Why the hell would you want to move there? Timmay will just come over all the time with his wife and annoy the crap out of you. I think he lives off 128th street, or some nonsense like that.

Weather is generally pretty nice. Not super cold in winter, not a lot of snow (especially this year). Doesn't get super hot in summer, can get over 100, but mostly stays in 90's. We do tend to get tornados in late Spring / early Summer.

Not sure about B.A. Schools, but that's one of the more affluent areas of Tulsa, so I think they'd be pretty good.

* Housing
If you're buying, home prices are pretty cheap compared to other parts of the country. If you're renting, I don't really know what prices are like, I haven't rented in about 6 years.

* Stuff to do
Well, let's see... Motorsports wise, If you like road racing, there's Hallett. If you like Drags, there's TRP. If you're into AutoX, we have that too. However, we're having a hard time finding (and keeping) a site.
They have recently allowed the Indian Tribes have casinos so there are several of those if you're into gambling.
They have a pretty nice zoo and a brand new Aquarium in Jenks.
There are a lot of lakes in the area.
I can't really comment on "Night Life"... I have a family w/3 children, so I don't get out much. 
As far as SC CEG meets are concerned, not much of anything goes on. I'm pretty much the only "regular" poster. There's a couple of trolls, Cody (Static) who used to post a lot here, and Rich (Kung Fu Troll). We get together from time to time (rare). There's also Eric (Pale Horse) but I've never met him and he hasn't posted much lately.
Edit: OH YEAH! Don't forget Timmay!!
All the real action happens down in DFW!

Termites are a pretty big problem (where are they not?). In the summer, we got a lot of "web worms". Not sure the technical name, but they spin these cottony cocoons in the trees and some of the really infested ones look like the tree is full of white cotton candy. I think it's more a cosmetic issue than anything else, but it just looks gross.

* Population
B.A. Population
Tulsa Population
I think the Tulsa area is just the right size. Big enough to have everything you need, but not so big that you feel like you're in a big city. Traffic's not too bad, except everything seems to be under construction right now.

You forgot to mention the crappy beer. I think people in Ok like to bowl and breed. Sounds like you have the latter half taken care of. It looks like a nice place to camp. Oklahoma is a pretty state and you will be close to civilized folk in Texas. Just watch out for Timmay!
Suck it Trebek! And by Trebek I mean Seaegee!

That's because bowling and breeding are the only things to do.Why do you think the teenage birth rate is so high,seriously.
BTW:i'm not much of a fan of bowling though.

The low alcohol in your beer doesn't effect sperm mobility.
Or is it affect?
Bottom line: Oklahoma is full of a bunch of horny heathens with no knowledge of birth control and bad beer.
You don't have any daughters do you?

I wouldn't go that far,there are ALOT of stupid people in Oklahoma,but I live here I'm allowed to say that.Your from TX right?Just because the beer has less alcohol doesn't make it bad,most beer sucks anyway.The only reason people don't know enough about BC is because Oklahoma is the bible belt of America,and sex is bad so parents and school admin. think that if they tell kids that sex is bad then they won't do it. 
No, I do not have any children I understand how to use BC.
BTW:it is affect

How cute. You are new. You don't know me yet. I'm an evil smartass. Ask anyone who has a post count over 100.
Dammit! I had affect first!
The daughter question was for the original poster.

Actually I've been looking at this site for probably 4 or 5 years.I was here before the site went to it's new format.I stopped posting for a couple of years when the site got flooded with smartarse jerks and people who didn't give a s*** about the site.So, no I'm not new.
And no that wasn't directed at you.

I have three daughters. So, in other words if we teach our childern well and stay away from the bars we well be fine.
We, do not have a termite problem up here, some dampwood termites.
Sounds like you have a fair amount of stuff to do. I do not really get out that much either, but we do stuff as a family. Lots of lakes sounds good. And with the warm weather the water might not be too bad. Up here the water probably only warms up to about 55 - 60 degrees in the lakes.
I wish that I had time to do more motor sports.
