Rt 66 Village
taking car light trails, while waiting on the fireworks to start. I got a helicopter as it circled the Williams Tower
Replica Neon signs of motels that use to be along Rt. 66 in Tulsa. Lights on ceremony was Sept 15th. The small park is on the west side of the Cyrus Avery Bridge, which is closed now, but was the original Rt. 66 bridge over the Arkansas River
With some of downtown Tulsa in the background
Again I love old Barns
Cars are parked on what was the old passenger loading tracks

Mid 1930's Historic Tulsa Fire station, Restored
I think this is going to be demolished at some point in the future, it is now closed to foot traffic. The bridge was originally a Midland Valley RR bridge across the Arkansas River
Tulsa Fire Station 13. This was an active fire station from the 1930's until the mid 1960's when it was left for a more modern facility. For the next 50 years the building was used for a variety of things mostly as warehouse space with no or very little upkeep and maintenance. The building was purchased in 2019 and restored to it's original condition complete with a vintage Fire Truck in the single bay. The facility is now used as an event center

Light on the top change colors, I got one of each color here
The old silos were on a large farm, when the farm was sold in the late 70's to make an industrial park, the agreement was the silos would remain.
I like the sign that said "Eligible for the National Register of Historic Places" not actually on the register
Sign shows Gas prices at 19, 21, and 23 cents per gallon
