To celebrate our love for Downtown Tulsa, a poem:
Downtown Tulsa
Your essence is a golden thread
Prosperous, vibrant, and inclusive
It lays across our parks
Coils up around our skyscrapers
Winds through our every district
Appears in every coffee shop and brewery
No restaurant, bar, or bakery goes untouched
It’s in our shops, in our museums, apartments, and hotels
No matter the occasion
You are where we eat, drink, stay, play
Our Ambassadors reflect it
Our visitors experience it
Our Downtown regulars know it
We all get to take part in it
Your essence is a golden thread
Prosperous, vibrant, and inclusive
A thread that is tied around my heart
