First time visit to Tulsa. Any advice? (real estate, hotel)

[midnightcalling]

Hello everyone. First let me say that I have been reading alone on this and the other forum to learn as much as I can about your city and have found each to be very informative.

My fiancé and I are currently residing in Western New York State and are considering relocation to your area. We are planning to visit the Tulsa area next month.

Your area seems to be a good choice to us because of the employment opportunities. My profession is that of a Machinist, while she is a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. Also your area seems fitting because of the seemingly attractive real estate costs and much lower property taxes then we are currently experiencing. We also prefer to live near a decent size city which offers options for shopping, restaurants and other things to do outside the home, which Tulsa seems to offer.

We would appreciate any leads on a decent hotel or motel in a safe area which also would offer reasonable rates….. or possibly an area or street that should be considered for seeking such a place?

We plan to contact Workforce Oklahoma and any other job service which may be of help to get us in tune with the job market. We have been looking at the many job seeking websites available here on the net and also potential employer websites. Any thoughts or advice about the employment outlook in the machining trade and that of a cota would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading and any input that may be offered.

Check into the Microtel Inn & Suites at 4531 E 21ST St; it's pretty affordable $60-70 a night, if remember correctly. It's in a good locatino in the central part of town, and is very close to Promonade Mall.

I don't know alot about the machining industry around here, but there's a plethora of shops in Tulsa.
