Only saw Route 66 sights in Tulsa, OK today, but that's a FULL day! So much to see, but the road beckons, so I'll be travelling west again tomorrow.

The Campbell Hotel, Tulsa |

I just liked this sign. As the charming lady at Buck Atom's Cosmic Curios informed me, the city of Tulsa is encouraging businesses along Rt 66 to display old fashioned neon signs, so there are a number of them. |
|
This shop is known for "Buck Atom Space Cowboy." The proprietor is a fan herself of Rt 66 and has great stories to share. |

You'll need to expand this, but the info is worth it. |
|
This explains the Elizabeth Taylor display, above. |
|
The "Meadow Gold" district is full of great shops and stops. |
|
IMHO, a nice example of the art deco buildings throughout Tulsa. |
|
This is in the cathedral district. There were numerous penguins, all painted differently, around the city. I enjoyed them almost as much as the dinosaurs in Pittsburgh, PA, especially as I'm a Penguins hockey fan. |
|
That's the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church spire above everything. |
|
This statuary scene and the bridge, next, celebrate Rt 66. |

This bridge, no longer in use, honors the "Father of the Mother Road" |
|
I stumbled on this underside view of the Cyrus Avery Bridge, so sharing with you. |
|
The Cyrus Avery Bridge, Tulsa, OK. There is a bike trail Under the new bridge worth seeing! Video 1, Video 2 |
|
I enjoy train travel, so feature this pic from the Expo grounds not far from the "Golden Driller". |
|
IMHO, these 4 days so far in OK have earned me my OK state sticker. |
