Lake Oswego Review · Tulsa, OK
Nearby: Tulsa, OKLake Oswego Mayor Joe Buck hosted a roundtable discussion with new City Manager Denzel Maxwell on Thursday, Nov. 12 at Oswego Hall. The African-American Women of Lake Oswego and Surrounding Areas co-hosted the event. The event gave the community an opportunity to meet Maxwell and hear about his journey to Lake Oswego. Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and previously working as an assistant city manager in California and Colorado, Maxwell has served as city manager for only six weeks, but has been struck by Lake Oswego’s welcoming atmosphere. “I got a sense that it was a welcoming community. It was a community looking to the future and had a sense of where it wanted to be and that stood out,” said Maxwell. He said he’s excited to continue expanding the community’s access to the local government, through an updated city website and by meeting more community partners and stakeholders. “Most communities’ website actually is the number one way that people get their news.

Nearby: Tulsa, OKThe union representing workers at WE Soda’s trona and soda ash operations in southwest Wyoming, as well as some of their supporters, are calling on Gov. Mark Gordon to pump the brakes on a $13 million state taxpayer-funded grant request by the company. The company says it will cut 350 jobs at its Westvaco operations over the next two years, beginning in January with 274 workers receiving pink slips, according to a notice WE Soda sent to state and local government officials. How to comment To comment on the WE Soda and other grant recommendations, send an email to the Wyoming Energy Authority at [email protected]. Click here to review the projects and to learn more about the Energy Dominance Fund.

The Frontier · Tulsa, OK
Nearby: Tulsa, OKNovember 6, 2026 For more than a decade, The Frontier has held powerful institutions accountable, exposed wrongdoing and told stories that might otherwise go unheard. Now we’re asking readers to help us continue that mission. Tweet Share Share Author Dylan Goforth [email protected] Reading Time 4 min Posted In fundraising Frontier executive editor Dylan Goforth, left, interviews Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols. ASHLYND BAECHT/The Frontier Earlier this year, The Frontier published an investigation into the deaths of people held in Tulsa’s city jail. Our reporter, Garrett Yalch, spent months digging through records, interviewing families and examining how people arrested for relatively minor offenses ended up dead in city custody. We found that seven people had died in the jail over three years. We uncovered records that the city kept from the public. And we obtained disturbing video showing a man who was taken to jail instead of a hospital, where he died within an hour.
The Tulsa Times · Tulsa, OK
Nearby: Tulsa, OKYour home address, not your preference, usually decides which public school your child attends. Every Tulsa-area district divides itself into attendance zones — fixed geographic areas, one per school — and the zone you live in points to an assigned elementary, middle and high school. The exception is a transfer, which most districts allow but which depends on space. The practical takeaway is simple: verify before you rely on an assumption. Real estate listings, neighbor anecdotes and even a district map glance can be wrong. The district's own boundary lookup, tied to your exact address, is the only answer that counts, and enrollment staff will confirm it if you call. Tulsa is Oklahoma's second-largest city, as Travel Oklahoma notes in its profile of the city, and that scale shows up in its schools: multiple districts and many campuses serve families across the metro, each with its own zone map and its own transfer rules.
The Tulsa Times · Tulsa, OK
Nearby: Tulsa, OKThe Fourth of July in Tulsa looks like a familiar American holiday: backyard cookouts, a parade down a main street, fireworks over the river. But the customs behind it are older than the city by more than a century. They trace to commemorations that began in 1777, when Philadelphians marked the first anniversary of independence with bonfires, bells and fireworks, and they grew as the country grew. Understanding how those traditions formed — and how the events leading to the American Revolution shaped what people celebrate — helps explain why Tulsa's holiday looks the way it does. The city itself came much later. According to Wikipedia, Tulsa was settled between 1828 and 1836 by the Lochapoka band of Creek Native Americans and formally incorporated in 1898, so the town inherited national customs that were already well worn. What are the events leading to the American Revolution that the Fourth commemorates?

Nearby: Tulsa, OKThe right Tulsa neighborhood is the one that matches your actual week: the school run, the drive to work, and a payment you can make without flinching. No single district wins on all three, so the useful move is to rank what you cannot compromise on and let the rest flex. This guide walks through how to weigh schools, commute and cost across the metro, then how to judge the thing listings never capture — whether a street feels like a place you want to live. Start by naming your anchors. If a specific school matters most, that sets your search radius before anything else does. If a downtown or hospital-district job matters most, commute sets it. Cost then narrows what is left. Newcomers often do this in reverse and end up house-hunting in the wrong zip codes. How should you weigh schools first? If schools drive your move, verify attendance boundaries yourself rather than trusting a listing.
