HuffPo piece on Tulsa & Art Deco

[Ed W]

Hillary Speed offers a very positive view of the city:

As an Oklahoma transplant – a native New Englander who moved here for love – I've had fun getting to know the Sooner State. I also host the occasional out-of-town visitor, so I'm always on the hunt for colorful history, interesting art, quirky shopping and a great meal. I have found it all, plus some surprises, in Oklahoma's second-largest city: Tulsa.

It was a great read.

It was picked up by the AP and the NY Times. Big time! I know her husband.

Great story.  Should have the Tulsa haters on this forum seething.

I only know of one that's posted in weeks.  How many do you have?

She made some great picks. La comida de El Rio Verde fue muy bueno.

I was at El Rio Verde yesterday.  It's become about a twice-a-month visit for me.  We had to wait about 15 minutes for a table there yesterday.  I never mind the wait.  I've never ventured outside the wet burrito, although a co-worker of mine yesterday had a torta that looked like it could feed a small family.  I might try that sometime in the future.

It is a good read. A little centered to the Downtown area but that's where most of Huff Po readers congregate and that's OK.
There are a few more things about Tulsa, South and East of Peoria. But all in all a very possitive write up.

This same piece was in the NY Times.  I'll bet the Chamber/Visit Tulsa/CVB worked on getting this placed.
