Jacksonville or Tulsa?

[TDAS04]

?

[Asian Nazi]

Ugh, Jacksonville I guess.

[Santander]

Jacksonville, but this is a rather dire menu to choose from.

[Dancing with Myself]

Neither by choice but probably Jacksonville.

My dad's side is from Bradenton before my grandfather moved them to Mayberry so I'd have more of a reason to be there than in the middle.

Tulsa is a nice place though no offense.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Tough one. Jacksonville is the Tulsa of Florida.

[Goldwater]

Jacksonville.

[Figueira]

I know someone from Tulsa, so it has that going for it I guess.

[DINGO Joe]

Oddly enough, while you're infinity more likely to experience a hurricane in Jacksonville, the local sports teams @ Tulsa are called the Golden Hurricane.

Lived in Tulsa during grade school.  What I learned after leaving Tulsa--1) artwork does not have to include a cowboy 2) classical music besides Peter and the Wolf existed and 3) During the race riots after WW1, the local citizenry got into their aeroplanes and dropped dynamite on the black part of town, burning much of it down.

Don't really remember much about the politics of the time  (roughly mid to late 70s) but I do remember the local radio station constantly played a novelty song called "Freeze a Yankee" (Drive 75 and freeze 'em alive) which in retrospect does make them [ink]holes.

My grandmother's from Tulsa. Like most people:

Grandmother's hometown>>>Jacksonville, a hometown no one would admit to

[Mr. Smith]

Tulsa by far.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Tulsa > Kabul > Jacksonville

[DemPGH]

The one with beaches, warm/bearable weather year round, dolphins, and did I say beaches?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Can I face the firing squad instead?

Jacksonville

Not great but decent enough and way better than Tulsa.

Living near a beach is always preferable to being far away from one


Is Jacksonville really the worst city in Florida? Is that among just the major ones or even including Ocala, Gainesville, Pensacola, Panama City?

I'd consider Pensacola a major city. I love the Redneck Riviera. Gainesville is an SEC college town... it is disqualified from any discussion of worst cities.

[RFayette]

I like beaches, so Jacksonville.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

When I think of Jacksonville, this is what I think of.

There is literally nothing in Gainesville (Dereich and I once spoke of this in the IRC). Tallahassee has a lot more to do. Panama City and Pensacola are both fairly large cities, but I feel that if you aren't a retiree, a drunken UF student, or a military family, you won't enjoy it much.

I'd live in any town, city, village or Quonset hut in Florida before I ever set foot in Tulsa. I'm sure Clay County and Fernandina Beach would be a better fit for me than the actual city of Jacksonville.

The only good places in Oklahoma are Cimarron County: Freedom County! and the tiny town of Wakita, because Twister is one of my favourite movies
