Cajun Cornbread Boy Tours Tulsa

Today, Cajun Cornbread Boy toured Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our first stop was the BOK Tower in downtown Tulsa. As of today, it is the tallest building in Oklahoma. It has 52 stories and rises 667 feet. A friend took us up to the top for some great views of Tulsa.

Here is a great view of the Arkansas River flowing through Tulsa.

Cajun Cornbread Boy could also see the Tulsa Driller’s new baseball field in downtown Tulsa.

The Center of the Universe is at the top of a pedestrian bridge in Tulsa. If you stand on the opposite side of the brick circle from someone else, you hear their echo, but not your own. If you stand at the center of the brick circle and talk, you will hear yourself echo, but others will not hear any echo. Pretty cool!

Mrs. Oakley and her children took Cajun Cornbread Boy to see the Tulsa Golden Driller, a famous Tulsa landmark. The Golden Driller is a 76-foot-tall, 43,500-pound statue of an oil worker. Many locals refer to Tulsa as “The Oil Capital of the World."

The Brady Arts District is one of Tulsa’s oldest areas, characterized by two-story brick warehouses. It contains two of Tulsa’s most historic entertainment venues, The Brady Theater and Cain’s Ballroom in addition to many local artists’ galleries and restaurants.

After a long day of sightseeing, Cajun Cornbread Boy had a yummy lunch at a new downtown restaurant that is located next to the Tulsa Drillers baseball stadium. He enjoyed his burger so much that I may need to get a bigger box for him to be shipped to California!

St. Pius X Catholic School has enjoyed the week with Cajun Cornbread Boy. He will be missed, but we wish him well on his many other adventures! God Bless!
