The building is 60 floors tall. One of the tallest buildings in the state and there is nothing really close to it anywhere close.<\/p>\n

Cityplex Towers<\/a> started out as Oral Robert’s medical school and hospital. Now it is a huge office building with a banquet room on the top floor. You can literally see for miles from up there. You can see for yourself just how flat Oklahoma is.<\/p>\n

The big round building is the Mabee Center<\/a> where the ORU basketball team plays. Sweetie and I saw Huey Lewis and the News in concert a few years back. There is a plaque in the lobby that talks about Elvis playing there once.<\/p>\n

There is the famous Praying Hands. Sorry about the blurry picture. I thought it would be too nerdy to take my brand spanking new “nice” camera to the event. So I took my point and shoot.<\/p>\n

ORU was playing baseball Friday night.<\/p>\n

And my favorite, the Prayer Tower<\/a>. Whatever you think of Oral Roberts<\/a> you have to admit that the prayer tower is a striking building. It is basically a three dimensional modernistic cross. I didn’t realize that on my own, I had to read it before it sunk in.<\/p>\n
