An innocent enough question, I thought. I bet I'd get five responses, give or take a response. Or five.</div><div><br /></div><div>I certainly didn't think that question would open the floodgates of public opinion. Within an hour or so I had 30 responses on Facebook and 23 more on Twitter. Those are solid numbers 'round here, especially considering I wasn't even giving anything away. </div><div><br /></div><div>I loved the range of attitudes about life in Tulsa reflected in what people had to say about this city as a home, whether to family or great food or the worst roads to ever criss-cross the American prairie. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some of my favorites: </div><div><ul><li>QuikTrip. And the Cain's. </li><li>A generous community, willing to give their time AND money to those less fortunate.</li><li>The best quality of life for young professionals anywhere in the country. </li><li>More art, theater and music than you can get to.</li><li>All who return from far-flung locales, having completed their spirit quest, ready to bring their hard-won knowledge and experience back into the fold.</li></ul></div><div>Boomerangers. Tulsa's full of 'em. Folks just can't stay away. </div><div><br /></div><div>I love how blogging and other forms of social media are interactive, which means readers have the opportunity to have their voices heard in a way traditional media has a hard time delivering. Some folks said Tulsa is home to: </div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Corrupt politicians.</li><li>Gaybashers, unfortunately. <a href="http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&amp;articleid=20091020_11_A9_Whatsh689202&amp;archive=yes">That is what comes to mind lately</a>.</li><li><a href="http://www.wnba.com/tulsa/">A WNBA team</a> that is doomed to fail.</li><li>Potholes the size of my car.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>I love how the quirkiness of this city comes out in responses to questions like these. Tulsa is home to: </div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>A plethora of churches. </li><li>No more than two degrees of separation.</li><li>26 comments and nobody mentions the Center of the Universe? <a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2009/10/what-to-do-in-tulsa-this-weekend_22.html">The Center of the Universe!</a></li><li>The strange alongside the commonplace.</li><li>The cutest bulldog ever, Bella.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>Bella! I love it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Get the full list of responses <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40tashadoestulsa">on Twitter</a> and <a href="http://facebook.com/tashadoestulsa">Facebook</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now it's your turn. How would you fill in the blank?</div>
