I’ve always been a huge fan of the Downtown Civic Center Plaza and found a quiet time to get some photos this past weekend. This is such a well designed facility in my opinion and it seems like such a shame to see it so underutilized. Many of these buildings are totally vacant since abandoned by the City of Tulsa.

Mid-Mod enthusiasts Johnney and Jennie Hall have started a website chronicling their adventures in the restoration of their mid-century modern home in Tulsa’s Wedgwood neighborhood. The site features a blog detailing flea market finds and addictions, original and current images of their 1956 Parade of Homes house entitled “The Citation”, an overview of the the 1956 Parade of Homes and current happenings in the Wedgwood Neighborhood. Some might remember “The Citation” as it was featured in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Mid-Century Modern Tour last October.

Tulsa is near the top of the list on Forbes.com recent list of “America’s Most Livable Cities”. In fact, they rated our city #5, right before Oklahoma City, based on metropolitan area statistics. While it may not have accounted for natural beauty or architecture it appears the study was very formulaic when comparing metro regions on five-year income growth per household and cost of living from Moody’s Economy.com, crime data and leisure index from Sperling’s Best Places, and annual unemployment statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Get ready for a huge tourism boom. My bet is people will be flocking here once they see this!

Fairly major construction [...]
Our first official home tour, Living in HIFI, was a success! Thanks to the homeowners who not only graciously opened their homes to a bunch of strangers but had also obviously worked very hard in preparation. In total we had six homes within the Lortondale subdivision open this summer evening of various condition, taste and [...]
