Not only this, but additional jobs are arising from university-business partnerships in this sector of the state.

VACATION AND WORK IN BROKEN ARROW

Historic Tours, Native American Indian Country attractions, universities and colleges, great sports to watch and play,   sustainability and conservation all contribute significantly in the growth of Broken Arrow/Tulsa economies.

When you take a look back at the Great Depression, piece by piece, from 1929 – 1941, a number of similarities and parallels show forth. Only World War II could produce the manufacturing and related industrial step-ups to ignite the American economy again.

People starved to death and transient workers died on the road across the American South and West – often straight across Route 66 to California, where archives tell the tale in screamingly dramatic black and white still shots.  Ohio was a nother state particularly devasted in the Great Depression, was was New York and the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma and Texas.

Following the pertinent Time Line from Stock Market Crash to Pear Harbor infamy, war almost seemed planned for 1941, if not a big coincidence. It was fortunate that the US instituted the military draft the year before…

Austin, Texas  author-entertainer-character  Kinky Friedman is using Twitter to ramp up his candidacy for Governor of Texas in 2010. Meanwhile, he continues to make music and write mystery novels. This  one in the middle of his series is about his best, taking him as the hero Private Eye out of NYC and back to Medina Texas to the family ranch and kid’s camp that he operates. It’s a good read, pretty funny as well as interesting, and shows that  at Texas Governor, at least he’d have a sense of humor.
