Lost Tulsa

Filed under: Observation — lane.randy @ 8:51 am

As I start pondering more and more my possible return to the Tulsa area, I’ve been poking around Flickr for what people are taking pictures of in the area. I stumbled upon Lost Tulsa and really felt saddened by the point this guy is making: Tulsa is a city full of rich history, but few are willing to take the steps to preserve it. It was the oil capital of the world for goodness sakes! I would really love to take a day and go photograph some interesting angles at Oral Roberts or go show Wooloroc through pictures. Sometimes the stuff of stunning photos is where you spent years trying to get away from.

  1. You’ve got to be one of the most sentimental people I know, but don’t ever change!

    As sad as it is to see some of the rich culture of Tulsa cast aside in the name of progress, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. (and we actually have the best of both worlds living in a nearby “bedroom” community).

    I’ll have to take you to the Tulsa Historical Society, one of customers, next time you visit. It’s awesome!

    In the meantime, “we’re doin’ fine, Oklahom-a, Oklahoma, Okay!”

    D.O.D.
