Introducing Tulsa

A downtown that is usually eerily empty and highways with some serious chain store-itis make Tulsa (population 382, 500) seem less than stellar. The green rolling hills to the south, filled with oil money-bought mansions, paint a prettier picture. T-Town was billed as the ‘Oil Capital of the World’ in the early to mid-20th century, but the town actually didn’t have much black gold: just oil companies reaping the rewards of statewide wells.

The staff at the Tulsa Visitor Center (800-558-3311; www.visittulsa.com; William Center Towers II, 2 W 2nd St; 8am-5pm; ) are very helpful.
