Tulsa, Oklahoma holds a dear place in my heart. I moved there as a child when dad accepted a position with the City of Tulsa as Director of Street Maintenance. I met my husband there. Our daughter was born in Tulsa. Tulsa is only a short 3.5 hours drive from our current home and with a move looming which will take our drive to more than 8 hours, we recently traveled north of the Red River to visit. I thought you might like a tour of some of my favorite things about Tulsa...
The "pink hospital" aka Saint Francis. Many family births and deaths have occurred in this facility.
LaFortune Park - the place to go for walks, picnics, ducks, golf...
Southroads Mall - My mom was the first FEMALE certified marketing director in the country and worked for this mall as I was growing up. I had my first job here and spent many weekends helping out as a costume character or blowing up balloons.
Quik Trip - a Tulsa original. I have managed to pass on my love of the icee drink to our daughter, best made with multiple flavors!
Memorial High School - where I graduated in '82. Love my Chargers!
Loops - a yarn and fiber store (actually they have 2 locations - South and Utica)! Do I really need to explain this to you?
Elmer's BBQ "It be Bad!" - yes, something so "bad" is so extremely good.
