Visit Tulsa

Not everyone wants a “go-go-go” vacation, writes Emily Caldwell in her piece, “The 6 best places to unplug: U.S. analog travel destinations.” (You can find it on Yahoo Travel). She names Tulsa as one of the top spots in the country for traveling at “a slower pace that encourages mindfulness.” 
Come for a weekend getaway full of nature, long strolls, and unplugging.

Museum That! is a four-day museum experience hosted entirely in American Sign Language for those in the signing community, by Tulsa-based nonprofit lololook. 
The experience is designed for members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, as well as their families, to experience cultural institutions in their own language.

there’s a fascinating cast of characters to meet at Oklahoma Aquarium 🦈 🐟
From an alligator snapping turtle that’s older than the state of Oklahoma to the world’s largest collection of bull sharks, this is a spot worth exploring

This year isn’t just Route 66’s 100th birthday — it’s Claude Neon Federal Signs’ 100th year in business, too.
The two go hand-in-hand, as Claude Neon Federal Signs is responsible for almost all of the neon signs (new and old) on Route 66 in Tulsa. All of the iconic neon you associate with the Mother Road, like Meadow Gold District | Route 66 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Circle Cinema, and The Blue Whale of Catoosa, was made by the company’s glass benders. The art is an endangered one, with the popularity of LED alternatives. But as Joe Kesterson, senior designer at Claude Neon Federal Signs, explains, the Route’s Centennial is bringing the tradition back.

Marathon this, marathon that — would you run a 3,400+ multiday footrace along Route 66? 
In 1928, about 200 runners signed up to participate in the “Bunion Derby,” a wild publicity stunt for the newly completed Route 66. 
In Episode 3 of Tulsa Route 66 Chronicles (hosted by radio legend John Erling), we learn more about one of the weirdest sporting events in history you’ve probably never heard of.
