This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Schools

That is what I have decided is one of the solution to the woes from which Tulsa suffers.

Schools offer a chance to attract and retain and important group of people, the 18-25 age group. This is an important age because they represent a very attractive demographic for business. They traditionally have free time and disposable income. When kids go off to college they invariably take some of mom and dad's money with them. That money gets spent in the community where the school is located. An extra added benefit would include the addition of young people to the cultural scene in Tulsa. They would add much needed time and energy that would fuel various cultural scenes.

We already have the University of Tulsa that is a great Engineering school. We have Oral Roberts that attracts students that want to learn in a Christian environment, We have Spartan that has been attracting flight students (under the radar?) to town for years. So what do we need?

An Arts and Music school.

Think about the possibilities. We would no longer have to watch our young who want to pursue the life of art and music leave the state in order to pursue their ambitions. It would have the added benefit of contributing to the cultural capital of the city as arists and musicians got involved in the local cultural elements. We'd have better art stores, better bands, better music stores that the citizens of Tulsa would also benefit from but would be primarily driven be the need to serve the student population.
