I am embarking on a new project that should keep me out of controversial TN topics, for a while at least. I have a nice little event bus that I purchased, renovated, refurbished, repurposed and took on as my own child. Which means of course tremendous outlays of cash and ego. Its not a party bus per se, but is certainly a nice platform for parties. It is a Champion 29 passenger bus on a Freightliner chassis that's capable of highway speeds but is nimble enough for city use. Its great for trips up to about two hours away. I cut the passengers down to 22, re-arranged the high back seating, added creature comforts, lighting, stereo, power outlets etc. Rides nice and has big tinted windows.
Of course it will be available for charter, football games, museum trips, organizations, clubs, weddings etc. Lots of buses do that and the style of my bus is unique so I'll get some of that business. But, I want to carry groups to visit what I think are the Tulsa area's little known but very interesting, treasures. The Tulsa I think most of us on here love to share. I also want to make connections for those that fear the areas outside of their comfort zone. It still amazes me how many people are scared of downtown, North side, West side, East side and won't visit them. And, the undeserved loathing that much of these areas have for South Tulsa/Jenks/Bixby/Broken Arrow, Owasso and Sand Springs. I am a native Tulsan so I long ago lost any reservation about visiting these areas and their businesses.
For instance a couple of our family favorites from when the kids were little is Redbud Valley out east and Braden Park in Whiteside. We also loved going to Turkey Mountain but that is no longer a secret! Also little known is a space ship looking, round home on pillars, over in North West Tulsa.
Please tell me about your favorite little known treasure that makes Tulsa special to you. Whether its Historical, architectural, magical, scary, dated, or food related. I may call upon you to help with that tour. I thought immediately of Franklin and our Art Deco district, Reservoir Hill, Osage Prairie, and the tunnels of downtown Tulsa.
My website is almost done but not ready for prime time. So send me a message here or at my email.
Thanks, Steve
