An Owasso resident recently posed the following question on their Facebook page:
“Finish this question: I love Owasso because…”
The post received several responses varying from a favorite restaurant or place to shop to philosophical reasons why they “love Owasso” including these actual comments:
“Because it has a vision for growth that enhances the quality of life now and in the future, which will benefit my children. Higher Education (TTC/TCC)!!!”
“…we have the amenities of a larger city without the crime and the trash while maintaining a hometown spirit.”
“The people of this community demonstrate the highest level character and pursue excellence like no other city in our region.”
“It still has the feel of a small town but its really not anymore. Plus there is no need to go to Tulsa anymore and I love that!!”
“Because I have grandchildren that live there and also other family. I go to Owasso from Tulsa to do most of my shopping, they have all the stores I need and less traffic than Tulsa. I also go there to eat out and when I go to the theater. I love Owasso.”
To sum up the many responses, people love Owasso because it has a safe hometown atmosphere with an outstanding education system, all the retail choice and convenience of a much larger city, and a responsible municipal government committed to values necessary for a true community spirit to thrive.
How would you finish the question? I love Owasso because…
