Monday at noon was the best day so far this Spring here in Tulsa, OK. So I put my hat on, hooked up my ipod, turned it to Miles Davis, grabbed my camera and went for a walk.<\/p>\n

On the north side of downtown I came across this crane. I love big manly machinery. I hope that they keep it here a while. I think they are going to demolish a condemned bridge over the railroad tracks. I’ll have to come by periodically and make sure they are doing it right. Also, look at the blue sky. Like I said it was a gorgeous day to be out and about.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I am just a kid when it comes to trains. I love them all.

This is the BOK Tower, built in the mid 1970’s. If it looks familiar it may be because it was designed by Minuru Yamasaki and Associates who also designed the World Trade Center buildings. The BOK tower is 52 stories and 667 feet tall which is almost exactly one half the height of the WTC buildings (1362 feet and 1368 feet). Supposedly the BOK tower is the tallest building in the plains states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. (Wow! the plains states are world renown for their real tall buildings!!)<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sign inside the BOK tower. I’ve never been in a building where walking is not permitted. Beware, we Okies can be strict! I confess, I willfully walked through the Upper Level Lobby. Just try and find me!\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/a> Gotta go, I’m on the run from the walking police. Thanks for visiting.<\/p>\n
