Something neat I saw years ago...When I worked as a courier delivering stuff downtown I noticed Sooner Federal Savings on Boston had a set of doors on the building that must have been 8-10 feet high with a rough texture on them. I took a good close look at them one day and it was actually a hugh, raised relief map of Tulsa with the river, tall buildings, roads and such. I thought it was the coolest thing I had seen in a while. Since it's not Sooner anymore, I wounder what happened to those doors since it's been remodeled. It seems that they should be in the historical society or something. I believe there were 2 set of them. Anyone know their whereabouts??

They are now in the lobby of the building where FedexKinko's and Schnake Turnbo Frank are located at 4th and Boston. I just saw them a week or so ago.

To reinvent the wheel, I would love to do a photo book of art-deco stuff around Tulsa.

You'd better hurry.  We are losing our Art Deco buildings.
