As the Tulsa State Fair rolled into town, so did more than a fair share of traffic.Living just a few blocks away from Expo Square, Matt Noonan and his family chose to walk over. They dealt with streets more crowded than normal for the first days of the 11-day stretch. They said it can get a bit hectic."Its just part of living in this area," said Noonan. "It does bring a lot of traffic, it brings a lot of trash too in the neighborhood.... It's not a terribly big deal, but it can be a nuisance at times." His otherwise quiet neighborhood got overrun, not just with driving traffic but people parking on the side of the street and walking to the fairgrounds.Noonan said he understands it comes with the territory of living so close to the fairgrounds.
