Ah, my bad.  The tacky glowiing thing.  I stand corrected (people actually 
WORK there?)

Having spent much of Memorial Day wandering about duplicating pictures from 
the Tulsa Race Riot (much of the midnight to 3.a.m. events were centered 
just north of the Williams Center - and I mean that literally - the Boston 
St arch over the tracks was the scene of a lot of shooting - but I digress), 
I'm really not inclined to take other people's tours.  Mine are boring 
enough :)

But thanks for the information.

[BTW, just as a point of interest, Monday, while hiking up what was an alley 
in a residential section in 1921, up "Standpipe Hill" (the forested area 
west of OSU-Tulsa, between Detroit and Cincinatti) - I ran across a campsite 
in the trees, fire still smoking, and the smell of pot heavy in the air, 
well used camping equipment still in place, so I wound up missing exactly 
the shot I wanted, since I had to go around (as you know, just walking 
through people's campsites is rude :) ), I was reminded again just how much 
things change downtown, and how quickly you go from one world to another.]
