Prepare for #OKArtsDay tomorrow with Oklahomans for the Arts at the Oklahoma State Capitol. My latest video shares stories from Norman Arts Council and Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art on why public funding for the arts is important.

(via The Center of the Universe – Uncovering Oklahoma)

Journeying to the Center of the Universe is closer than you think since it’s located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In downtown, there is pedestrian overpass along Boston Ave between 1st and Archer street. Coming from either side of this railroad overpass, you can follow a brick path that goes to a brick circle that is located directly over the tracks. The closest address is 50 S. Boston Ave, Tulsa.

When a person stands in the center, whatever they say, they will personally hear it echo while everyone around won’t hear the echo. This cool effect works best when there are no trains passing below. The Center of the Universe a fun stop if you’re on a date or with some friends in Downtown Tulsa.

Several feet southwest of the Center of the Universe stands the “Artificial Cloud.” Native American artist Robert Haozous created the seventy-two and one-half feet tall sculpture for the 1991 Mayfest.

The first episode of the Uncovering Oklahoma Weekly Show with special guest Paulette Nicole of Fat Nikki Food Tours!

In this episode we talk about Paulette’s food tour company and the food of Oklahoma City’s Plaza District. Plus we bring out “Fat Nikki” and “Lazy James” to do a tour of microwave cooking and sample some treats from Cookies-N-Cards in Norman.

I had a blast filming this episode and Paulette was a fantabulous guest! While I had fun making it, I have taken notes to improve things in the future. Hey, you never know how things are going to turn out until you try! 😉

I’m excited about this project. Doing a regular show is what I want to do in life. I hope you enjoy this weekly show and that you stay tuned!
