Art Deco. Native Culture. Live Music. World-Class Museums. Historic Greenwood. Best City Park in the U.S. TULSA. Its about live music.
It's about nightlife. It's about art and history. It's about sports. It's about family adventures.

Often referred to as the “Father of Route 66,” Cyrus S. Avery was a prominent Tulsan who took a major role in planning, naming, and promoting the road.Â

On any given day, Michael and Teresa Jones of might get visitors from France, Japan, or just down the block in Sapulpa. Their nostalgic auto-themed “man cave” shop is full of Route 66 and classic car memorabilia, mostly made by Michael himself. The store is located in a renovated former Model T assembly plant and dealership, and it’s become a go-to stop for all Route 66 lovers, especially international visitors. The Joneses, a husband-and-wife team, both left their corporate jobs to run the shop; Michael left his sales job in the 90s, while Teresa just retired to join her husband full-time. Hear what it’s like for them to be living their dream as an unofficial welcome team for thousands of Route 66 travelers.

CAPITAL CRUISE UPDATE:
Tulsa's Route 66 Capital Cruise was an unprecedented event that took the efforts of our entire community, and more, to make happen.
Despite Saturday's successful Guinness World Records attempt, many drivers that lined up to be in the parade ultimately were unable to participate. We recognize the effort, enthusiasm and commitment that went into being part of this celebration, and more importantly recognize the frustration these negative experiences caused.
We sincerely apologize to every affected driver. As such, all registered drivers will receive a refund of their base registration fees. Those will be physical checks mailed by the end of the month with no action required by registered drivers. Additionally, any drivers who purchased Capital Cruise merchandise and were unable to pick it up onsite will have it shipped to them free of charge.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and grace as we worked to manage an event of unprecedented scale.
—The Capital Cruise Team
