Kristina Pearman reports in this review:

Weather	How much crime?	What are the neighborhoods like?	What are the people like?
Very humid in the spring and summer with temps as high as 110. winters are mild anymore with some ice and storm at times. we are in tornado alley and did have a few in Broken arrow last year.	Crime isn't as bad in BA as it is in Tulsa but with Tulsa right beside us we do get our fair share of robberies.	Bad areas are Garrett street and 61st and north of there. Best areas are south and east BA. overall its mostly middle class and white.	People are very nice and friendly for the most part. there are a lot of mom and pop stores in BA and so its a real community of sense. Mostly whites but all kinds of ethnic backgrounds.
Downtown Area	Restaurants	Schools	Single life
Downtown BA is very quaint and charming. Recently updated it has a nice friendly inviting feel to it with some unique shops like Keja Vu, Sewflakes and the Beadles. There are quite a few shopping centers in Broken Arrow so lots of places to get whatever you are looking for without going into Tulsa.	Apple Barel Cafe is a favorite. Main Street Tarven downtown is very good also.	The schools in BA are pretty good with lots of opportunities for students including debate. There are a lot of students that attend BA so classroom sizes are large and kids don't know everyone in their class.	there are bars and hangout places around town for singles and lots of clubs you can join to get involved in the community and meet people.
Noise	town comparison vs.	Best hospital	Tourist attractions
There are two main highways in Broken Arrow and they can get noise. Some parts of town are pretty rural and therefore very quiet. But you still hear the occasional plane or chopper fly over.	Broken arrow is a richer town than Tulsa and so has nicer homes. it is also more spread out and has a lot of rural areas still. I prefer BA to Tulsa but I prefer Bixby to BA. Bixby is newer up and coming town with mainly big homes and lots of new shopping centers.	St. John's Broken Arrow at 61st & Elm is a great hospital. Probably the best in all of Tulsa's surrounding towns.	One of my favorite places to go is Ray Harrel Nature Park located behind a school on 121st street between Elm and 193rd. Its so peaceful there, great place to go walk around in nature.
General comments
BA is has a homey feel to it that Tulsa doesn't. It's rural and its city so it's the best of both worlds with a old charm.
