If you’re looking for a city with easy navigation, Tulsa, OK should be on your mind. Between Tulsa’s Downtown Coordinating Council and the Vision 2025 initiative, there are new city goals to convert all the one-way streets into two-way streets. As it is now, Main Street from Sixth Street to 10th Street allows only one direction, which is north to south. The Vision package allocated $457,000 for the street project on Main from Sixth Street to Seventh Street to include that conversion. And, the Downtown Council set aside $115.000 to create the conversion between Seventh Street and Tenth Street. This improvement will revitalize Downtown Tulsa and make it more accessible to suit everyone’s needs. The people that don’t work in the downtown area will soon want to visit the area because the tw... 01/18/2012

Midtown Tulsa Real Estate offers short commute to downtown Tulsa Downtown Tulsa is a great place to live, work and play and many are interested in midtown Tulsa real estate to shorten their commute to downtown Tulsa. Currently there are few condos downtown for sale and those that are for sale include sizable HOA dues. Rental apartments are available at the Mayo Hotel and Philtower Building, but those interested in home ownership are looking in areas with a short commute to downtown Tulsa. One area often overlooked by those shopping midtown Tulsa real estate is the area west of Denver and south of downtown Tulsa which includes Childers Heights and the historic Stonebraker Heights. I call it the area of midtown "down by the river," because it literally is between downtown Tulsa and Tulsa'... 08/30/2011

I recently attended the "Top of the Town" fundraiser for the Tulsa Child Care Resource Center. We toured eleven venues in downtown Tulsa, many with spectacular views of our historic art deco downtown buildings. You can read the post about the fundraiser or just enjoy a few of the spectacular views!   And one of my favorite photos of downtown Tulsa - taken six years ago on our wedding day, June 11, 2005 - Demetrius and I Greek dancing at 4th & Boston! 06/19/2011

Top of the Town, downtown Tulsa, T-Town, that is! Tulsa is commonly referred to as "T-Town," and when we refer to downtown, it is "downtown Tulsa." What an amazing spot for the Child Care Resource Center to host its 3rd Annual "Top of the Town" fundraiser! Held Thursday June 16, 2011, the event was sold out before it started. On the route, there were eleven venues in downtown Tulsa to visit and food was provided by several restaurants. You could start wherever you wanted and visit each stop for as long as you liked. My friend Linda and I began at the Atlas Life Building at 415 South Boston Avenue. We visited the Atlas Grill and the Tulsa Press club, both on the first floor. Now housing the Courtyard by Marriott, we toured several rooms there - we received a massage in one hotel suite, t... 06/18/2011

Name a downtown street after Leon Russell - Leon Russell Road is a reality in Tulsa Oklahoma It all started with a group on Facebook called "Name a downtown street after Leon Russell." Description of the group is, "A group of fans of the great Leon Russell who think it's a travesty that no major Tulsa artifact, street or the like has been named for the Master of Space and Time of Tulsa. Do you have any ideas on how to make this happen? Let us know." I joined the Facebook group the minute I became aware of it, and it now has over 3,000 members. Leon Russell and I share a birthday - we were both born on April 2nd. He returns to Tulsa almost every year for his annual birthday bash, and of course, I try to make "our celebration." I'm including one photo of his April 2010 birthday bash. I've... 11/07/2010
