    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Dunno. But UHF was filmed in Tulsa, what is now Welltown Brewing is in it all the time. Gotta love Weird Al. The Outsiders was written by a Tulsa high school student, based in Tulsa, filmed in Tulsa, and the Outsiders House is now a museum with Danny Boy (House of Pain) heavily involved...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Yep, I'm okay with it. Their music isn't my thing, but they are unrecognizable from the young band of the 1990s (physically obviously, but also musically) and definitely talented (being in a band your whole life will do that). They have a large following around the world and way more people...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Not since The Incident, which we have scrubbed form history and really aren't supposed to talk about. Looks like there is a Pinto horse show in town at the Fairgrounds this weekend. The cattle auctions are every Monday out at the stockyards, so you could stick around for that. There isn't a...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Elgin Park will work just fine! A bit of a hike, but I wouldn't hesitate to walk it. Golden Hurricane... We were the Tulsa Tornadoes. In ~1922 we realized some school named Georgia Tech was using the name. Before the next game we adopted a new name, that let us keep the same logo. Those...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    I'd tend to go to the church of hiking at Turkey Mountain, Redbud, or Oxely Nature Reserve. Or the Church behind the Bicycle Handle Bars with the free bikes along the (mostly flat) river trails. If you have kids - you need to take them to the Gathering Place. A ~$450,000,000.00 FREE park that...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    I'm not a sports bar guy - but I think Elgin Park has the most TVs downtown. Fassler Hall is a downtown beer hall with lots of TVs also. - - - Casinos depends on what you want. There are three large casinos. All hotels, casinos, multiple bars or restaurants, and whatever else goes with it...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    I've heard several versions of that, and don't claim to know the truth. However, what seems to fit the map is supported by three facts and a perception: 1) Politics. Tulsa County is really oddly shaped. Downtown Tulsa is kind of in the middle of the County, but also really close to the edge...

    Damn, this is distracting. I'm blaming you for my lack of productive. Yep, all your fault. I'm not a very good pop culture person, but here goes... *no claim of quality is made, your taste may vary, had to stop the list at some point because it got to things I've never heard before...

    Bars seem to be a priority. That sucks, because Tulsa is a dry county. I kid, I kid (but Oklahoma does have dry counties, or did until recently)! There are a handful of bars near the BOK, but most are 5+ blocks away. 1st, some helpful hints for downtown Tulsa: * Downtown is aligned with the...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Wow, y'all are asking some tangential Tulsa questions. Well, okay... I think it's because TPD is really good at solving murders (over 90% I think). The national average isn't nearly as good and I'd guess it is more fulfilling for viewers when they are usually resolved in an episode or...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    I think they are doing valet, based on what I have seen while walking by but it could be people dropping off bag out front. I assume they are doing some form of off-site parking while the garage is being built, but I don't know if it is self park, valet, or both. Many commercial buildings use...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    No. You are dancing, we are not (for the third year in a row). We need any players we may have, and more. Sorry (not sorry). Also, our football team has fallen off a cliff and I'm losing my will to live. But whatever. March Madness, yay!

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    I'm getting to all the bar questions, I promise. So many bar questions I keep adding to it. Bloody Mary's... now, Im a pretty plain Bloody Mary guy, but for those that are really into it I hear: Downtown - Dilly Diner in the Blue Dome District (near 2nd and Elgin) or the Bramble just outside...

    Tulsa Questions? Happy to help!

    Nope. It's actually one of the oldest neighborhoods in Oklahoma, dating back to the post civil-war era (that's new for Oklahoma, which wasn't a state until late 1907!). Many of the buildings are still standing from the 1910s and 20s, though many others were lost for a variety of reasons (a...
