Feb 19th -- Continued

After the PAC, we went over to Iron Gate Ministries located at Trinity Episcopal Church (#7 from GIS day 2011 scavenger hunt; see previous post). Trinity Episcopal is located at 222 East 5th Street  Tulsa, OK 74103.

"My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people"


From there we went over to Oneok Field (#9)

Home of the Tulsa Drillers
Oneok Field is located in Tulsa's Historic Greenwood





From there we took a detour to two of Tulsa's "12 'must see' Landmarks" Greenwood Historical District and the North Tulsa Heritage Foundation/The Mabel B. Little Heritage House. You can find out more about Tulsa's "12 'must see' Landmarks" HERE.
This is the Mabel B. Little Heritage House located at 322 N Greenwood

WE FOUND ANOTHER PENGUIN!!! This is "Jazzguin"

Greenwood Cultural Center at 322 N Greenwood

All through out the Greenwood Historical District there are items memorializing the Race Riot of 1921.
A list of unpaid financial claims

Throughout Greenwood there are small plaques in the sidewalk memorializing destroyed business that were not reopened










 From Greenwood we made another stop on Tulsa "12 'must see' Landmarks" at the center of the universe located at 20 E Archer St, Tulsa, OK.
Center of the Universe and the Artificial Cloud
 "The Artificial Cloud Sculpture is an odd sculpture created by artist Bob Haozous in 1991 and installed the following year. The Artificial Cloud sculpture stands 72.5 foot tall, and is one of the most detailed and well known sculpture in Tulsa."
"The Center of the Universe hides in the shadow of the Artificial Cloud Sculpture.  It is a place full of mystery, as strange and abnormal acoustic effects can be made when one stands at the center of a brick circle on top of the pedestrian bridge.  Many claim that this place is haunted, others claim that it is a secret entrance into another dimension."

From the artificial cloud we headed over to The Brady District to continue our original mission of GIS day scavenger hunt and to find Brady Theater (#10)







 From Brady Theater we headed on over to the BOK center (#2) on the way there we drove over a brick road and of course we took pictures.

Follow the red brick road to BOK Center

 From the BOK Center we headed over to Holy Family Cathedral (#4) to look at the stained glassed windows, but it was Sunday and it appeared as if services were going on so we just took a picture of the outside.

After Holy Family, we again made a detour to Tulsa County Central Library to check out their vertical file on the Penguins. While we were there we found 2!!


"Black and White and Read all over"


















 
"Tulsy"
After the library we made another detour to one of Tulsa's "12 'must see' landmarks" the Harwelden Home at 2210 S Main St. And guess what else we found there, ANOTHER PENGUIN!

The 30 room, Harwelden Mansion

To be continued.... Have I mentioned I really don't like the two hundred character limit for tags!
