Booker T. Grad here. My father worked downtown and occasionally we would eat lunch together in some of the vanished places. There is a fun book on restaurants in Tulsa that are gone.
I moved from Tulsa in 1968 at age 7. Love looking at vintage films of cities in the 60's and 70's. The thing I notice is is how thin everyone looks. Also a lot less traffic. Just generally, a better quality of life I think.
I was only in Tulsa once: it was 1968, I was 13 and on a bus trip from St. Louis to New Mexico to go to Boy Scout camp. I remember 2 things about driving through downtown. How attractive many of the women were and how many men were wearing white shoes. We had dinner a local cafeteria, thirsty, I took a large swig of butter milk thinking it was regular milk...I never made that mistake again.
This is excellent. I love how everyone was dressed nice and presentable, even the high school students. What happened to that? Now we all look homeless. I worked in what is now Boulder Towers at 18th & Boulder for almost two decades. It was interesting to see it prior to the second tower being added. Thanks for this. Subscribed.

Good thing KOTV film is still around for documentation!
So many of those scenes brought back memories! 👍
Glad you liked it
I loved this. I used to work at skelly oil at 15th and boulder. These were great days for sure
This is wonderful. I’m a transplant, but love history and learning more about Tulsa.
