[edit] Tourism "Mecca"?

I toned down the cheerleading. I grew up in Oklahoma, and saying any city is a tourism "Mecca" is overblown to say the least. CranialNerves 01:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Please do not use Wikipedia to advertise how great Jenks, OK is. Buy an ad or use your website to do that. Also, a little history on the city would be nice. I would like someone from Jenks to clean up this page.

Well i'm not from Jenks but I know the area so I cleaned it up. I hope.

I lived in Jenks for several years and graduated from Jenks schools. I disagree with the statement about the alienation of lower income families. I can give reasons, but that's not my point. The point is that it is an opinion, not a fact. I think it should be removed all together. The statement about the underrepresentation of minorities is true, however. Also, the 'myth of Jenks' is difficult to understand and should be cleaned up. Perhaps a lead in statment such as, "The myth states...." with the myth in block quotes.

As for adding some history to the page; the Jenks branch of the Tulsa Public Library has a wonderful book detailing the history of Jenks. I do not have access to it since I have moved, but I would recommend it to anyone in the area.
