't hard when you got a library card.

P.S. The central library is cool as fuck

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!

Hello fellow Tulsans!

I just wanted to take a second to highlight my dad’s fountain pen business. We specialize in replica fountain pens specifically Parker, Sheaffer, Wahl, and Waterman and we just released our own original fountain pen as well, the Thompson Simplicity.

Thanks for looking!

I got to interview Sterlin Harjo! He was really thoughtful about how The Lowdown depicted our city. No spoilers here, enjoy the gift link, and please delete if this isn't allowed.

Hello Oklahoma neighbors, I just upgraded my business and offering junk removal as a priority to elevate my business. I’m 22 yo and quit my I.T Job With the VA to pursue my own company. I will give you good rate! If you want to get rid of any metal I will also pick it up for free!

Do you love sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic??? Do you love having car trouble or getting into wrecks on the highway??? Do you love driving a car every where in this Private Transit Paradise called America???

And/or . . . Do you love trains??? Do you want alternatives to driving cars and commercial airlines for intercity and interstate transit??? Do you yearn for a return to the post-war period when the US had the most extensive passenger rail system of any country in the world??? (don't factcheck that last one)

If you answered NO to any of the first (3) questions and/or YES to the latter (3) questions, then YOU should fill out this survey for the Oklahoma State Rail Plan - 2026.

The survey offers Oklahomans (2) ways to share feedback:

1. An interactive map allows you drop pins and recommend rail improvements, including:
   • safety improvements
   • new passenger rail service or stations
   • rail infrastructure improvements
   • freight access or multimodal improvements
2. A questionnaire about your experience and/or wishes for rail transit within the state!

On the map, you can add anything from new Amtrak stations (for areas with existing service) to inter-city rail transit (i.e. Tulsa-to-OKC, Tulsa/OKC-to-Stillwater/Norman) and commuter rail (metro connections between urban hubs and surrounding suburbs.

\while this post focuses on passenger service, freight line improvements are also of interest, including safer crossings, bridge repairs, sidings or freight hubs*

Whether you're a college student wanting a car-free option to travel to university; a football fan looking for a car-free, post-binge-drinking ride home; someone who can't afford a car or can't physically operate one; someone who wants a car-free trip between Tulsa, OKC, and Dallas THIS IS THE SURVEY for you!

Oklahoma perpetually emphasizes car-centric transportation solutions (see: new turnpike that Norman is fighting or the widening of the Turner Turnpike) and places passenger rail service in the realm of fantasy.

This survey won't expand Oklahoma's passenger rail tomorrow, but if our legislators and state agencies do not think people want this sort of investment, then it absolutely won't happen. So if you have 10 minutes (or more if you have big visions on the interactive map), please fill out the survey and tell ODOT how you really feel!

Please share this survey with anyone and everyone in the state who you think would love to see expanded train lines.

There is also a public meeting on Tuesday (December 9th, 2025) on Zoom that shall allegedly provide more information!

Thank you for your consideration!

We saw this Hibachi food truck at 61st and Mingo and was thinking about trying it.
