In some ways, Tulsa tried to be ahead of the curve in the 70's. After the "white flight" in the late 60's, and the shopping change with South Roads and South Land, and the roof collapse of North Land Shopping Center, everything shifted south and east. I give credit to Main Mall, and then the Williams Center Forum trying to jump start down town, but it was too little too late. Even the development of Gilcrease Hills residential area was not enough in the early 70's. I still think that if the Ford Glass Plant was built anywhere but where it was built would have changed the face of Tulsa in the direction that Tulsa grew.

I truly feel that what happened to Tulsa became a case of apathy. No body cared about downtown. Even if you went to an Oilers game or a concert, you went in, and left. And the loss of old buildings and turning them into parking lots, I'm glad that both Mayo buildings survived, too many others haven't.

We went to a haunted house in the Ma Hu.  I'm thinking it was '75 or '76.

"Scream In The Dark" ran '73, '74, and '75. One of several fires in late 1975 ended Scream by severely damaging the house. The last fire that was the nail in the coffin was in '77 or '78 that started in the basement and destroyed a large portion of the flooring for the ground floor, and spread to the upper level of the house turning it into a shell.

The idea of the forum is to make Tulsa a better place to live, by looking at what others cities have and do, it can inprove life here in Tulsa- widen your horizions and look outside the city limits.... Tulsa is not a bubble

We're talking about a Tulsa park in the works and you go off on a tangent about an Omaha haunted house.

How about staying on topic, even if you don't live here.

I think it’s a dust bag of a vacuum cleaner, actually.  Explains a few things.
