I was born and raised in Tulsa as a child of the 1960s. And I spent so much time downtown since I lived just over the bridge in West Tulsa and could walk over the bridge to downtown. That is what I liked seeing the best and love seeing the Rialto and those old movie theaters I spent so much time in. I loved seeing this video.
Yet another great video! I wish I could have spent time in Tulsa back then. Question: What is (was?) the tall round building shown very briefly? Round buildings were kinda a fad back then.
I tool around all these places today driving for work. Wild to see it back in the day, I recognize every location. There's a strip club on that entrance to the BA Expy. now lol. Imagine their surprise back then.
So glad Tulsa was able to grow past the centralized "Downtown" phase of the city. I wish we'd wake up again and stop trying to redevelop that obsolete wasteland.
What's your favorite part in this video? I liked the giant man and seeing downtown in the 60s

Thank you
Reminds me of my childhood, brings back many Tulsa memories.
Thank you
Seeing the BA Expressway and 31st & Yale was so neat. I'd love to see more videos of Tulsa highways under construction. Thanks for these videos.
Our pleasure!
Another great film showing Tulsa's visual history. Thanks Jack for all you do.

Round buildings were kinda a fad back then.
That is the University Club Tower which is the round yellow building near Riverside and Denver Ave.
Wish there was still a Walgreens downtown.
Me too. That building at 4th and Main is still there though
