Oklahoma: kindest people in the nation?

I was in Tulsa through the weekend and yesterday for meetings. I work in a business that requires travel all over the nation, and I was blown away at the kindness of people in Tulsa. I've never seen anything like it. It was start to finish: airport, hotel, restaurants, business interaction, running interaction, and even just getting gasoline ($2.40 a gallon?!?!). Really cool out and back trail on a river for my long run yesterday- really enjoyable place. I'm an East Coast native, and regret all the times that I made fun of Oklahoma. I suppose I had to experience it to appreciate it. Hats off, Okies.

Anyone else with similar experiences in underhyped areas in the nation?

Let me guess: you're white?!

Because he was on business? Bit racist mate.

I've heard Tulsa is a lot like the Austin of Oklahoma

Ask Terence Crutcher how kind the people are in Tulsa? I’ll wait.

For a young person who can handle long hours, try Key West; famous as “The Last Resort”; most accepting people anywhere.

Unfortunately, you overlooked the reply I made in a previous post addressing a similar comment:

"I am openly gay and Puerto Rican."

What a shame to see a thread started with positivity in mind be deluged with the typical negativity brought on by this site. Being honest, it hurts my heart a little. This is why we can't have nice things.

Autopsy results released by the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner indicated that Terence Crutcher had "acute phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication" at the time of the shooting. The report stated that Crutcher had 96 nanograms per milliliter of PCP in his blood at the time of death.[23] The report also indicated that tenocyclidine (TCP), a psychostimulant and hallucinogen which is more potent than PCP, was present.[24]

Oh, and PCP was found in his car.

Crutcher highlights the difference in how Oklahoma handled tragedy and racial strife:

Significant consider the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot.
