We went to see the museum and wound up with WK doing the tour, the amount of information that this man has is phenomenal and the machines and the back stories that went with them is something worth hearing, we spent 5 hours there, asking questions and hearing stores, saw a lot of machines that we have never seen before and came home with out heads full of so much information and we are planning to go back for more. It is a hidden gem that needs to be explored.

Our last day at the Bob Dylan conference in Tulsa was spent at the Jazz Hall of Fame. It was a pleasant setting, and the buffet brunch provided was outstanding. We had a choice of three different fritatoes, and they were all wonderful. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the venue quite interesting if you're at all interested in jazz.

On a recent visit to Tulsa, we stopped at the Woody Guthrie Center. It was very enjoyable and exceeded our expectations. The music listening stations and movies were fun. But the Dust Bowl virtual reality experience is not to be missed. Yay!

Set in the lobby of the Philcade, one of downtown Tulsa's Art Deco skyscrapers, the windows from lobby stores of days past are filled with Art Deco memorabilia and art providing a look into an art movement extraordinaire. The lobby is stunning with its lighting fixtures and painted ceilings. Just look around and take it all in!!
