Opening this blog and judging from the title, you might expect a mind-blowing epic and insightful read…. But the center of the Universe is actually just a tiny space in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In downtown Tulsa, you’ll find a bridge that was burned down in the 1980’s. When it was rebuilt, engineers made a circular design that accidentally turned into an anomaly where you can hear your voice amplified several times over! Some people believe that this spot is the vortex where all of the cosmic energies meet. Which I’m totally open to as well, of course. But experts say the sound is a result of the parabolic reflectivity of the circular planter walls around the circle. Either way it’s very cool. Courtney, Dan and I had a great time in Tulsa. We also got to check out Ollie'son Route 66- the restaurant that was the inspiration for the original Pixar movie “Cars”. It was closed on a Sunday, but still fun to see. If you're headed to Oklahoma, other recommendations from our Tulsa experience are: Spinster Records, a fun and hip record shop downtown, The Tavern, a really lovely wine bar called that has a delicious chocolate cheesecake with a unique pepper crust, and Shades of Brown, an INCREDIBLE coffee shop that has unique and amazing creations including a peach chai that hit the spot. Our favorite night spot was Prairie Artesian Ales, where we enjoyed a tasting that included beers like “Consider Yourself Hugged”, “Prairie Paradise” and my personal favorite “E-Juice”. Good food, good drinks, good service and good company. Overall, tour life always takes us to interesting spots and allows us to enjoy a variety of memorable experiences. In conclusion, I would say that Oklahoma is….. well….. OK! (Get it)?
