He was one of my education professors at TU.

So were my kids. I was transferred here in '78 and during their successive HS years, Tulsa was still a bassackwards community and at least politically and religiously, it still is. Tulsa did not spring to life until: (1) Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor had the foresight to start the ball rolling on the new ballpark, which was a monumental catalyst for the development of downtown [including the highly successful BOK Arena]; (2) the state threw out its Neanderthal liquor laws and approved liquor-by-the-drink, thus spurring investments by countless out-of-state restaurateurs and; (3) Oklahoma's far-too-late but huge improvements of its highway infrastructure [but still notably missing the updates needed in neighborhood roadways]. Politically and educationally, it's still in the Dark Ages although many of its surrounding community's school districts [Bixby, Jenks, Owasso and Union] excel and continue to serve as examples for the rest of Oklahoma school districts [no doubt aided by highly supportive patrons and a more wealthy tax base].

So basically if that tower finished at its height will Oneok would be the tallest building in Tulsa? Or the same height as BOK tower?

@@tulaviation4539 - It was supposed to be 52 floors but I don't know what height that translates to. Probably a bit taller than the BOK tower.

@@nathankelley9760oh wow. Wait so do you know if Oneok will ever get to finish at its height of 52 stories?

17:45, I grew up in Fort Smith,AR. in the 1970s and 80s. My family would take a weekend trip a couple of times a year and go ice skating at the Williams Center. I loved that place and that mall in the same building. Also,18:04 could you tell me where those fountains are located?

KVOO Radio at a frequency of 1170Khz. The late Paul Harvey began his career there and the late country "swing" musician, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys group, anchored the western swing radio programs that were broadcast live from Cain's Ballroom in the 40's and 50's.

Interesting. Maybe American wasn't liked by the people who made the video back in 1980s

I've been hearing that for decades!

I knew a few people who went a few years before and heard the same thing from all of them.
