Title: Does anybody know...
Post by: Hoss on September 04, 2015, 01:47:47 PM
...what this might have been?  It's just southwest of 61st and Sheridan.

Here's a wider view of it.

Someone posted these on the FB group named "Lost Tulsa".  I'm sure someone here knows what it might have been.  Someone mentioned an old airport, but I don't think there was one at that location.

I think the airport was a mile over.

The airfield was NW of 61st and Yale with the N/S runway was Urban just west of the shopping center, if you notice the street doesn't run true N/S and the alternate was either 58th street or 58th place. The one SW 61st and Sheridan wasn't there in the mid 70's. Had a friend living in one of the duplexes on Lakewood.

The followup, if anyone was curious -  it was supposed to be a small business park
