Downtown Tulsa or Brookside - Melting Pot of the Metropolis?

I once thought it was just downtown Tulsa, but Brookside has also become the melting pot for the area. It's really amazing and bizarre actually how such a variety of personalities could successful cohabitate in such a small area. On any given day in both Brookside and downtown Tulsa you can see business executives Starbucks latte in one hand talking with the bluetooth and on the same side a homely person of extremely little - if completely non-existent means - talking to their paper sack. You would think that these two very different people, from very different worlds would stay as far away from each other as possible, on either side of the "track" so to speak, but no, they go to the same QTs, one going in for the morning paper and the other outside, sitting on that yesterday's paper, hoping for enough change to ride the bus. I don't know what this phenomenon says about our society or even our town, but it is interesting and often quite entertaining.
