Country singer George Strait once crooned, “Tell me something bad about Tulsa.” He was lamenting the loss of his lover and looking for reasons to stay away from a broken romance. But as he remembered her “eyes as blue as Tulsa skies,” he found it difficult to stay firm in his resolve. Tourists to this city will understand why George Strait didn’t want to leave. This once western city, turned “Oil Capital of the World,” with its temperate weather, is a wonderful place to visit.
