I will be spending more time in OK now that my daughter is moving back there. I don't know much about the rest of Oklahoma, but we LOVE Tulsa!

I lived in OK for 14 years. Was UPC for all but a couple of months of it at the very beginning of it all.

Well, you can always visit triumphant1's church that he pastors; that's a good place to start.

Then ORU is very impressive; that's where my daughter graduated. There is a pair of HUGE solid brass praying hands in the front of the campus that is worth seeing. The prayer tower is interesting, as it has the history of Oral Roberts' life and the school on video. ORU is at Lewis & 71st, I think.

There is a shopping plaza called Utica Square that has great shops.

Willie George's church/youth center is amazing to go visit.

Let's see....good restaurants would be Cheddars, Zio's (my fave), Charleston's, and a lot more by the mall that I can't think of right now. I think the mall is at 71st and Memorial, but I'm not positive.

Outside of the southern Tulsa area, I'm completely lost and have not been anywhere else.
